"Alright, entering the Vaults while invulnerable! Let's see what loot I'll ge-"

Just a bunch of common weapons and some rockets.

Vaults, I am disappointed.

[Ampersand]

When I extract the latest version of DoomRL, and try to open the game folder, my computer immediately crashes with a blue screen, proclaiming Page fault in non-paged area. This happens every single time, without fail. I never have this crash at any other time. The cause is directly related to the game folder.

[Tarran]

Just tried the Assault rifle and... wow, it's wiping the floor with my enemies. Not something I'd take into the late game, but for the early game it's a definite winner for a must-have weapon.

Now, I've got a Plasma Rifle and some bulk mods. Now I just need Ammochain and a power mod and I'll be ripping through my enemies faster than they can say "Oh crap!".

Also, I've noticed a LOT of good assemblies need a Nano pack. That's unfortunate since those are rare.

I think it would be better to ask either on the game's official forums or a tech forum, not here. Maybe delete and re-download?

Yeah, probably. Also, done that like five times.

OS?

Windos 7 x86

On another board , not game related, i remember having read that window 7 is very very annoying with the location of software directories and that often to get something to work correctly it was a good idea to put/install the software in the C:\ (or D:\ or whatever letter is your hard drive)

Try to put the "doomrl-win-0992" game folder directly into your C:\  so you obtain
C:\doomrl-win-0992\

launch doomrl.exe from there.

After a while...

I prefer the Assault Rifle to a High Power Plasma Rifle. Everything hits, and you need to get Eagle Eye to hit anything with the plasma rifle.

No thanks. Given that just having the folder around on my computer at all is enough to get the crash after some time, I'd rather not have it in a place that I can't immediately delete it when I start my computer up.

No, you don't need Eagle Eye, you can just add some agility mods. Besides, the HP Plasma Rifle (or any other High Powered weapons) have one mod extension slot according to the wiki, so you can add a Agility mod to it or if you're lucky, a sniper mod. With 2 agility mods the Plasma Rifle seems to hit just fine. I'd prefer the Plasma Rifle's better damage any day for the late game, since you'll be running into a lot of high HP and armored enemies.

Maybe this is relevant?

Edit: I just got a Mancubus on level 13. In a maze level. And I don't have Ammochain or a Acurracy modded Plasma Rifle yet. SON OF A GUN. Oh well, I killed it. But it got really, really close to killing me on it's first shot.

Edit2: The Assault and an unmodded Plasma are about as effective with a TH1 against barons, though the Plasma Rifle missed more. I think the plasma would preform much better with agility mods, so I'm going with a HP Plasma. Though I have to hand it to the Assault Rifle; it's got a nice fire rate.

Edit3: Juuussst realized I forgot the Missile Launcher on The wall, even though I got the backpack... Argh.

Edit4: AAAARRRGGGHHHH FREAKING HELL LEVELS FILLED WITH MAGMA BARRELS AAARRRGGGHHH I HATE YOU CACODEMON YOU RUINED MY ARMOR AND DESTROYED ANOTHER.

Edit5: My god, I had a really, REALLY close call in The Vaults: No med packs, no phases left, 6 HP and a damaged blue armor that only gives 1 protection, and I had to kill 3, count them, 3 more Mancubi. Holy crap. Anyway, Phaseshift boots and a worthless Jackhammer were my rewards.

Edit6: Dammit. Ninja Arachnotron killed me. Oh, and by the way, all those Os in the room above are Nightmare Cacodemons. Goddamn they hurt. Killed one but when I saw the who damn room was filled with them... I just closed the door and prayed that they wouldn't get out.

Maybe this is relevant?

Not even remotely. No new hardware, everything else works perfectly fine. Just not opening the DoomRL folder.

[Robsoie]

Quickly looking on the internet, it seems there are a lot of possible reasons for that error message, not making the identification of what create it easy.
 
It is possible that the files inside the folder are on a corrupted sector of the harddrive, it could explain why the OS is unable to display them when you open the folder and get into a BSOD.

But as you said you deleted folder, redownloaded doomrl and re-extracted it why would then the extracted file re-install themselves on a corrupted sector, it would be really strange, especially if you do not see such message for any other folder in your hardrive.
I'm puzzled there.

[beorn080]

If that's all he did, with minimal other data changes, it might not do anything. Would have to analyze the hard drive, or maybe run a defrag and see if that finds anything, though its possible a defrag might try to shove data on the dead sectors.

[Duke 2.0]

 Using the staff to open the vaults seems like a waste. I bet other special stages have better uses of it. I should go through a Melee run again to see how well it works at the Unholy Cathedral.

[BishopX]

If it hits every enemy in LOS it might be fun to use in the spiders lair... or the city of skulls...

[Duke 2.0]

 I'm thinking more special uses for it like the Vaults. I mean, that much work of going through the Arena and Chained Court just to enter an area a bit more easily that doesn't even guarantee anything terribly interesting anyway? Blerg.
