Official KotB Demo Final Bug List

Something that reading the other posts has triggered that i didnt know was a bug or not.

I went to kill the dragon and because i am a stealth guy i walked all the way around the edge of the map the first time and popped just the dragon. He got a breath weapon on my cleric who failed his save, so i reloaded and just ran up the middle the second time.

Second time i popped 3 giant lizards along with the dragon which totally screwed me, but by going the out and around way i got the dragon alone. Not sure if this is how you wanted it, but it is what happened, not sure if this codes anything like NWN did, but maybe you can paint the encounter area all the way across the map so you get them even if you go out and around.

Also, I find that i can run right up to alot of things. I can get right next to the spider queen, spread my guys out so i dont get hit with web and then kill her very easy. and i have to initiate combat with her. This happens with a few other random encounters as well.

Funny thing is, i took out the dragon fairly easy with some tactics, but fought 4 jackels that handed my ass to me. killed 4 members of my party before i reloaded. :blink:

 

You can get up close to the Spider Queen because you can talk to her.

 

talk to a spider queen...who woulda thunk it. not me..i see a spider with that mark on her abdomen..the hourglass looking thing...first thing i reach for is a sword..or a rolled up newspaper.

talk to a spider..crazy stuff..pure lunacy. :biggergri

another thing that irks me..

the fact that trees dont go away when you are tying to combat. i cant see my guys, have no idea how they are positioned and i have a mage standing next to a jackel and wondering why he is taking damage. tehy should fade or give me a big circle of clearness around my party. (sorry just a small rant that in no way is the modders fault. but one i needed to vent.)

 

Welcome to Co8! :thumbsup:

 

I do think however the spider queen's minions should show up even if I initiated the attack first. Otherwise whacking her is quite easy...

Since she would only summon her minions when the conversation goes wrong or I tried to hide her egg

 

Not complaining..cause this could be a ToEE problem. But this game is very very unstable. I get a crash or a memory error that causes it to jerk unplayable about every 20 minutes.

Change a map, get a crash, start a fight get the memory error, sleep, get a crash. I save after every single encounter or after 3 move clicks on a map.

:dead:

everytime i enter hte deep swamp map my game crashes...sigh...I did the spider, went to bum king's place, went to lizard men, was going to do deep swamp before dragon..guess i will see if i can do dragon now and then harpies then go back to deep swamp.

 

If I have a save that produces ctd's when I go from the marketplace into a bldg, but not if I go to the swamp, should I delete it as unsalvageable. Or will it eventually clear up?

Is the only strategy to fall back to a clean earlier save?

Will reinstalling help?

Are there any other strategies, superstitions, etc?

The game is presently unplayable. After 4 games, I've rarely gotten much past the first promotion.

 

here be spoliers .....

after pouring the holy water on the shrine, nothing happens. the druids act as if nothing has happened and don't attack. when i go talk to the lady i get the "i was attacked my undead" line, but that didn't happen. if i hand over the holy water instead of pouring it out the lady gets mad and attacks, but the quest is left unfinished (blue). is it supposed to be this way or am i missing something?

 

like i said, if you use the potion the druids don't attack. if you give them the vial she attacks you and that's it.

 

Re: Official KotB Demo Bug List

One CTD so far -

Seven party members incl. Two Blades, Brother fist, Kerrac.
Finally figured out how to click on the postings board in the provisioners
took two quests, the "find the lost adventurers in the swamp" and one other one, can't remember what it is right this instant.

Got to the swamp (which looks strangely familiar ;> ), killed the lizardmen (NICE setup!!!), rested two or three times (got hit by some wandering critters but survived), decided I was too beat up to continue, went back to town (marketplace), avoiding 5 hobgoblins along the way entered the inn, CTD. reloaded, back to marketplace, entered inn, CTD. No error msgs, nothing.

 

On my 5th try, I'm now past third level. I've gotten one ctd, and it was easily fixable by going back to a previous save. I was beginning to get worried.

I'm third level, Billy is there, but his fan club is not. Is this a bug, or has the scenario been changed? TRC mntioned it, but I find myself still wonderfully informed. :twitch:
