Crash when examining any creature

Issue #221 duplicate
bork created an issue

When examining ANY creature the game will crash. Playing on the latest version, recreated the issue with two saves, so I'm assuming this is global for all characters.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, you need to provide further detail. As it stands, your report will be closed as not reproducible - please reopen it and address the following if you have time.

    1) What does crash mean? Does it mean the red error dialog will come up with a message? Does it mean the game will immediately exit? The latter is what it normally means, and if it does so, it will drop a minidump - can you compress that with 7zip and add it? 2) When I examine ANY creature, it gave me a description. No error or crash whatsoever.

    Please clarify exactly what you mean, so I can fix this. Thanks again!

    My bad for not clarifying enough, not really experienced in doing this kind of stuff.

    The game closes immediately without any sort of warning or error.

    EDIT: Another fresh re-install didn't change anything. I was playing the game through dropbox due to having multiple computers, so I moved the folder over to my desktop, but it didn't fix anything. I could pin a savefile to see if that reproduces the issue for you but, again, the issue was present with every character.

    You're playing in a directory named 0.6.9Y13 according to the minidump. Update to 0.6.9Y17?

    I have, the directory is just named like that because I replace the files inside and keep the name as it is.

    I'm not able to use your minidump because I forgot to keep the data for the v0.6.9Y17 release. I'm still unable to reproduce the problem.

    To be clear, you reproduce it using the following steps:

    1. Enter within view of a creature, e.g. a human zombie.
    2. Select 'y', then checking it is the right key, select examine which starts off as 'v'.
    3. Move the cursor keys until the cursor is over the zombie.
    4. Hit enter.
    5. Crash?

    That's strange, I never actually used that method.

    Selecting examine through the y menu and pressing enter on any creature does nothing, it simply dismisses the command. All that happens is that the red "What do you want to examine?" text in the top left corner disappears and I can go back to playing. No crash or anything.

    The way I usually examined creatures however is by using the look command (L) and pressing X while focused on one. EDIT: Items and corpses don't cause my game to crash. I still can't inspect them through the Y menu, though.

    Ah, well, now you see how bug reporting goes -- nothing can be taken for granted, and no level of detail is too much :-)
