Bugfix 1.6.2 is out

[Dave]

Bug fix 1.6.2 is out! (the second bug fix release for the 1.6.x version)

Fixed in this release:
-Better consistency registering clicks in menus
-Able to actually select all of the different colors in the Misc Options/Font options menus
-Shouldn't have strange campaign reloading issues when you reload an earlier campaign, and then try to restart the book you are on.
-Now you can only use one CS-enhancing substance before a fight (Can't believe this one went un-caught for so long!)
-Also fixed the Combat Skill figuring routine in combat to correctly deal with temporary bonuses/protections from Kai Disciplines (e.g. Huntmastery bonus for 2 rounds)
-Generic medals in Awards page of Action chart now show properly. (Like Guardian of Taunor Castle)
- Hitting cancel when lowering initial disciplines no longer automatically lowers them all the way, but leaves them where they were.
- Changed "I Agree" to "Accept" in the intital notice screen, since the button that must be clicked in the License section really says "Accept".

Added in this release:
-Option to choose which weapon you are selling, if you have more than one of the same type. (e.g. If you have Bow and Silver Bow, you can choose to sell the ordinary bow, instead of trusting to chance that it will sell the right one!)

(I'm just taking over this thread for the 1.6.2 announcement, since there are no replies or anything yet....)

The 1st bug fix is out for 1.6.x. (Yes, the very next day!)

Fixed in this release:
-No more Archery contest freeze/infinite loop
-No more crashing when opening the Profiles page (only crashed in certain situations)
-various small section text fixes

Updates are available for both the regular Windows installation and the Stand-Alone version.

Just a note to let everyone know the 1.6.2 bugfix is out.

Does this stop the strange 'next book' issue?

[Dave]

pi4t, if you're referring to your issue here, then I doubt it's fixed. I requested that you send me your profile folder contents (all .dat files), but you never responded, so I haven't been able to look into it. (I can't reproduce it on my own machine, but with your .dat files, I might be able to.)

Several hundred folks have downloaded the game, but only you and Topel have reported a crash, so it seems to be a very unusual thing (I hope!)

Please try the 1.6.2 release, and if it fixes your problem (I doubt it), then let me know! If not, would you please send me those files I mentioned (profiles.dat, resumeX.dat, and campaignX.dat)

One other thing to try, as well, is to start a new profile, play through a book, exit and restart the program. Choose your old profile, and try to resume it again. This probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.

I have the same problem as pi4t with the program crashing when I try to go from book 1 to book 2. I'll send you the relevant files. I downloaded the 1.6.2 full installer yesterday, so I guess 1.6.2 doesn't fix it.

[pi4t]

How can I attach files? Or would you prefer I emailed it to you? I'd need an email address for that.

[Dave]

Email them to [e-mail]. thanks!

[pi4t]

Sent. Took a while to get hold of them, Vista'd hidden them in some obscure place.

[Dave]

Would you mind telling me what place that was? It may have some direct bearing on the issue. I'm going to be doing some Vista tests on a VM today.

[Dave]

Okay, that crazy crashing bug is now history!

[pi4t]

Just in the 'compatability files' area, but my email system wouldn't find them for upload.

[Dave]

That's okay - it's a moot point now. In the future the files should not be relegated to a "compatibility" area (you should remove XP compatibility mode, if it's set), and you should no longer experience crashes between books. Let me know, of course, if you do!

[pi4t]

No, I got through to book 2
