hi folks
while i playing around with my old 0.94pre alpha exult, i came to a point
( monk Isle, just before picking then mandrake root for the spellbook)
with a bug. So i decided to change to the new 0.96 beta

this changes things drastically. According to the FAQ that one couldn't play with old savegames, i throw my old gamedat-directory away copied the new compiled exult to /usr/local/bin/exult
and started a new game.
exult -si
( I want to play especially Serpent Isle)
But i just hear and see the intro , get the Menu, and came just to the blue !!! screen ( I run Linux, so I hate especially bluescreens) and then the friendly cli told me :

werner@jufofun:~ > exult -si
Exult V0.96beta1.
Data path = /usr/local/share/exult
Internal cheapass forked timidity synthesiser
setting game directories to: /home/werner/serpentisle
Starting a SERPENT ISLE game
Creating new player thread
Creating 'gamedat' files.

Loading /exult_si.flx...
Loading default keybindings

Error reading saved monsters. Clearing list.

I tweak round and round in the exult.cfg and nothing changes

so could anyone help me please

thanks and good night
