    Default [Solved] Game crashes when I try to pick up a ghost

    Whenever I try to pick up a ghost, the game crashes. However it seems that this only happens with ghosts I "produced" with the torture chamber, not on maps.
    It doesn´t always happen but most times.
    It crashes regardless if I pick up the ghost from the dungeon or the creatures menu.
    It happened in the original campaign and also in fan-made campaigns.
    Anyone else having that issue?

    The issue was posted long time ago, mefisto closed it because the guy didn't answer after three months :

    Ok, but in my game it even crashes before I have the chance to pick up the ghost. Savegames can be provided, one with a shortly dying torture vicitim or with a "fresh" ghost.

    Well, attach these saves.

    We can only fix the issue if we can reproduce it.

    I waited for the ghost to be produced, then tried possessing it several times and de-possessing.
    No crash.


    What is your screen resolution?
    Are you using v0.4.4?

    Well, I also possessed the ghost before the discussion and after depossessing picking up was no problem. However the game still crashes when the ghost is picked up shortly after the torture victim dies. As the original problem was not the possession but the picking up. Possession seems to be a workaround but it should be possible to pick the ghost up without it.

    I use 848x480 and 0.43 with 910 patch.

    Ok, now I was able to reproduce it.

    Will look at the cause.

    EDIT: fixed.

    what is the fix for this problem or did you do something within the save file?
    i have the same problem right now with the undead keeper campaign and i think i had the same things occur during ancient keeper and post ancient keeper, but not as often as with undead keeper, since you don't have so much ghosts in the other campaigns

    edit: weird, now everything's working as intended after i possessed a ghost that seemed to bug at the temple. it got caught at the corner pillar and all the other ghosts stopped moving too.

    seems like you have to possess a ghost at least once every session to work around that bug

    I fixed the code.
    Use nightly builds to get fixed version.
