Game crashing when moving from area

Post by jakob1978 »

Hi...been enjoying the game, but now i'm stuck in some caves. Every time I try to leave (by either exit) the game crashes with the error

EXCEPTION_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO

Hmmm... that's certainly new. Have you tried a different renderer and/or switching to fullscreen?

I'm curious, can you go out the way you came in? ie. the other end from where you were trying to leave? I don't recall this coming up in beta testing, but then I use a Mac. :) BW or PC testers will have to answer you. :(

There was a glitch entering those caves during a 2nd visit. My character appeared at the far exit instead of the main interior entrance. I recall it was fixed some weeks ago, so this may be unrelated, or it could be something local on your system. FWIW, if you reload the install, the saved games remain so you may want to try that. Hope that helps.

Can you send me your current saved game slot?

nope..i came in the lower right (through an electrified fence lol)...i've tried going back out that way and it's the same error.

I'll try reinstalling the game, and see if that works. :-)

slot 1 is the quicksave folder.

zip the folder the problem is in, even the quicksave if that is it and email it to BW. Don't send all the folders, just the one with the latest problem. At least thats what I did. :) during beta testing.

Oh! Your game crashed for me too!

That's a good thing. Means I can find the problem much quicker.

I'll let you know.

THIS IS FIXED.

A temporary fix for you is to remove your Zen Cloak, then exit the map.

The problem is that when wearing your Zen cloak, your Mana Point Recovery Rate is "1 point every 0 rounds". There is your "divide by zero" problem.

Other people who are seeing this error- you need to reduce your mana or hit point recovery rate so it is not 1 point every 0 rounds.

This is fixed in version 1.02. I should have this available in a couple days.
