Firstly, good game. I liked the Bard's Tale, but this is so much better, especially no cassette tape saves.
OK, the problem. I went down the ladder to the tunnels, with full protection (has caused freezing before) and the yes/ no buttons never moved from the message screen. then I noticed my rogue found traps at any move. I tried to save, but the save game button was blank. I suspected the Tunnels were a no save area and continued, hoping to save it after exiting. The lack of legibility of multiple messages became a problem, but having exhausted the light version, I could work out what was happening. My party is now back at the camp in Castle Cranborough and the overwriting is getting much worse and I still can't save.
A fix would be nice, but I will probably write off a days play with all chars levelling and reload a previous game. However, I thought someone should know.
Happy bug splatting

PS how about an android version?
Hullo all
Solved it one method. reloading silversword either by use of other programs or a power off reboot. This also works for movement freeze after casting lots of protection spells.
It's a bit of a sledgehammer solution. It would be nice to get something a little less time consuming.

I think I have found the problem.
The freezing should only occur when you push the cast spell / use item / play song symbol too fast repeatedly.
Perhaps you may want to try this out:
- Touching cast spell during the message of the last spellcast should freeze your game/movement
- Touching cast spell after the message has gone away (1-2 seconds) should do the trick and prevent freezing.
If this does not solve your problem, I have to delve deeper.
But at least this was reproducible by me and will be fixed with the next update which I just sent to Apple.
