Exult Forum

With the latest win32 build running under Win98SE Exult crashes when I try to sleep, both in BG and SI. What happens is that I click on a bed or bedroll, I'm asked how many hours I want to sleep, the screen fades to black and then drops to the desktop. I thought at first it might be a corrupt saved game but I started a new game and got the same crash. Then I uninstalled Exult and U7. Reinstalled. Same crash.

I always had that problem in the original...

Confirmed. It seems we have a bug

Should be fixed now.

Cool. Gotta admit, though, it was a little surprising to see the news it was fixed on the front page.

Well, it was a rather serious bug

(I'm actually quite surprised nobody noticed it before.)

could you describe what was the pb ?

Artaxerxes

I didn't restore the Usecode Machine state properly after running usecode from an intrinsic. (In this case the 'nap_time' intrinsic.)

built exult two days ago from latest CVS and I get that very same crashing bug whilst in sleep. I have yet to build the latest so I'll see whether that works.
