Bug in the Forest Map - ID: 346
FORUM: Announcements
This topic was started by icetear on 13/01/2012, 09:13:22
I want to inform you about a bug upon entering the forest map.
If you typed "Exodus" as solution to the magic mouth riddle, your game will be stuck upon re-entering the map (either by going into standby and coming back, re-entering the zone or by loading a saved game)!
This is an issue that will be fixed ASAP, but as for now, I ask you kindly to avoid the forest map if you already answered the question with "Exodus".
Sorry for this
If you happen to be stuck, please send me your save game and I will try to fix this.
Regards
Mario
Mario,
Just got my 100k divine item, went back through savage cross and into the forest, game is locked.
How do I find / send you the save game file?
Thanks,
Sean
Hello Sean,
you will find the save game files via iTunes App Sharing.
they are labeled gameSave1-5, with a "stateSave" file which represents the temporary autosave.
Download the most recent file via iTunes and send it to <EMAIL email="info@silversword-rpg.com">info@silversword-rpg.com</EMAIL>
You might also want to take a look at the screenshots here:

If you have any problems, send me a message!

Another possible way out until this is fixed:
Upon starting the game, you can try to touch the screen where the Settings button will appear.
With a bit of luck, you will be taken to the settings screen where you can acces an old save game.

Hmm... I got the forest wizard part done awhile ago and have been around the other village(the one near the sleep spot and crypt). My spellcasters got hit with the old spell and I was just about to go to the hidden fountain in the main camp. I'm not sure where the forest is that you are talking about and want to avoid it. I might have nothing to worry about but can you tell me or show me a map of the freeze spot your talking about? Thanks!

If you entered "Exodus" as a solution to the magic mouth riddle that can be found in the "forest" map (between castle ridge and savage crossing), the game will hang upon entering. To avoid this, you can use the travel service from savage crossing to the ruin camp. Then you should be fine.

Not sure I have access to the travel service yet. I kinda just been wandering around after the tower mission... I got the levitation and wiki-ed the two names from the forest wizard and guessed right for the solution to it. - I thought you had to go to Ansharbor to get access to the travel service, but maybe I just haven't found it yet.
Right now I'm at the savage crossing camp near Glyndolyn. I know about the secret path where I have to fight two sets of the Guardian trees to get back to the ruin camp. Unless there's an easier way I'll just do that.
Oh and one more thing... can I get to the sniper arrow place or is that pretty close to the freeze forest bug place?

That's in the deeper forest, east of savage crossing. No problems there!

Ok cool!
Another bug prevents you from buying the compendium *sigh*
But good news: The new version 2.0.5 has already been submitted to Apple. With some further improvements!

Found the bug... I saved it before exiting savage crossing though. The game froze so I deleted the savestate from itunes and did a full reset (back out and delete the multitask icon) uh reverse the order though. Got back to my latest save. Not a fix but at least I can play in savage crossing and the crypt area.
Uh I started training another hunter and a bard so i don't think I could make it through the 2 guarding tree area... any idea if I could find or even be able to use the traveling service... I still need to get rid of the old status on my mages... or is there other ways of ridding that status? Thanks.
- Edit.... I guess I just missed the transportation place. Found it by looking around the savage camp place! Good to go then. :)

- edit2 just a heads up, I was able to travel through savage crossing and by pressing the travel icon exit the service and walk around in the forest area, but when reentering the game froze again. Mute point seeing as the update is almost here but figure it might help those in the same sit as me?...
Any way into Karilan Andur without going through the forest (bugged map) ?
Once you been there, you have an additional travel route.
But before, the forest map will crash, if you are one of the affected players.
Until the update is live (end of the week hopefully), I can fix your savegame manually. You can download it via iTunes App-Sharing and send it to me (<EMAIL email="info@silversword-rpg.com">info@silversword-rpg.com</EMAIL>).

After completing Castilla Artonsa, I used the travel service back to Savage crossing. I then used the travel service from savage crossing to the ruins camp to avoid the "bug" issue. As I approached the end of the mountain ridge I hit a "bug issue again.
Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Is this going to resolved in the new update? I'm really sucked into the game and would like to continue if possible. thanks.
Just read the above post, Ill wait for the update. thanks, great game man. Haven't felt like this since the first time I played Wizardry.
As by now, the only freeze I could successfully reproduce is due to the forest bug - and this one will be resolved in the update (which is overdue by Apple...).

So I just finished the castilla and the ape cave. Am I stuck waiting for the fix to be rolled out?
Am I guaranteed to be stuck or is it intermittent?
If I have multiple saves, does entering the forest wipe them all out or just the one I'm currently playing?

Entering the forest will freeze your game in case you entered "Exodus" as the answer to the magic mouth in the southern part of the map. This is a map issue (that's why you have to wait for the update to having this fixed), your save games are ok. If you are prone to this bug, you have two choices until the update comes out:
1. use the travel services - as elsewhere mentioned, they should work without triggering the freeze
2. send me your last save game, I will remove the answer from it that triggers the freeze
I am really sorry for this

Looks like I am one of the affected. Just exited Savage to the west and locked up. I'll wait for the update.
The bug is finally fixed with the current update 2.051.
