[1.6.6] Game becomes unplayable when enemy acts

[whitelion]

When this randboss that generated in Sandworm Lair acts, the game becomes unplayable. No keyboard or mouse commands do anything, and no talents can be used. Attempted to quit to the main menu briefly flashes a LUA error, but the whole game crashes before I can copy or send it.

I took some screenshots of the enemy in question.

This is the second time this has happened. Another time it happened with another randboss in Heart of Gloom. In both cases, the game become unplayable, and I couldn't figure out any way to get things unstuck. Force quitting can reset to the start of the area, but the bug always happens once this enemy acts, and so at best on this character Sandworm Lair is permanently unplayable.

Did you find anything in the te4.log file? If it an infinite loop sort of issue it probably logs it.

[whitelion]

I forced the error again and attached the te4.log and character log. It does look like there is an error in the te4.log, but I don't know what it means. I had to compress the logs to get under the file size limit.

Some bug with Flamethrower, can't really tell what specifically.

I guess it's the same bug that make my Anni unplayable, as it can't shoot now. Happened when met some tinker-based mobs in HoG.

This appears to be a general problem with the game for me at least. Happened for a third time with Sandworm Queen.

This has ended my last 3 runs, so I think I'm going to stop playing until it is addressed. If I'm the only one experiencing this I guess it could be a problem with my install, but I didn't change anything and it started with 1.6.6.

That is a different bug. So you may not have won the game, but you caught two bugs.

Wow I guess I hit the jackpot then haha. Either way, the behavior of this one as far as the user experience was about the same. Can't input commands and the game greatly slows down and crashes if you push the issue.

[Sorien]

Just experienced the same bug and fixed it for myself.

File: tome.team -> \data\talents\gifts\summon-utility.lua

Line 381 and Line 389: t.getDur should be t.getDuration

[whitelion]

Confirm that does fix the second bug I reported.

However, if you do this you can't play online because your module hash is invalid.

[shijin]

Have the same error however it occurs for me whenever I mouse over the 4th talent in the Summoner tree under Wild-gift/Summoning(utility).
