Official KotB Demo Bug List

The game freezes when in the NE corner of the Northern ruins, quest given by the young druid just inside the main entrance. First it slows down considerably, the members of my party blink in and out, a grey shadow appears on the lower right corner briefly covering about 25% of the screen.

I will see if I can pin-point exactly where the slowdown starts.

 

Hi, hopefully this counts as a bug.

Im on my third attempt and I have received this error each time when I try to run the game from the KotBFE:

"0004: Error: One of the games folders cant be accessed! Make sure that no other application uses any of the game folders, then try again"

On the first two attemps, they were fresh installs + patch 2 installed, just as the instructions say. I do have .net ver 3 though. I also extract the mod to the root TOEE directory.

On the third attempt, I installed to a different computer that has the game installed and I have been using to play CO8 5.0. I did use the KotBFE, but the same error occurred when the module starts.

One other thing to note, in each instace after the error, the game starts. When creating a character though, I only have 37 portraits and if memory serves, they are the standard ones. The background music and the scrolling b&w pics are played. Also, the error does not occur when I run the mod again, but the portraits are still old.

Also, no other apps are running. I shut down spy and antivirus software. Only Nvidia desktop is in the system tray.

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

I just finished a new install after removing .net ver 3. I will try it with just ver 2.

If I am missing something simple, I apologize. I've read the instructions several times, but I wouldnt put it past me to miss a crucial line.

Thanks,
Yarazin

**Update

I tried again with .net ver 2, again with a fresh install + patch 2 and also the new KotB patch. Same issue, Im not sure what im doing wrong???

 

i read the plater guide to kotb...but i didnt notice anything about the shopmap.....when i loaded up i noticed the jade empress wasnt there only the traders...i had to console in a helm of teleportation just to get to the keep...iz this a bug?


i didnt realize the middle merchant had the option to go to the keep.....i never saw the dialogue......must have missed it im tired havent been to bed yet

 

Ummm the merchant in the middle should take you to the keep.
Perhaps Jade Empress should be added to provide a sort of a
link between ToEE and KotB as well as prevent people from having
such problems. I remember I was fooled once too back in the days
before the demo's beta.

 

2 CTDs so far.
The first was during a rest at the inn's top floor; I did 5 of 11 days first (to see if the WW inn upper floor half-time-heal was still in effect), when I did the next six, hello desktop!
The second was trying to enter the inn after finding (not exploring, too beat up) where the nest is, just after some sword polishing.

Pathing is odd; distances are limited to about the screen view as opposed to moving from one side of Hommlett to the other with one click.

I'm glad I read the manual, I would've been tempted by "finder's keepers"!

KotB is VERY impressive! Woo hoo!

I'm running a Dell Insp 9300 w/ the 256MB Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 and Win XP Home. TOEE was always fine except for the typical slowdowns, secret doors (occasionally), and random encounters spawning out of reach.

 

ToEE is known for it's poor pathfinding system, Agetian
already improved the nodes in the Keep map, so unfortunately
this issue is not (at least yet) fixable to a point where everyone
would be satisfied.

 

I get a CTD when I enter the Pub at Night. Daytime no problem. I have not picked up any npc in my party.

 

OK, you asked...

*************POSSIBLE SPOILERS*******************

The dialog with the hermit in the Northern Oaks Woods. Selection number two says;
[Roll on ground like a puppy to indicate you are now threat to him] Did you mean no threat to him?

FIXED.

Main Gate Town Map looks like a second floor interior room.

Young Black Dragons wings are not attached to his body, they are only partially showing. The wings appear invisible from the shoulder to the elbow.

Many items in the Lizardman Hunting Grounds show up while pressing the tab key, but are not lootable. I was able to pick the lock on a sunken chest but was not allowed to open it.

When enemies attack it shows the ai, an example...melee charge (22), this is pretty cool, but it also shows reverted, or default. Just thought I'd mention.

I really liked the way you've handled skinning prey.

The issue I reported in my first post seems to be affecting that specific party only, it was a party of characters from 5.0.0 and I think one of them had the newer sound set.

I have been running a completely new party, created in the KotB game, and have not been able to reproduce the problem. What's worse I read the manual TWICE! D'uoh.

Great job you guys! and Gal! :dance:

 

Spoilers Possible!

AI issue? -After conversing with the boss in the Th___, the two guards at my back never attacked. They were going to let me pass back outside, but I was feeling frisky.
