Hi, I started a game some days ago and for a long time all went good, even kidnapping and interrogations. But now I have found a problem: every time I try to interrogate a kidnapped conservative the game crashes.
Here there is a screenshot: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/841/problemoz7.jpg

Is someone able to help me? Thank you very much!

There was a problem like this with spraying graffiti for a while.  I think it got fixed but please check the following two things:

1) you aren't ordering anyone to spray graffiti who doesn't have a spraycan
2) you are using the most up to date version.

I also could be file corruption.  You could download the game again.

[Yanlin]

Corruption is conservative. You must kill it.

1) you aren't ordering anyone to spray graffiti who doesn't have a spraycan

No, I'm not ordering anyone to spray graffiti who doesn't have a spraycan

2) you are using the most up to date version.

Yes, I am.

I also could be file corruption.  You could download the game again.

I tried to reload and to kidnap other hostage after make this escape but there is always the same problem, even with other hostages.

[mainiac]

By reload you mean re-download?

[Zarch]

Ehm no...with reload I mean load the game again, I'll try to redo the download.

[Zarch]

I tried to download the game again but the same problem happens...I don't understand...I have kidnapped and interrogated until now...but now, in this same game, I'm not able to interrogate any kidnapped person...

[mainiac]

Could be a problem with curses or your system.  Are you using an old version of windows?  Maybe you are the only one with the most recent version of vista?

[Jonathan S. Fox]

That's rather baffling. I can't see how you could get a vector subscript out of rage error in that part of the code; there's a lot of addressing vectors by subscript, but I'm pretty certain they're all in tightly controlled loops that prevent going out of range. Obviously you did get that problem, I just don't know how to fix it. Perhaps your best chance would be to try starting a new game and see if that works.

Alternatively, try interrogating with more than one person, or no people.

Edit 2: Okay, are you interrogating with someone that has higher wisdom than heart, and no psychology skill?

[Zarch]

Mhmhmh...I have just seen that the person who interrogate has Wisdom 17, Heart 4 and Psychology Skill 5.96/8 so I tried to use another Liberal and...all went good!

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Wow, that's a lot of Wisdom... how did you manage that?

Regardless, knowing that, I can fix the problem. Thanks!

[mainiac]

Seems to me he had a low skill interrogator go to town on an arch-conservative (agent maybe?)  Once the hostage develops enough of a bond, can't they flip even though their stats are still conservative?

Yeah, keep that guy away from debaters though!

[Jonathan S. Fox]

I guess, but the normal maximum base for all stats is 10... 17 is an immense amount, considering that Wisdom isn't modified by Juice!

[Neonivek]

Normal Maximum? Well then I guess it is time the Conservatives allow genetic manipulation!

Or would it be Liberal?

Steal the Serum from the science center and hope your characters don't mutate or die horribly.
-Which I believe has been suggested before... With the added event of most likely killing your characters or giving them horrible disabilities.

[Squeegy]

Fox, maybe you should have it so that if Wisdom > Heart, then the liberal turns conservative and runs away with the hostage?
