I first encountered this in Nameless Fortress so I'll quote myself where I posted in that topic;

But I'm running into a game breaking glitch;

Click here to view the secret text

×in the Disused Sewers, in the top right corner room (the room that contains the knight shield, every time I try to kill the Pirate there (and I should be able to survive it) the game crashes (and closes)

I don't know why this happens, and it happens consistently with this pirate. Unlike other times I experienced this glitch (usually with a mimic, when I was about to kill a mimic the game would crash, it didn't happen consistently.

Now I'm encountering this same glitch again with a red guard on the fourth level of Hold Anonymous. I attached my error log file.

here's a screenshot of the room where it happens

I have discovered what causes this crash.

1) Place a character so that their sword is on the top row.
2) Have the Jitter game effect apply to that character. In RPG this happens automatically when you fight an enemy.

Assertion error in line 7106 of C:\Source Code\drod\drodrpg\DROD\RoomWidget.cpp: "nPixelY >= this->y"
Assertion error in line 7176 of C:\Source Code\drod\drodrpg\DROD\RoomWidget.cpp: "nPixelY >= this->y"
Assertion error in line 7252 of C:\Source Code\drod\drodrpg\DROD\RoomWidget.cpp: "IS_COLROW_IN_DISP(wCol, wRow)"

Note that this crashes RPG, but it still error beeps with the same errors in classic DROD too.

please excuse my ignorance but I can't understand github to save my life so does this mean this glitch has been fixed? Or that post was just making the glitch known to the community?

A "PR" means that a change was made to the source code to address the problem. But you'll have to wait for the next official build before the game incorporates the change.

Although some enterprising folks are able to build the game themselves from github, I am not one of them.
