Shapeshifting Bug when loading games:

Post by BH4 »

I don't know how many of you have experienced this bug, but it's kinda aggravating at times.

When loading a game, sometimes what would happen is either the Avatar, or the whole party would shape-change, and their portraits would change along with them. Additionally, their health bar would be completely empty.

The first time this happened, all party members were transformed into the first entity in the Shapes file, which I think is a single, tiny square/tile of water. (Again, they had no health to speak of.) My party would just walk around as tiny organized puddles, speaking to people. I don't remember what their portrait was though.



Has anyone else ever experienced such a bug?

(Man, I wish there was an EDIT button in posts. -_-; )


My setup is a PII 300 MHZ 256 MB Ram, using EITHER the latest Exult, or the Snapshot version.

.... Eep. Um.. okay. I honestly have no idea how to do that, for two reasons. 1) I still have to read up on that submitting bug reports thread. 2) Which file is a saved game file? It's kinda odd, but I've been looking at almost all of the files except those files. O_o ... Thanks.
