Hi, love the game, new to the forums, etc. On with the bug.
I actually only just got into adventurer mode for the first time a few days ago, and quickly got my ass handed to me. On my second run, I wandered into a town to look for recruits and everything was progressing as normal when night fell and all hell broke loose.
Every living thing in town, the peasants, the children, the animals, the drunk I had just recruited, the mayor, and even the guards, suddenly fell down and gave into pain. Almost all of them died within 5 steps or so. As I walked around, I was constantly assaulted by messages of "You are freezing!", and when I checked the temperature it was "deathly cold". I finally gave in and wandered into a shop to sleep on the floor. I was interrupted in my sleep a split second later to find myself bleeding critically, winded, and in pain. I died after two steps.
On my third run, I got slaughtered by a horde of undead in some desert ruins, shortly after which night fell and everything there froze to death in very short order too, including the skeletal pikemaster I was supposed to kill. Of note is that everyone in the village bled to death, while the skeletons and zombies froze to death, presumably because they can't bleed/don't need blood.
This doesn't always happen, though, I've visited several other places during the night and not had any problems, and even when I entered one town during a snowstorm nobody was affected. I think the trigger is in the day-to-night change while not on the map.
Sounds a bit like bug 262, only not, so I'm curious.
