Game crashing.
Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 9:45 am
Hello,
I recently purchased Loren The Amazon Princess for Mac OSX, and I ran through the first three chapters in roughly two days of intensive playing. Love the game so far, except that now, it crashes and causes a lot of problems.
Everything worked until I got the message that Chapter 4 was up ahead and that I had to complete other tasks before moving on. After that, the game crashed on multiple occasions, at various moments (twice it crashed when I went in Camp mode, the other time it happened when I entered the ruins in the upper left corner of the map). And it didn't only crashed, it actually froze my computer, forcing me to shut it off holding the I/O power button. Every time, it took multiple reboots to get the computer running again, a process that took well over 30 minutes each time, as the computer would freeze or crash again on boot. Third time required me to spend over an hour rebooting.
Any idea what could cause the problem? When I restarted my computer, other apps were stable and the computer never crashed. Now I'm afraid to play again in fear it will freeze my computer again and I won't be able to reboot. Too bad, for I was playing Elenor and was romancing every girl (with 5 hears) but Myrth.
...
Also worth mentioning, there is a bug issue with the Castle background image at the Citadel. The bug happens when the party returns for the first time to the Citadel after saving Karen and go to the castle to meet Mythr. There is no background, and instead a message saying "Image 'bg' can't take parameters 'castle int'. (Perhaps you got the name wrong?)" appears in red over a black background. This same bug also returns at the beginning of chapter 3.
The Castle background image displayed properly in previous scenes.
