Tenderfoot Thahd efertik Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hello everyone. I have been playing Avernum: Escape from the pit on my Nexus 7. I've played the whole game through at least once. However, just recently I was replaying Avernum when without warning all items in containers - in the entire game - vanished. I tried loaded saved games, but that didn't help. I deleted and reinstalled Avernum, and started a new game. That seemed to work for a while, but then the bug showed up again. I have tried using old game files, and in some saved games the items are there, but no matter what they do the items eventually disappear. Can anyone help? It is very frustrating to have to start again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I haven't seen that bug be so persistent. Usually if you can find a game from before the problem occurred or start a new game it is no longer there. The problem is usually file corruption of the save game and only affects new containers starting with the zone that it first occurs in and not older areas. This version was done by the Apportable Team and you can contact them at support@apportable.com. They might have seen the bug during their testing. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. Or anything left after this bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 its perisistent cause only some encounter it so its not easy to reproduce I think and I remember vaguely that some1 reported it in Avadon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd efertik Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Now, to make matters even more frustrating, the same bug has appeared in Avadon, which is also installed on the my Nexus 7. Again, when I go back to earlier saves, the bug still shows up after a certain amount of time. I would grit my teeth and reinstall Avadon, but I tried that with Avernum and it did not work (the bug showed up again after playing for several days.) I really love Spiderweb Software games ( and I wish more were available on Android), but the persistence of this bug makes the games essentially unplayable. Does anyone have any advice/help?

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 not really since JV hasn't been able to squash it and it has existed since Avernum 1 (maybe even since Exile). efertik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 not really since JV hasn't been able to squash it and it has existed since Avernum 1 (maybe even since Exile). It did not exist in Avernum 1 or any of the games that use that engine. This bug is peculiar to the engine that Geneforge, Avadon and the later Avernum games use.
