Hello Guys ,

Was reading the bugs section but could not find this game breaking bug.

!! SPOILERS !!
--------------------

After I battle all the undead heroes (with my allies ) but I did NOT fight Eric yet , I lost ALL my spells from the spellbook . I am a mage , around level 50 so it makes me unable to complete the story . I still have all the scrolls , I can transform them into spells with crystals but all my old spells are gone .
Trying to replace all my spells from scrolls would take a HUGE amount of time so I was wondering if there is a fix for this (or where are the entries for the spells , I know my way around editors and still remember some C++ )

Didn't read the entire thread, but I'm having major crashes on one of the dragon shops (where you fight dragons to get access to a shop). For some reason after the first round whenever I try damage the ice dragons (direct melee, rage or indirect / trap) the game crashes.
Seems to be monster related....
I hope a fix will follow.

I am trying to upgrade my silver ring to gold. But there are 2 stacks of ice dragons. One has 3 the other has 2. Whenever one of the stacks die the game immediately crashes... Bummer

Check the bugfix thread. This is a known issue with ice dragons, and has been fixed with a fan-mod .

@gamihai - are you using patched or unpatched version. Some people have problems using unpatched game + fixes (they are not compatible). Regardless, you'll have to share some ideas about what caused this problem to trigger. I'm sure nobody wants it to happen to them!

I hear you, it's long. Fortunately, you can use "search this thread" in the thread tools, or go to the first page and use Ctrl+F to find stuff. In any case, the ice dragon has an unofficial fix... see page 1.

Now units get stuck and it hangs too if you aren't careful

So, that's why. I think I only upgraded it once. Since the two fails, if I use that skill, I put the gold somewhere in the middle. Hasn't hung up any more but now that I know about the radius thing, I won't do that again. Thanks.

I only tried it in my battle where I could get it to repeat and it works great - thanks!

Great job with creating the new AI function - it looks like you based it off of the Thorn / Thorn Warrior Summon code and integrated it well into that part of the AI routine.

I see an AI mod in your future!

I tested it under a few different conditions locally and it worked fine, but secondary confirmation is always nice.

Hi ,

I am using the unpatched and not-modded version. I managed to work around all bugs so far without fixing anything and I did not patched because being a mage I use Book of Evil to get me out of some bad battles . Also when the patch got released I already played a lot so I don't want to restart this campaign .

The problem is caused by the battles with the undead lords that guard the main castle (where Eric is in front of them and you can only battle after you made all allies ).
When you do those battles you are fighting with the allies army and hero and you have different spells . After those 3 battles + you're battle with that necro undead lord , but before talking with Eric to battle him as well...I loose all spells . Only my scrolls remain. I only did this once as I am using quick save to prevent CTD pushbacks . I do have a save after this , where I did not yet battled Eric but I have no spells and I am on another island (I traveled thinking that I can shake the bug off if I go into another instance..no luck )

A thanks for that. I'm not too technical with all the forum inns & outs and I tend to read more than ever write (sorry). Anyway I followed the link posted on page one and put the "unofficial bugfix" zip file in the addon folder of steam and lo and behold: it worked! Ice dragons are now dying and the game is no longer crashing. Such a simple fix, I would've thought 1C would put out a quick patch.

Anyway thanks for the help much appreciated.
