    Hi, so here's my problem:

    I summoned the 4 demon pets from the demonology tree and went fighting with them. I had also activated abyssal fire. When I entered a room that had around 6 monsters and my minions engaged them, there is usually a pause where your character cannot move while the pets are doing their attacks. While I was waiting i mashed attack on a creature next to me and the AOE from abyssal fire proced. At that moment my minion engaged a monster and then the game bugged and it is still in the pause waiting for my pet to hit and I cannot get out of it. I cannot press any button or go to the menu, the character is stuck in place. Is there anything I can do to remedy this and is there a way to save my progress, because if I exit the program with task manager it will delete my current progress, which is a shame. I do hope this gets fixed and there are no such bugs to this otherwise great game. Thank you in advance.

    The devs are looking into it, but it's very strange.

    Simplest thing to do is to just copy your entire dungeons of dredmor save directory to your desktop, end task the program, and then replace the save directory with the one you backed up.

    However, if you end task using the "Processes" tab instead of the "Applications" tab, your save file shouldn't be deleted. But why take any chances?
