Official KotB Demo Final Bug List

Do not know. I installed the demo right over my ToEE/Co8mods and it kept crashing. Now I removed and istalled ToEE and the demo. Haven't got beyond Spider forest (where I got killed) yet. Is it safe to save in the wilderlands or do it cause saves to corrupt?

 

Yep the CTD bug is still there. I did spider forest went back to the keep for sum rest, no problem. Did the same thing with lizardmen and after killing the evil people inte the Thorp. BUT then I tried to get sum extra XP for crafitng I did a RE. Rested there, got more REs. Got enough xp for those gloves of dex +6 and went back to the Keep for some crafting. Tried to save BEFORE entering the Keep (or is it the Inn?), while still standing on the market place, and there it was: CTD. Reloded. Tried entering the Keep without saving before, CTD. Damn.

ps. always entered the city from the main gate, with no visible weapons.

 

So how do you explain my experience? I removed my ToEE installation and install the Kotb as recommended in the forum with the newest patch. The one thing I can find as the cause of CTD is doing RE. I did rest in the spider forest map as I did in the lizardman map with no problems. But as soon as tried to get some additional XP from RE maps, and rested there -> instant CTD.

 

I like it. It gives me a better idea of ​​what's going on.
I hate to bring up tired old topic, but what is known triggers the "market" syndrome CTD?

 

Hi Rocktoy
That is what caused your problem. NEVER rest on a RE Map !!! IIRC there was a discussion about this in an earlier bug thread about 1 - 2 years ago.

So is there an actual bug list, or would I need to read the entire topic to make sure I'm not mentioning something that's already been reported? This is the first time I've played this module. The first time I ran into Lady Maeri was during the day. So I advanced the time till evening and talked to her again. The game assumed I'd had a previous discussion with her, and had completed her first quest. Neither of these conditions are true, but I was still able to obtain the reward.

 

Well that's the thing. Apparently the first quest was kill a dog, but she never actually gave me the quest in the first place, namely because I had never spoken to her before. So the very first time I did speak to her, the script acted as if I had already been assigned the quest and had already run through all her introductory dialog trees. But yes, at that point I did convince her the dog was dead, since I am good, and was able to pickup her second quest. Not really relevant to the bug though, if I understand your question correctly.

I guess I'd make a decent beta tester. I always seem to find the last few bugs in mods, even the really polished ones. Or perhaps I'm just jinxed. Anyway here's another one:

Hired a mercenary in the tavern, walked outside with him, then promptly dismissed him. Anyway, his "shadow" (the circular position marker) is forever with me now, even though he himself is not. Nothing else: no body, no combat turns, no shadow, just that circle. It gets highlighted when I select the entire party, and moves with the group as if he is still there.

Edit: I did confirm it's the mercenary's placemarker, because his face is still showing up in the formations window.

 

I suppose this would be as good a place as any to ask, but: How the HECK did any of you get this thing to run after you activated it? I keep reading all of these posts about OTHER bugs in it, but all I can get it to do on my Windoze 7 Pro is load the credits. When it gets to the point where the opening movie sequence should be it invariably crashes back to the desktop with an option to "close the program and search for an online line solution" (which in typical Microsoft fashion it never does). Only, I can't choose this option because my mouse pointer is gone so I have to go through the task manager. What gives??!? Am I doing something wrong? HELP!

 

Thanks, Gaear, for the tip. I'm sorry it took so long to acknowledge your help, but I've spent the last couple of days trying to find out how to change video card settings. Big waste of time with no help there. The internet search engines proved usesless (as usual); no one seemed to have any idea of what they where talking. I guess I'll just have to be content with the mods that I CAN play that don't require such adjustments. Seriously, though, I might just have to switch back over to Debian.
