Monsters Keep Crashing Game

Post by Kriema » Thu Mar 08, 2018 1:03 am

Like the title says, monsters keep crashing my game! I've only just started off, but whenever I get on the same screen with the Archive Imps in the place under the temple my game crashes. I can't log back on without crashing until my party clears them out. Is there any reason this should be happening? I've set my graphic settings to the lowest I can, turned off shiny water and made sure my drivers are all updated.

I could use the help, it's really making it hard to play.

Do you have anything wonky in your override folder?

Yea, I'd suggest clearing out your override folder to see if that prevents the crash.

I cleared out my override folder entirely. I only had some portrait stuff in it. I just went and crashed again in the archives, and now I'm stuck there entirely until the monsters despawn.

Edit: If it helps at all, it's always in the big room with the book cases in the back where I crash. Whatever monster spawns in there is crashing me, mostly.

It might be a corrupted file in your main install then. The opposite approach of figuring out which models those imps use and adding a mod version of the imp into your override folder might work. If not, you might need to do a fresh install.

Does anyone know what those might be? I don't mind fixing up every monster model in the game if it'll help, but reinstalling is a little beyond me right now. The games are on a physical disc and I don't have a disc drive currently.


Edit: I think it's something the imps are doing. Or maybe off-screen archive spiders. I'm not 100% sure. But just seeing the imps doesn't always cause a crash.

Likely a corrupt file, a bit-flip would do it and those happen.

I'd just re-install if you know your hak/overrides are NOT causing it.
