Possible "Alwarren bug" solution.
Posted: Wed May 02, 2007 5:03 pm
Greetings,
I had a Drakan save game which consistently crashed when transversing between Alwarren and the Islands level. I found that unchecking "Always Freelook With Rynn" in the Options->Controls section before transversing allowed the level to load. I tested it a several times, and the results seem consistent.
I accidentally overwrote that save game (quicksave), however I did load the Islands level from developer mode, and played it to Alwarren, and back. There was no crash when I exited Alwarren in that game (perhaps I had skipped doing too many things), however after playing the Islands level a little more and attempting to re-enter Alwarren, I now get a consistent crash. I tested several more times both with "Always Freelook With Rynn" activated and deactivated. The results were a consistent crash with "Always Freelook With Rynn" activated, and successful transversal with it deactivated (it did not crash once).
I am unsure if this is already known, as I did not find such a solution - the best I could find was here: http://www.planetdrakan.com/gibletclub/ ... sttips.htm
If this works as consistently in other players' games that exhibit the crash, then perhaps this could be a solution to this bug.
