it seems that some times ZC will crash early on and other times really late. there is no difference in the area's i visit in the quest. i just keep heading in circles trying to work my way through the damn dungeons.
i am pretty certain that dungeon 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 DON'T have enemies holding a item but the item is invisible or whatever that crash bug is.
i say its random because it happens randomly oO, at least one time was after i exited the first dungeon and tried the map with spacebar... i haven't tried the map since then... so its not related to that directly i think. another was in dungeon 5...
another was just turbo'ing through the main hall in Castle Haunt II straight up to the healing fairy and back down.
Investigate the map thing though. A while back I reported a bug when viewing the map would crash ZC for me when playing this quest, but the bug mysteriously stopped happening. I wonder if there is more to it.
well... I am RMA'ing my motherboard tomorrow (taking it out of my pc today) and hopefully they will replace it...
DD, you know the focus issue with allegro? where it can potentially crash when switching from/to allegro based applications? does this affect only fullscreen and does the crash usually occur while switching to/from the program or does it rash at a random moment later on after you switched focus?

It applied to windowed mode, at least. The bug was that ZQuest would crash immediately when you switched back into it. I do not know if it applied to fullscreen.

this is what i talk about.
That bug's still there. But it only comes into play if you try to change the video mode ZC is running in - by toggling windowed/full screen, or quitting.
What's the word on this bug? Random crashes are very bad, but I played through the first dungeon of Heavens without noticing anything amiss.
No response. Moving to Limbo.

complete dungeon one and dungeon 2 and find all the secrets on the overworld, get the blue armor, the book, all money secrets, heart container secrets, boots, super bomb, then head from dungeon 1 downwards and it er crashed on me...
note: get the boots and super bomb before beating the first and second dungeon and beat the dungeons in order and stuff then go back and try to reach the super bomb screen. use the turbo key every so often too >:P
perhaps the crashes are related to this? i've currently got a dodge network connection which causes it to pop up a message every so often saying the networks gone then the network comes back immediately... it then shows another message saying so.

confirmed by Sam Atoms and elise. #46 & #45
It is confirmed in the sense that there is indeed something that is causing pseudo/true random crashing.
Every once in a while it would crash for me on screen init moving between screens in ZC...But I had ffc scripts on those screens so I thought that was the cause, plus I haven't had any crashes like this in a while. Is this similar to what you're reporting? I don't toggle the video mode at all so maybe that's what's going on with the crashes everyone is having...?
No video mode switches occur ever, just scrolling between screens causes it to occur after A undefined time on said screen. Like you can scroll to the right then walk around for X amount of seconds then the game just crashes with the standard windows exception handler (program caused an illegal operation blah). It is random because it can occur on a screen but then it will not occur again on that screen when you restart ZC.
I first encountered this in Pineconns Link To The Heavens and even made A post in his thread about it, confirming that the "enemies carry item" rule was not enabled on the screen.
this "search" function is useful 😊
here is the discussion in Link To The Heavens thread. http://www.armageddongames.net/forums/#post1157319&highlight=Crash#post1157319
Is it still happening? Is there a particular room that this happens on more frequently than others?
Let me test... If i no longer experience the crash then i could say it is related to video drivers. I have switched to the Nvide Omega drivers for my 8800gt. (169.21)
