Just upgraded from build 42 to build 43, and now the game crashes each time I take the stairs. Tested this with the new JYS hold and "Jobs Novice"...

[EDIT]

Nothing in the drod.err by the way...

[EDIT - This edit seems fixed]

All ingame communication with Caravel.net is *slow* - times out usually. Is there a current issue with the server or is this bug linked to the .43 patch?

I can definitely confirm the crashing on stairs. Looks like any hold, any stairs. Not sure what change may have caused it - I might suspect the new Room Lock change, but that feels strange to me.

EDIT: The bug is not limited to stairs. The exact trigger is moving to a new level. The scripted "Go to level entrance" commands in TCB are equally affected. Also, not all holds are affected. One of my own holds does not suffer from the bug no matter how I test it, but when I created a new test hold to try, that bugged. I've yet to find a common element that causes this.

EDIT 2: Doesn't appear to be upgrade related either. I didn't reinstall TCB, to be fair, but I did move all my player-related .dat files away from where TCB could detect them and checked a new player. It crashed immediately upon trying to move from the Infohut level into the first Tutorial level.

As for Caravel.net... well, the time of day you posted *always* tends to be slow for me, so I can't say anything for sure. Try again later tonight?

Cheers for that. I can also confirm it happened with a scripted level change (in RPG 3.0). The site/caravel .net has been slow on and off so presume that traffic is indeed the problem.

Oops...this is a new bug in build 43 caused by my pathmapping fix when changing player roles when going to a new level. I've fixed this for 44.
