Hi Conjurer!
I think you may be able to get it to work by setting useDirect39Ex = false in templeplus.ini, if that file was created.
But, to be honest, WinXP is not something we plan to really support, since it is by now used by a very small percentage of PC gamers, and seems to be exponentially shrinking over time - sorry.
Hi, I'm the guy from the gog forums Windows 10 thread.
The last crash I experienced was in combat when one of my clerics attempted to heal my wizard.
I don't think I played since then, so here is my log
http://wikisend.com/download/404054/TemplePlus.log
Alright, I'm starting to suspect the root cause is actually a peculiar file handling glitch, since it also failed to find a certain python file (combat.py).
Please try the following build -
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/shartte/templeplus/build/0.1.0-pre+296/artifacts
And open the main to save a screenshot. This will generate a crash at first - this is intentional, since it now has more feedback on the exact cause of the crash, which should help confirm or deny my suspicion. Please post the log after that.
After that, you can again disable the screenshot crashes by setting
Code:
disableScreenshots = true
in templeplus.ini.
Haha, I know, it wasn't an easy decision. But going forward if we want to have proper high res UI, font rendering etc without paying for middleware or opening big sub-projects ourselves there's not much choice. On top of that according to steam stats XP players % went down by about 50% in the last two years, which I expect will continue on the same trend by this time next year, so it seems like a reasonable sacrifice to make. So yes, if you want a modernized ToEE you're going to have to upgrade...
So firstly, thank you all so much for your work on this project. I'm experiencing two bugs that seem potentially related to TemplePlus. The first: the throne that moves to give you access to Zuggtmoy's locked level isn't doing it. I have the golden skull, and have cleared all of the nodes, but instead of the throne moving, there are now two thrones, one in front of the other!
The other bug occurs randomly when I try to use my crafted wand of magic missiles. After I do, an enemy will "use an item" out of turn, my turn immediately ends, but the next person's turn never begins. At this point, I can move the mouse, but cannot access the menu or do anything else besides Alt-Tab out of the game and close TemplePlus manually.
I am running the 0.1.0-pre+275 and the CO8 8.1 NC on Windows 10.
Those do sound like new bugs, I'll look into them. Thanks, and welcome!
Meanwhile
Pugmeister is integrating a crash dumper so we can better diagnose your issue,
mushaden. It's a really perplexing situation!

The last build uploaded (
pre+302) will write a crash report (dump file) when it crashes. It will pop up a message like this:
Please download this build and send the
.dmp file it generates in your ToEE folder, along with the templeplus.log file.
