Hi,

Game crashes when mouse-clicking to skip death video after being killed by Demon Knight's fireball during Durlag's Tower tour. Tested on two computer configurations with the same result.

    Same issue for me, though I couldn't see the error box and had to ctrl+alt+del.

    This has happened once more in a similar situation, in another area of Durlag's Tower. If you're killed by the Fireball Room in the very beginning of Durlag's 3rd dungeon level - which I just had to test - the game crashes.

    Does the crash only occur when you're killed by the blast, or does it also crash when you survive?

    The crash only occurs if I'm killed by the blast, as it doesn't occur before I click on the death video to skip it.

    If I'm only damaged by the blast, and then later killed by something else, the crash doesn't occur.

    Does it only occur if you click through the video, or does it also occur if you let it play out?

    It also occurs if I let the video play out.

    I've recreated this crash several times now, and for some reason it does not occur if the rest of my party stands very far away from the blast. In this case I've had them standing in the southern end of the Dragon Skeleton Room on the 3rd level of Durlag's Dungeon, while my main character goes to die in the Fireball Room alone. Then the game does not crash.

    If you like I could test this with the rest of the party standing about in other corners of the dungeon.

    Here is one save from right before you encounter the Demon Knight on the main floor, and one save from right before the Fireball Room.

    Looks like this from an old 2014 save, yes? That could be part of the problem.

    Is anyone seeing this with a new game?

    @Dee I'm not.
    But with his save I do get the crash.

    @Dee I was quite sure I started this save after getting the beta, but I suppose it could be from an old 2014 save after all. Since @Balquo doesn't encounter the same crash I guess that is the most likely explanation.

    Imoen's purple garb gave it away. ;)

    Bugger. I suppose I should start paying attention to what she wears.
