On the new 7.00 update, asking the Zendar merchant (have not checked other merchants) what to buy and sell here causes a freeze. Have to alt+tab out and close.


[edit] I now have tried asking other merchants what to buy and sell. The bug does not seem to go any further than Zendar. [/edit]
 
I also had this problem and tried a second time and a third with similar results. On a suspicion I started again. This time I exited the town and reentered before visiting the merchant. This fourth time it worked!! Suspect this particular error may be one of initialization. (Possibly until you enter the town the game does not know where you are.)
 
That's very odd. I've already asked that man what he trades for in order to establish whether I could still rip him off for salt. No problems, here :???:

Don't you see your character automatically walk into zendar after okay-ing the world map tutorial?
 
I have had the same problem

I believe it happened in both Zendar and Tulga, regardless of entering the town or not.

The problem first occurred to me after I had adventured around a bit with my first character. I was able to ask merchants what to buy/sell several times without this bug happening, and then it suddenly appeared.

I restarted the game with a new character. This time the Zendar merchant gave me this bug the first time I visited him (although this was after lots of training and arena fighting and some saving and reloading).

I tried reinstalling the game and the new .702 exe. This DID NOT fix the problem with my second saved character (didn't try the first one again).

However I was able to start a new character and ask the Zendar merchant the bugged question without the bug occurring.

I then tried my pre-reinstall character again, the bug was still there.

I created yet another new character and again the bug did not appear immediately.

I'm thinking it's something to do with saved game corruption that does not damage the overall game install.
 
After fiddling around a bit more I'm not convinced that it happened anywhere outside Zendar. I think that was my memory playing tricks on me. I went back to the pre-reinstall character and although he still gets the bug in Zendar he can ask other merchants the question without problems.

Edit - thanks Narcissus, pleasure to be here :smile:
 
I also am getting lockups when talking to merchants , in several towns not just Zendar , it also happened once talking to a caravan ,
 
Thank you, Kid. :grin:

@ Tribesman = Is that a 0.702 character? Did you create him from scratch after installing 0.702 or is it possible that character is from 0.701?

I'm getting a similar problem. Not only does it lock up when I about trade goods, it also give me this when I try to get a quest.

Pressing retry gives me a BSOD

Ninja edit: This is just the Zendar mechant. I havn't tried any others. This is .701, and I think I patched from .5 something.
 
Hmmm.

First off ... welcome to the forum Haystack. :grin:

Back to business ... Haystack ... what version are you currently running?

EDIT: Nice 'ninja edit' ... heh. Try upgrading to 0.702. Download link is in my sig ... take that .exe and drop it in your mount&blade folder and overwrite 0.701.
 
Whoa, nice response time.

I just upgraded to .702, and it still gives me the same error when I try to ask for a quest. I should note that when I ask for a quest, it doen't actually lock up. It just goes to my character asking for the price of things, then doesn't move to the next step of the conversation. The protrait still anamates, though.
 
A character from .701. I'll try a new one now.

BTW, looking at the module folder, I notice that there's a .log file with the full text from the error message in it, but it says it was last edited in april.

I wasn't sure , so I deleted both my existing characters , and so far no problems with the newest one
 
This is what happened to me in Xendar, Suno, and at least two other towns.
Me: "What do merchants buy or sell in this town."
Merchant: ....
Me: *confused stare*
Merchant: ....
Me: "Uh, dude, tryin to talk to you here."

Okay, that last line didn't happen, but you get my point. These are 0.702 characters and I've uninstalled, reinstalled, and tried two differant characters. It happens at least 50% of the time now.

I alt-tab out, and the program is still running properly, but I have to End Task for it to stop.
