Bug: Hard Freeze when Selling


Recommended Posts

Loving the game, but have had this happen twice now:

 

While in sale dialog, when clicking on a saleable item, the game has FROZEN my computer. Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work; I have to do a hard reboot. This has happened while selling in Dunvo (after the Bandit quest) and Silvar (after the sewer quest).

 

I'm running Windows 7 (I think 64 bit, but not sure on that one) off the Avernum disc install. I own but haven't tried the Steam version. I'm running the game in windowed mode.

 

I'm so sad this happens because it's a real booger to have to restart the computer after a hard reset like this; everything complains about not being shut down properly. My computer has sufficient resources for almost anything (a nicely dolled-up Alienware machine), so I'm not sure what's causing this.

 

Thanks!

I haven't heard of anyone having this bug before -- it must be related to some unusual combination of your hardware and system configuration. As a workaround, you could try putting everything you want to sell in your junk bag before selling it. Even if this still risks a crash, at least it means you're only clicking and taking the risk once per shop visit.

 

If that doesn't help... try running the game in full screen mode and see if it still happens? I dunno.

Yeah, in the upper right corner, just below where your junk bag is displayed, you can click on "Sell All In Bag" to sell everything in the junk bag at once. You can move items from your inventory to your junk bag at any time by, uh, Ctrl-clicking on them, I think? It's been a while.

It's definitely Ctrl-clicking on the PC, yes. You can also just Ctrl-click on them when grabbing them from the floor to, to cut out the inventory completely. You'll get a message saying the item moved successfully.
