Never underestimate the power of shrinkage! I think I remember a tale of an intrepid adventurer name ... Castanza that dealt with the same issue, but I digress. See if you can get St Cuthburt to appear and see if you get any of the wonkyness I got. I would appreciate it if you could, I'm wondering if my install is a little off. Thanks.
The last few times I have fought Hedrack, neither Cuthbert nor Iuz showed before I slaughtered Hedrack and company. I always let Seneshock escape to get access to his market though.
When the H man gets low on HP he calls out to his God to save him. If you overpower him quickly he never gets the chance. Oh well, guess I'll have to try and figure it out another way, thanks anyway.
I'll make Cuthbert my next port of call. I have had problems with corrupted saves fortunatly I kept about ten on the go, as I had to delete 7 of them.
Finished off the Hendrick. Triggered Cuthbert, Iuz meeting. No strangness except Iuz only resurrected Hendrick and didn't raise the rest as zombies. Had a milli second of lag when scrolling to the room with the fungi and Hendrick's chests. Cleared out the fungi looted the chests.
Cleared out earth node, rescued the unfortunates. Once again a tiny bit of lag when scrolling alom=ng the bottom of the map. But again only just noticable.
All the nodes are clear. Water node was the hardest once again ice tyrants wiped out everyone but Ronald and my rogue. The Balor was suprisingly easy. Spugnor having been killed so many times attracts all the grief allowing my fighter useing scather to deliver a big payload of whoppage. No problems with lag.
Doing a tour of the sewers at the mo. No problems with lag or jerkstop but getting a few ctd s from over optimistic bg scrolling. After several attempts managed to kill the slavers, encountered a bug where I couldn't get the npcs raised or reincarnated. Bug didn't replicate itself so probably a one of. The re working of Verbonic is brilliant hats off to thr G man and ayone else who worked on it. My birthday was on the Fall equinox this year. The day where day and night are equal. Must account for my neutral leaning.
Applied the newest patch without thinking. Presumably I have to start a new game. Should I keep reporting on lag and jerkstop or hs this experiment run it's course?
You don't need to start a new game. You should continue reporting on lag and jerkstop until the end of time, though you don't have to always play lag and jerkstop search-themed games. Just play your game and report what you see.
