Just installed ToEE, using patch 2 and Co8 4 (Toffee version). Everything works fine until I reach the moathouse. I clear out the outside and top level, descend the stairs and kill all the zombies (except one that runs away towards that ogre), then go back upstairs to heal up and memorize spells. I save the game. Now the fun begins: Everytime I attempt to go back down the stairs, the game crashes to desktop with the usual rigamarole about sending error reports. I can go everywhere I want to except down those stairs to that particular level. I have to admit, that I'm quite miffed. Could my error be related to this one? IE, a corrupted save? Or have the gods of Greyhawk conspired to thwart my quest to rid the world of evil in a silly manner?
Probably a corrupt save, yeah. Try a different set of stairs. There are secret ones right next to the secret entrance into the moathouse (ie 'topmost' room where the bandits hang out, over to the right).
Did a full save, and yes, I tried the other stairs. No dice, the game still crashes. Oh well, It was less than an hour of gameplay, and I've gotten past that point anyway with my new party Anyhoo, thanks for confirming my suspicions.
