Awww. I like them.
This should fix it:
Can someone who gets the crash repeatably please try the following
in the file 'entity_drow_evil.txt' find around line 88:
[WEAPON:ITEM_TOOL_CODEX_BLADEMASTER:FORCED]
(which is incorrect, a mistake on my part)
and either replace it with:
[WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_BLADEMASTER_ARMS:FORCED]
or simply delete the line
Once I do this i get no more crashes.
The only reason I'm not confident it's the fix is that it is strange how intermittent it was before for me. But, please someone else try it and we'll go from there
Unfortunately it did not work for me.
My savedgame still loads maybe once every ten tries or so. Then when it loads eventually, it works fine.
