Hey, just wanted to say you guys are amazing for actually working with the source code and releasing new versions

 

[Ninjerk]

Github is doing maintenance They know the ascendance of the River Folk is nigh.

 

[Tramboi]

Thank you mate, but we're only doing it for the glory, and the huge amounts of cash of our patreon.
Or maybe the game deserves it. Props to the devs, if they read this somehow !
I don't know about asfasdf and Fowyr who fixed some scripts but I'd gladly let them sell an updated edition of the game based on this work. I think the codex and felipepepe 's book made a niche audience out of this game.

More fixes here:

It seems saving/loading is finally stable enough to play again.

 

[Modron]

New saves do load fine now.


Still get the occasional crash when selecting a fast travel location and clicking no as one would want to do when setting a compass marker.

 

[Tramboi]

Oh great, the reporting works
To clarify, it probably won't allow us to fix it directly, but we know where it is fishy, we can add tentative fixes, more reporting and so on.

Edit: well, it will be fixed in 2.05

 

[asfasdf]

v2.05 is out:

https://gitlab.com/ptd3/ptd-1/-/releases/2.05

Keyboard/Mouse should handle better now.

 

[Darth Canoli]

Yep that's the idea, though your old saves might have previous bugs embedded in themselves.

Old vanilla saves or are saves from your previous fix going to be problematic as well?
So many fixes I get to skip, seems like I dodged a bullet here.

 

[asfasdf]

Some old saves seem to be lacking some game variables like party reputation.

Still don't know if you're talking about post patch saves or old vanilla ones or both.

Also, what's that pdb file? Should I put it in the main folder with the rest?

 

[asfasdf]

I am not sure which saves from which versions had these issues, but I have seen it.

Put the .pdb where you extracted the .exe, it helps with stack traces.

 

[Tramboi]

We don't really know TBH, if you load a save and it crashes, we can have a look. If it silently corrupts a game aspect, it will be much harder

 

[Modron]

Not sure what caused this crash was going to cast a spell and as I hit the bottom of the screen to select cast it crashed:

 

[Tramboi]

Thanks !
It should be fixed (or at least a very similar bug :D) in 2.06

 

[asfasdf]

2.06 with a few more fixes, hopefully this ui problem is gone:

[Modron]

I got a crash when clicking the exit to a cavern in 2.06 64 bit which produced two sequential error message neither which mentioned a core dump:

A new one \o/
Does it happen every time you try it ?
If so I'd be interested in your save file

(I found a few bugs and made tentative fixes for the next version)

 

[Modron]

It did happen twice reloaded outside of cave and did the segment again and it worked fine, unfortunately I did quick save over it sorry. The only thing that I did that might have triggered it was I dismissed a character from within the cave to make room for the cave's occupant to join my party. I suppose I can march back to there and test if I can replicate it.

Edit: Not that it is needed, but I was able to replicate the crash by dismissing a character inside the cave and trying to exit afterward.

 

[Tramboi]

I think I got it then (it's a bug that depend on random rolls), don't bother ! Thank you again

 

[Modron]

Everyonce in a while I just get a hang on combat starting, standard program isn't responding and have to close it affair. More often when starting combat really spread apart and there is a popup saying something like "The party gathers for combat" with an ok button to confirm which when clicked begins the combat and said hangs.

No error messages or dumps.

Ok when it's stuck, go to the Windows task manager, "More details", and right-click on the process.
You should be given the opportunity to create a dump. Send it to us

 

[Modron]

Just encountered Malornian and his Earth Golem random encounter, upon killing them I did not receive the Golem Thaumaturgy spell. At least I didn't get any text in the box saying I did so nor golem in my spellbook. Granted I don't have anyone particularly high in thaumaturgy in my group as I've been trying to raise the stats of one of my npc to meet the min requirements of learning the skill before I proceed through the academy questline since that is like ~35 mostly free skill points.

Edit: 2.06 64 bit, got a crash on a random encounter no core dump produced (the one with lupins picking at the remains of a body if it matters).

 

[Tramboi]

Ok that's a script bug, I'll need to setup dedicated debugging tools for this one

 

[Modron]

Maybe not a bug so much as developer oversight but if a trainer/library book brings you to or past the threshold for skill unlocks (30/50) you don't get those attributes (maybe the same goes for weapon skill attacks I don't know).

 

[asfasdf]

We are now catching bugs in the event script it seems. events.txt is now bundled in the 2.07, so make sure to extract it in the game folder as well:

https://gitlab.com/ptd3/ptd-1/-/releases/2.07

As a side note, we are now forcing events reload on start, so you might notice some 2-3 sec delay in the intro screen.
