Lua Error: /engine/Particles.lua:78: attempt to index a nil

While trying to load a character I get to 100% and hang. It only happens on one character . . . I believe the pertinent part of the te4_log.txt is below:

any help would be greatly appreciated. I turned off all shaders (all I could find) and still got the error . . .

Thanks in advance

Would this happen to be a 1.2.5 character that's been migrated to 1.3?

[Keia1980]

Yeah it was . . . and it worked fine for a while, but then I started to play it about a week ago and it won't load now. I've loaded other 1.2.5's without any issue.

I can link the entire log if it will help.

[Stuntofthelitter]

I can maaaaaayybe repair it. Can't promise anything though. Open a ticket, send me a copy of your save: http://tome.gatheringspot.org/hesk/

Thanks in advance for all your help. I'm looking forward to seeing if it can be fixed. On the plus side - all other characters are able to be loaded.

[Keia1980]

Just to update, I unzipped the fix and moved it to the save area. Still couldn't open the file. Wondering if I need to remove the addon you mentioned from the addons area. It was disabled, but I hadn't removed it.

Otherwise - thanks again for your help. I'm not worried about an isolated lost save (not at lvl 24 anyway )

[Stuntofthelitter]

Okay, so I fixed one upgrading issue in the save but you're running into something weird related to other existing files it seems. First make sure that if you're using steam you have steam cloud disabled for the game. Otherwise the fixed version will just get written over. I'm hoping this is the issue.

Next, backup your world.teaw in the main /save folder. Stick that backup somewhere, delete world.teaw. See if the game loads.

If the problem persists past this...well, you probably don't want to deal with further steps here jsut to recover a level 24 so in that case restore the world.teaw and mourne its passing.

That worked . . . thanks for all your assistance !!
