I've got 2 PCs at home (one for work & one for personal use). When TCB came out, I installed it on my work PC and managed to successfully download all holds and transfer my progress from JtRH. I've now tried installing TCB on my personal PC, but I'm having an issue importing my profile in particular relating to The Monsters Cave hold. I have twice downloaded all holds and imported my player and both times I got an error whilst checking demo integrity for The Monsters Cave. Although I have some messages in drod.err I don't believe they are related to this, as the last thing I tried was deleting all holds except The Monsters Cave and importing my player - I get the same error but nothing new in the drod.err file.

I have included the drod.err messages here for anyone interested:

Assertion error in line 1321 of .\CurrentGame.cpp: "this->bIsGameActive"
Assertion error in line 5022 of .\CurrentGame.cpp: "this->bIsGameActive"
Assertion error in line 6519 of .\DbRooms.cpp: "!pMonster || pMonster->wType != wMotherType || wTile == wTarType"

Thanks for the report. I'm not clear on what actually happened when you say you "got an error". Do you just mean these error messages were written to drod.err, but otherwise everything was fine? I think receiving one or both of the above error messages have been fixed in the 3.1.1 patch. I'll be posting build 58 soon, so try installing that when it's released to see whether this works better now. If it doesn't, and DROD is crashing or something when you try to import your player, then you'll need to email me your .player file so I can install it and reproduce the bug on my end.

I'm more used to fixing bugs than reporting them...

The error is a Windows Error:

"Program Error

drod.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created."

Obviously, the log referred to here is a Windows log - I could try and dig it out if anyone knows what it might be called - I'm using Windows 2000.

Having said all this, I've found the following thread on the forum which may be related to this, although I'm not sure if it refers to the previous version of TCB or not:

Ah, okay. Yes, this looks like the same thing. When I post a 3.2 beta patch, you may try installing it and importing this hold. It should work correctly.
