Problem:
Whenever I right-click a location marker on the local area map, the game crashes.

Reproduction steps:
1. Open Area Map ("M" key)
2. Right-click any location marker
3. Crash

Expected Behavior:
1. Open Area Map ("M" key)
2. Right-click any location marker
3. Pop-up window which gives the options to rename the marker and change its color.

    When I use the map (changing the colors of the tiles, changing the names or adding a tile) the game crashes.

    Which area are you in?

    I tried to reproduce this in Candlekeep and don't have a problem.

    Probably better if you guys post more detailed info of your computer specs.

    Are you playing single player or multi?
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    And can you guys create map markers or just right-clicking on the mini-map already make the game crash?
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    Never mind, I just managed to reproduce this.

    Didn't realize that it only happens when you use the hotkey to access the map.

    False. It also happens when I open the map screen with a mouse click.
    It happens both in full-screen and windowed mode.

    Same error happens when I attempt to create a new map marker. The editor window pops up for a second followed by this error:

    Sorry, it's in German.

    It does not happen every time, but it happens a lot.

    EDIT: Oh yes, I'm playing single player.

    I don't know about the hotkey thing, but I've reproduced it simply by pushing the map button. For me though, the crash only occurs when I attempt to type something. Otherwise, I can bring up the point editor/creator, and even delete current ones, but typing something is a big no-no. Instant crash every time.

    Specs:
    OS: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 64 bit
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU - T6600 @ 2.20 GHz
    Memory: 4.00 GB RAM
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M

    Ok, I removed the stuff that I edited in the title and opening post.

    Not sure why I only get it when I access the map screen with the hotkey.

    I managed to reproduce this in German. Crash is only when I don't click on a marker.

    It happens to me in single-player, not tested multi-player. Happens whether I open the map with hot-key or map button.

    Happens when selecting an existing point on the map with a right-click, or when after setting a new right click point if I try to chance the colour of the diamond.

    Edit: This now also happens when I try to set a new point in Candlekeep, however this bug does not seem to affect Winthrop's Inn - Interior (Though that has it's own bug).

    @Coriander

    The crash happens in the English version too, I can reproduce it by going into the map screen using the hotkey first.

    I'm on a Portuguese keyboard if that matters.

    If you open your map, then click a point to enter, as soon as you start to enter text, any letter, the game crashes.
    You can change the colour of the gem, and click in the text box again, but as soon as you hit a key to enter text, the game freezes then crashes, exiting out to desktop.
    If you need more info, I can try to provide it.

    Current Behavior
    If you open the overland map while outdoors in Candlekeep, you will see some location icons. These icons may be selected with a right mouse click. Doing so will cause the game to freeze.

    Expected Behavior
    I don't think these icons should be clickable or at worst, do nothing when clicked.

    I have exact the same issue if i try to make a custom landmark on the map. -PC Version (Win7 64bit/ATI Radeon HD5700)

    If i right click a map marker that is preloaded into the game (like a shop for example) it will crash the game

    Issue seems to appear randomly. Some time it works just fine and some times it crash the game.

    Expected Behavior:

    Right-clicking on the map should allow me to create a custom map point.

    Observed Behavior:

    I can choose the color of the map point I want, and the cursor appears to type in a custom name, however the game freezes at that point, then crashes.

    EDIT: Ignore this, found another thread about it and I don’t know how to delete. :)

    I attempted to set a waypoint in Beregost to note what houses I had looted. In doing so, the game crashed.
  • kostasmakrinoskostasmakrinos Member Posts: 42
    Happens to me too, not only in Beregost but in other areas as well.

    This is a bit of a weird one. Here are the steps to reproduce it:

    1. In the first area you're in once leaving Candlekeep, approach and recruit Montarron and Xzar. The dialogue option I picked was the one about meeting up with other people first, although I'm not sure if that matters.

    2. Immediately after, go to the map, r-click to add a map pin and the moment I try to name it, it causes a crash to desktop.

    This doesn't seem to happen if you save right after recruiting, load that, and THEN try to add a map pin.

    A fairly minor issue, sure, but it could be an underlying problem that manifests itself somewhere else, so it's probably worth bringing to *someone's* attention, and checking if it's not JUST me that's getting that.

    Bonus, unrelated tip: adding BG:EE to Steam (as a non-steam game) works but has issues with the overlay, specifically the interface doesn't update every frame, so the overlay leaves ghost images over it whenever you bring it up. Easily fixed by bringing up and then dismissing the options screen, but slightly annoying.

    Current behavior : the game crashes when typing the name of a new map marker.
    Expected behavior : the game allows for the adding of additional map markers

    Placing map pins causes crashes to desktop randomly here, too. No method to the madness whatsoever.

    Ah. Oh dear. I had hoped it wasn't quite as bad as that, but evidently not. Guess I'll lay off adding pins until they fix that. I wonder how they broke it. Or, more importantly, how they missed that it was broken...
