Getting a Fatal null error crashing the game. Makes it impossible to play.
« on: March 25, 2024, 09:42:16 PM »
Every time I play at least I am getting this bug and it crashes the game. Hoping this will be patched soon. It almost always happens after a recent fight and then my click on or shortly after clicking on a gate. I have the RC11 patch.
Fatal: null

Hi - sorry about the trouble! This looks like an issue with the save being started in the previous version of the game; unfortunately it's not save-compatible with the previous version. (Generally major releases aren't; I aimed for that with this one but a few issues like this one slipped through.)

So how does this remedy? Is there a way to fix it, or am I unable to play as this character going forward? Do I have to start over?

Yeah, unfortunately you have to start a new save (or go back to the previous version), sorry that I didn't make that clear.
