Official KotB Demo Bug List

I experienced the CTD problem in some way.

I picked up the 1/2 Orc monk NPC and was hanging around the tavern at night. Saved the game there. I was able to leave the tavern, but any attempt to enter another building and it would CTD. Try to save, it would CTD but the save game would be there when you started the game again. If you tried to load it, it would CTD.

I restarted a fresh game and everything is going well!

By the way, I tested the Paladin's detect evil (someone above had an issue) and it worked. I used at the entrance to the thorp and the guard tested positive for being a baddy.

 

@dragonalumni
Well, we tested the beta a long time before this demo was
released. The crashes didn't occur that often because there
were fewer testers.

I'll tell you what always prevented my game from crashing.
I can't guarantee it will work for you but during the testing
period this seemed to work.
-I always click on the map names on the right panel not on the
world map
-I always go the Keep through the main gate

 

Hey, Maggit - Your replying a note I deleted the moment I made it...

Anyways.. onwards.. Why is the starting equipment so bad? My paladin has leather armor, my elven sorcerer was given a sling, if you choose a weapon focus you don't get the weapon anymore and it would be nice if the starting map had 2 glaives, or another glaive was made available in the town. I see a lot of variations on halberds, it's complicated, I'm afraid to specialize in something like this and it's all going to depend on what magic weapons are available later, but I hate making a character build based on that.

The wooden tower shield from the starting merchant has a badly bugged graphic also.



****** A semi-solution to search check clunkiness...

The only thing that bothers me about the new search check is the fact that I don't like the object taking up an inventory slot. But then it occurred me that it probably doesn't have too.

I was reading on another forum about a bug regarding scribe scrolls. If you inventory is full and you scribe a scroll it would put it into an invisible spot. The effect of this is that the player would not have access to the object to trade/sell, but it would still be available on the radical menu! This seems like a perfect solution for custom skills, I'm not sure how high the inventory mapping goes, but obviously its bigger then the 24 visible slots. It should be possible to move the search tool and other custom skills into the invisible inventory slots which would free up the players inventory and give a clean look overall.

 

Funny you should mention that, as that's exactly how it was setup. Something wierd went wrong just before demo release though, so it wound up like this for now. Don't worry in the full release it will no longer be taking up an inventory slot.

Cuchulainn.

 

I'm running on Windows Vista on a Toshiba laptop (A135-4727) and my bartender is desnudo. Can you switch it to the cook?

I can no longer find the sewer entrance, does it come and go?

By the way, Keep on the Borderland is FANTASTIC! I like the idea that it is being published in pieces. That way I will stay in each area longer and get more out of it.

 

Yes. I was just about to report the underwear clad bartender.

 

Played some today, still no crashes since the clean install.

 

Im having trouble rescuing the merchant under the forest... I have cleared the whole place, and when i get to the exit(the floating mini blue door icon) I cant interact with it at all...Is this a bug, or have I messed something up?

 

I had no problem interacting with it at all. It maybe the way your characters are disposed next to the entrance... if you have only NPCs next to the icon, you might not be able to use the doorway... but maybe you already knew that.

 

yeah, Ive tried using it with every char, and with plenty of space around him..


also, on starting a new game I seem to have found a 'cake win' If u refuse to sheath your weapons at the main gate the first time in, the guard natuarlly attacks, i u kill the leader... the game 'ends' with a cut scean of how evil grows richer

 

He he...that worked!

Just wait, and you'll see the real scene

 

Hum, yes, i've seen that in the folders...
To be honest, i found it a bit offensive :errf:

A note on that:

i've quitted on the market, and no CtD...i get intrigued, loaded and quitted...and then i got my CTD.
It happens when i am close to the shoemaker, which, casually, has an animation.
If i quit next to anyone else without a "special" animations (Like a guard, or a cat or the innkeeper), i have no problems. It would be a pity to lose those details...

Btw,
-Nobby it's barefoot? And...i've bought a rusty shortsword and have it polished, and was waaay more cheaper than buy a new shortsword (but, there's a nasty nasty idea to compensate that :transform )
-Bro Fist doesn't have a dialogue to dismiss (in any case i wouldn't get it to my party, even Robin has better stats -_- )
-I don't understand Robin's dialogue..."-test", "-Got there!"...i suppose it isn't finished?

Sorry not having anything else more useful...i don't have any problems now, not even lags (and now the roll systems seems to be more generous)

 

Didnt know the cats had a purpose, I was wondering why they were all over the place. My bad, I will leave them alone from now on.
I saw you mention the end game slide, I only get one slide (I am under the assumption there should be more), and after the talking stops for that slide, I then get some wierd gibberish at the top of the screen and it takes me back to the load game menu..
