I just found this forum and have been playing ToEE for about 6 months. I am realizing that despite the bugs, this truly is a great game, as I discover new things every time I play it. I have patch 3 from Atari, along with the Co8 patch and also the Moebius patch. No real blocking problems yet, but I did notice when exploring on the south side of the Water node, there is a peninsula of ice with a couple bandits and a tent on it. When I initiate combat, and it is a bandit's turn, the game crashes. This consistently happens to me. Has anyone encountered this, and is there a patch available to fix it? Thanks!
Patch 3 is evil. If you are using it, then to be honest there are unlikely to be any bug fixes as all the current work has been on the basis of patch 1 and patch 2. IIRC Lord Spike reported similar problems on the Atari forums some time ago - I believe he was also using patch 3 at the time (he has a masochistic streak ). Patch 3 just seems to fix the looting bug (which Moebius fixed any way) but may add even more bugs.
Known bug . . . was actually fixed in a later version of moebius. Make sure you have the latest version. Go to the downloads section to get the latest version of everything you need. And DON'T use Atari 3.
What they said. The bug is specifically caused by the bandits trying to drink bugged potions: kill em all before they can move, pick their pockets, or patch properly.
