multiplayer ascension bug
« on: April 20, 2007, 07:43:39 PM »
This is a bug i found a while ago, and didn't get around to posting until now. 

Another player was hosting, and we were beating ascension in multiplayer.  We had almost identical mods installed, we both had tactics and ascension, and neithor of us had any mods that change ascention such as redemption or turnabout.

During the final fight the client stops time using a time trap followed by a timestop scroll.  The client then kills one of the five (ilthera) during the time stop.  The timestop breaks early and the mel appearance cutscreen begins.  Mel never appears though, so the cutscreen never ends.  We have to ctrl-alt-delete to close the game and relaunch.  This happened at least 3 times before we figured out the sequence that caused it. 

I don't have my weidu log from when this happened, so here is my current one.  It should be about the same as it was then, except for the NPC mods

Another player was hosting, and we were beating ascension in multiplayer.  We had almost identical mods installed, we both had tactics and ascension, and neithor of us had any mods that change ascention such as redemption or turnabout.

It's possible that there is no solution here. BG2 multiplayer was never one of its stronger features, and having "almost identical mods" installed (as opposed to _actually_ identical) could be enough to push it over the edge. Or even just the additional scripting stuff going on in Ascension.

It was probably the scripting, nothing else went wrong in that game, and we started in chapture 2 and played with tactics.  As far as bugs go, its not exactly common, and we were still able to beat ascention, as long as a client didn't cast timestop.
