[40d14] Cant Exit after Dying in Adventure mode
« on: August 24, 2009, 07:27:25 pm »

Whenever I play adventure mode and die, the game wont let me exit. Escape does nothing, and its not like its frozen because stuff is still flashing, its just escape doesnt respond. Escape responds in all other cases except when I die in adventure mode.

Yeah, this is one of the known issues for 40d14.  It's being worked on.

I've actually heard that after a long time - think 1-3 minutes - it actually will exit, but it's extremely unresponsive at the moment.

It's still a bug though, and it is already known. So just buckle up for 40d15 or the like, and until then just use older versions.

There really isn't much else to say.

Might have to wait a bit longer, as it's still present in 40d16.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

I also have this (40d16).  The game seems to keep on running as if you were holding down the "wait a step" button.

Partial workaround: DO NOT hit space to clear the "you have been struck down" message and whatever horrible things came before it. If you hit escape with the messages still up you can exit normally, and your hero can be forever remembered in the legends screen.

Confirming Todestool's report, as well as the workaround.
