Windows XP Consistent crash upon entering Wizardlands

I am experiencing a consistent crash upon attempting to enter the Wizardlands through the pocket dimension door. I can enter the address for a Wizardland and see the door light up, but as soon as I click on the door to attempt to go through it, the game crashes with a File Not Found error. This file has been dungeon/kitchen_counter.png three times and dungeon/tesla_coil.png twice in my five attempts to enter Wizardlands.

I have reinstalled the game through Steam's "Delete Local Content" option and used the -nukesteamcloud parameter to delete all my saved games and high scores, but the problem persists.

 

I think the problem is with my installation, not the game itself, but regardless -- here you go. Also, I can't verify the crash and then use the same code again, so I've set up the wizard portal with a fresh code since it's consistently crashed no matter which Wizardland I try to enter. Standing in front of the portal with the code entered; entering is what crashes me every time with a file not found error.

 

Looks like that was the problem. Thank you.

 

I have the exact same problem described above. Playing on OS X. I realized I didn't have YHTNTEP, so I downloaded that. Still crashed every time I try to go through the door in the pocket dimension after entering a valid code. Deleted everything, re-downloaded everything via steam. Started brand new game. Still crashing whenever I try to walk through the pocket dimension door. I see you ask for save files, but I don't know how to find the file on my mac, wherever it's hidden.

 

Has anyone screamed 'BERGSTROM!!!!' yet? The crashes described in the initial post are all totally my fault. I sent Nicholas room designs right at deadline, using stuff from YHTNTEP without even considering that not everyone would have YHTNTEP. Not Gaslamp's fault, totally my bad. Sorry.

 

We contemplated this some time ago with something else, but it wouldn't be as funny as screaming "FAAAAX!" so we didn't.

But then again, correct me if I'm wrong with my train of thoughts but I see no reason for anyone to have CotW but no YHTNTEP, so why?

 

After CoW hit desura but before yhtntep hit Desura _I_ was in the situation you describe for a while. I agree that I can't
see any reason for anyone still to be in this situation.

 

Thanks for the path - found the saves. But when I click "Upload File" below, the "select file to upload" window won't let me choose my actual savegame folder (drizzt.dredmorsave) for upload. I can look at the folder contents in the upload window, but all its contents are greyed out as well. Is there any other way I can send you the save folder?

 

I can consistently reproduce the problem. Entering the dimensional portal and trying any of these codes (Mutlioolechgorcra,
Eytwelechgorcha, Argewngorgorzar) results in a crash: "An error! File named dungeon/tesla_coil.png not found. The game will probably crash!"

I'm using MacOSX 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro (2009 version) 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (4 GB ram). I bought
Dungeons of Dredmor Complete from Steam (Dungeons of Dredmor, Dungeons of Dredmor: Realm of the Diggle Gods, Dungeons of Dredmor: Conquest of the Wizardlands).

My autosave is attached.

 

That seems to have solved the problem. Many thanks!

 

i am having the same problem and im using windows 7

 

Have you tried the solution proposed by Daynab?

Just asking to make sure.

 

I'm yet another poor wanderer with a consistant crash upon entering wizardlands. I'm running off Steam with Vista, and according to Steam both the name the expansion pack and the wizard lands pack are installed. I also tried deleting all local content and reinstalling from scratch. Still no luck.

I haven't purchased the Diggle gods expansion yet. Do I need that to run Wizardlands?

Thanks ahead of time for any advice, I'm really looking forwards to seeing what the wizardlands have to offer.

 

You don't necessarily “need it”, but since some of the content of the wizardlands is dependent on them you'll find the game crashing from time to time (some wizardlands will work, many won't) if you don't.

So yeah, I do recommend getting the first expansion pack.
