The Marsh Part Two CTD

[Blips150]

When I pass the bridge before the boss, the game CTDs, I have 1.3 installed and all.

The large mosquito boss? What skill level? What operating system? What version of Daikatana v1.3? What video card etc.

[Blips150]

Yes. It shows that my skill level is 0. Win10. The one that came out on 2 October. Radeon R9 270, i5-4670, 8GB RAM

I just tested on Windows 7 x64 (please specific x86 or x64) on hardest skill (2) and can't reproduce will try on easy skill. I don't have Windows 10 so I will have to have someone else test that part. Also, are you executing it from within Steam? Any kind of game overlay could be causing the issue as well.

[Blips150]

x86, sorry. Yeah, I'm using Steam, so I'll give it a try without the overlay.

[Frank Sapone]

I just tried it on easy and still worked just fine. When does it specifically crash? Does it crash every single time in the same spot? Does it happen from one play through (i.e. you start a new game, watch the cinematic, play from e1m1a to e1m1b without saving and exiting). Do you die and restart the game?

[Frank Sapone]

Any updates? Also when you try without steam, please launch just the binary, daikatana.exe. Do not launch it from within steam.

[Blips150]

Okay, so I turned off the Steam overlay, launched the binary and I successfully killed the mosquito boss. Thank you very much for your help!

[Blips150]

Tried it with overlay turned back on, seems to be working perfectly and smoothly.

[Frank Sapone]

OK. Glad to hear it's OK now. I've had similar problems with XP x64 (yeah really!) with Steam overlay and DK crashing. There is something the overlay does with certain configurations that corrupts DK's memory somehow and it probably will never be solved without assistance from Valve and I'm sure they have better things to do than support us. Since it was XP x64 specific I never mentioned it as I don't expect anyone but me to be testing on that platform.
