Is it possible to win the huge fight with yanos instead of being sent to sewers ? Difficulty is absurd there.Trying to do it , only way to get some success is to roll better initiative and use the confusion scroll, but thats not nearly enough.

Fuck. I started a new game because that battle crashed 5 times in a row after killing the main dude, and now it crashes every time I try to use skills with the locked chest or the puzzle door in that second room or go to the room where the ritual is happening and try to interact with that. If I do the puzzle door and go into that room, it crashes when I get close to the secret door. I really wish I knew a fix.

I have a hunch that the game requires some ancient and outdated libraries to function properly. I doubt Pierre would release a broken game after a month of pretending it was perfectly fine. It's more likely that he's never tested it on anything other than his weird-ass biopunk PC from hell.

Haha yeah, right ;)

What's weird is he must of imported all the KS email addresses shortly after the KS finished, but he can't automate the delivery of emails with a randomly generated password and a URL?

The latter isn't exactly difficult.

:what:

How is something that looks like this 600 mb? Knights of the Chalice was 8.

KOTC was full pixel-art. That takes very little space. The maps were tile-based as well.
This on the other hand has high-resolution images, which crappy as they are still take a lot of space.

I just got the mail too, I will probably wait only a few days before playing in case the early bug complains get addressed in the mean time.

So was anyone able to play for a good amount of time or is it in a bug-ridden limbo? How does it stack up to KotC? More of the same or ... well more "polished"?
It’s fairly buggy right now. I have had crashes in multiple places. I keep going into the Pool to try and kill everything in there (but I keep dying lol), and roughly 70% of the time, it crashes on loading the pool. It crashes fairly often on getting sent to the sewers, and crashed on me multiple times when transitioning from the first sewer section with the slimes to the second.

Quick loading sets my gold to 0. I wouldn't have noticed if It didn't cost a ton of gold to level up which is very weird, who the hell are you paying gold to level up in the middle of a dungeon?

I don't think there's any action left in the game that hasn't made the game crash at least once. Using spells, talking to dudes, using skills in dialogues, using items, moving outside of combat, killing a dude in combat, loading a map area, opening the help, and trading items have all caused crashes for me. About half of them were repeatable to the point I had to start a new game because I could no longer progress. I'm on my sixth new game already. Maybe it's the characters I made. I've used the same guys every time.

Has anybody managed to make any progress? If so, what OS are you using and did you have to do any kind of tweaks? I just got stumped again. I've heard something about sewers in this thread, but I can't even get that far. I tried running as administrator and a whole bunch of compatibility settings, but I've had no luck.

On the bright side, I've fucked with that portcullis at the beginning enough times that I finally failed the strength check, and you get to fight an extra centipede. That let my guys get to level 2 with just one fight and a bunch of skill usage.

Can anyone please run pngcrunch on similar on the assets, see if they're any wins. I can do it if anyone hooks me up with them.

Just to make sure, can someone try playing it on a Win95/98 VM? Maybe it'll be more stable if you play on what the developer used.

Also does anyone know if you can cast a Wand outside of combat? I can't seem to find a way, nor can I find a way to rest. No luck finding such things in the documentation either.

You have to equip the wand in the weapon slot. Then it shows up with the 'use item or ability' button. There are campfires later in the game for resting.
