Game crash bug (1.6B2)

[SDY]

I'm attempting to get the achievement "Never Look Back And There Again."

I started a Shalore Anorithil "Nevergowest" on Exploration mode, goofed around a bit and died a bajillion times, and got to level 12.

I went to the "Unremarkable Cave" which is where the plot starts when you would ordinarily first arrive in the East. At the far side of the cave is where I'd expect I would go to progress the plot. When I arrive there, the game locks up, and the screen flickers loading the graphics, then going black, reloading the graphics, etc...

Only way out is to force quit.

It does not appear the achievement is possible if this interaction doesn't load (not that it's something a sane person would even attempt on anything but Exploration).

The attached file has the first and last parts removed. The problematic events should be at the very end of the file.

Hum I cannot reproduce it with your steps :/

Can you retry without all those addons please just to be sure?

[SDY]

I’ll give it a shot with just the official stuff.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll try with nothing.

[darkgod]

Thanks!

Tried with just official addons, it worked.

Must be one of the mods.

OK. Succeeded in getting past that crash, but still can’t progress. When I get back to Aeryn, she only gives her typical starting dialogue for an Anorithil.

I have the quest in the journal to go meet Aeryn.

Fillarel died, for what it’s worth.

No error then? What was the problem?

As for how to continue .. it's not a very pretty achievement .. you have to not be a very good person to do it .. if you get what I mean

[SDY]

Just looks like the quest chain is broken - likely because the dialogue for the Naga quest is taking priority over the dialogue for the main quest.

The bug described in the first post looks similar to http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=49179 in 1.5.10. Maybe it's worth trying STR from there.

Steps to reproduce.
1. Enable Developer Mode.
2. Create a character: Cornac Anorithil.
3. Exit to World map and go to Unremarkable cave. Teleport over any orc patrol with Ctrl+LMB.
4. Kill enemies with Ctrl+Shift+RMB. Proceed towards the room with the boss, but do not enter it (don't trigger the quest).
5. Save the game and make a back up copy of it. Move the mouse cursor somewhere inside the room and press LMB.

With the addons disabled, the quest section in the cave triggers correctly, but the next quest stage (starting the hunt for the prides) doesn’t.

Makes sense, actually - the character wouldn’t know anything about the staff.
