[Windows] ( spell issue ) Central burst area effect spells don't work properly

Silvershadows

OS : Windows XP sp3

IWD EE version : 1.3.2058


Issue description :

Sometimes when I cast a " central burst area effect " spell ( like Confusion ) , it doesn't work .

I said " doesn't work " , it means I cast a spell amid the monsters ( they are all in aoe zone ), no one even makes a Save ( no feedback from the message window ) , the spell has no effect at all .


--- First , I think it is an old bug from original IWD , because only the IWD type spells have this problem , the Baldurized spells like Glitterdust work perfectly . This bug only happens on occasion .


--- Second , list of the problem spells ( I haven't had any chance to cast high level spells , so there maybe more )

- Wizard Spell :

2nd-level : Horror

3th-level : Slow , Hold Undead , Hold Person

4th-level : Emotion : Hopeless , Emotion : Fear , Greater Malison , Confusion

5th-level : Chaos , Hold Monster

- Priest Spell

2nd-level : Hold Person , Silence

5th-level : Greater Command

Ichthyic

confirmed that this happened with version 1.3058. will keep an eye out to see if it still happens in my 1.4 patched game.

very frustrating, often making me have to replay a battle 2 or even 3 times, because the spell didn't trigger.
