When descending stairs, the game didn't respond at all. The screen stayed on the upper level. I probably had visited the lower level earlier, but I'm not entirely sure - I'd been using an altar for a while on a couple levels higher. Cursor became the Windows 7 waiting circle (hourglass cursor). No error message or stack trace.
In fact, in both these two cases and in the case reported in http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=906 the game seems to be generating not only bracers of defense, but in particular an orcish chieftain with bracers of defense...
Thanks for providing the stack traces. Actually the problem was a very stupid programming mistake in open-ended die rolls which occurred only _very_ rarely - so I never saw those. It was trivial to fix once the problem was located.
Fixed for ADOM II 0.2.4. Please send your real name to creator(at)ancientdomainsofmystery.com for it to be included in the credits. (If you were already asked to do so you can ignore this message. Please include a reference to the bug or RFE you are credited for.)
I actually had this bug happen to me twice now. Once when decending to level one of the CoC and once when decending into a random wilderness dungeon (possibly shard dungeon, unknown). Delayed reporting until second occurance.
Wow, Apparently I did. I had clearly meant to link to a different issue. Sorry.
Actually, I believe that you meant to post in a different issue and link to this. When I made this one, I searched pretty damn well for any potential prior reports. Besides, this is the one which was marked as "fixed", so your "this has been fixed" comment would make better sense if in an actual duplicate.
Can somebody petition this back to Fixed? I don't seem to be able to do that.
