Official KotB Demo Bug List

Yes, I did save during combat, it's too bad that that causes savegame corruptions. I tried not saving during combat and saved afterwards and everything was fine.

In the course of retesting this Florrin became hostile again, but this time in midcombat, that is, combat did not halt because I didn't use CS

 

Found some irritating bugs:

Whenever I load a game, melee weapons in hand have gone in the backpack... slings have the same problem, although the pouch of bullets is still in place. Crossbows on the other hand are nice & stable.

Whenever my Dwarven Fighter prepares himself to receive a charge, as soon as he has done the hitting part, he always flees to the west of the screen for roughly 20 to 30 ft.
That wouldn't be so bad if he would do that without provoking AoO's, but like always, the computer wins, the playercharacters loose...

When protecting the Hermit, I dealt out some nonlethal damage, so when the fight was over there was one bandit still alive, technically speaking. So I did the normal thing and "coup-de-grace"'d him...but suddenly the game stayed in combat mode. I had a charmed black bear with me , my PC's and 'Hawk', my Druids Wolf Animal Compagnon.


Far less irritating bugs:

Animals tend to do lots of nonlethal damage, with a 90% probability on the first hit. Was that intended?

I installed your latest patch before ever playing, did it all by the rules, and in the FE it says it has the 1.03 version, but when you really fire up the game it sticks with saying it's version 1...

I hope I'm not repeating things, since I didn't had the heart do read all those 15 pages...

Anyhow, thanks and good luck!

 

That was one of the bugs I was collecting: giant lizards that charge deal non lethal damage. Trip attacks also cause non lethal damage, Mountain Wolves do that.

Also you probably already know this, but some on some maps the day and night are offset from one another. For the outside keep map for instance. Just pass time to see.

Here's one I think hasn't been reported, very minor though:
if strength attribute-drain wears off from resting your encumbrance is not updated until you move an item around in your inv

Edit: just found, cat's at the start of maps, like swamp and northern oak woods, don't count as animals for cleric's charm animal. And when they attack they bark!

So I'll keep looking for bugs, and PS Shiningted could you read your PM from me? I forgot to ask for a read receipt.

 

Well, unfortunately this is the engine's bug, and hasn't been resolved yet.
No idea if it ever will.

 

I'm sure this is NOT the thread I should use to report this, except for the wierd dwarf thing.

In ToEE 5.05, w/Traders2, I summoned my Lamia (Lemur, Heh-heh!) before combat with the other fifth level adventurer party. During combat, she cast Charm Monster on the other party's Dwarven Fighter:

1. He stayed charmed long after I'd left the map.
a. He's included in the lineup as if summoned, operating independently.
b. If killed, body can't be gotten rid of or looted.

2. After combat is over, he suddenly picks a spot on the map and glides over there. He joins the party when we move, then returns to that spot after the party stops. It certainly is wierd.

Since it's in ToEE, not KotB, and it's a charmed NPC after combat rather than a PC in combat, it probably isn't connected. EXCEPT, no other non-dwarven NPC acquired this way engages in this behavior. I usually go back to a previous save if this happens, so I might not have had the others long enough. I'm going to keep this game long enough to learn Suggestion, to see what happens.

 

I've had two bugs that have been making me more than just a little nuts.

First, and this may not be a bug but just random chance, or me doing something wrong, or not doing something right: Flay. I've seen him once, the very first time I tried the game. Never again. I don't even remember where I originally saw him. Was it in the marketplace at night?

Second: Every, and I mean EVERY time I take on Billy the deranged archer, all door icons stop working almost immediately after I've taken him out, whether it's by nonlethal damage, killing him outright or Hold Person spell. I usually end up trapped in the top floor of the tower on my way back down to the Bailiff, sometimes out on the wall itself; I've never made it down to the tower's second level, much less the ground floor. This despite two complete reinstalls of the game.

 

Hi Grinner
Actually neither are bugs. Let me help you out.

Yeah, I guess you could call this one a Slight bug, because there is a workaround. If you move your "Pointman" (not your spokesman, just whichever PC is in front to the south of the stairs, and then have him or her "go downstairs" you should be able to get out of the tower. I hope this helps

Hi Ted
I usually have my spokesperson (usually a rogue or a bard) somewhere in the rear of
the party, so that he (or she) doesn't get clobbered in an ambush. I usually arrange my party's marching order so that there are 2 fighter types up front, the wizard is in the middle, and the cleric and the Rogue/Bard are in the rear at all times. What I meant in my previous post, is that if you leave your party by the door after returning from the wall, and then move a PC to somewhere just south (towards the bottom of the screen) of the stairs, and then have that PC use the stairs, you will be able to get your party back down the stairs.

I usually got off the wall by using the world map and clicking back to the keep.
