Haste Potion on Death bug - Show-Stopper (v1.5)

Post by Nighthawk »

I'm one hit away from death, with nothing in my inventory that's going to prevent it. So, just for giggles, I drink a potion of haste self.
The trolls hits and kills me, but I don't get the whole red death / tombstone / info scroll screen. Instead:

Perhaps the game thinks that I still have one more move, due to the haste effects. Zoom functions still worked.
I didn't try moving from this position, but instead tried reading an unidentified scroll I had, just to see what would happen (thinking maybe I could still find out what it was, and then die).
The scroll-reading animation played normally, but no effect occurred on-screen or was mentioned in the comments. Instead:

Totally messed up stats (compare with first screen shot), and a show-stopper bug. Couldn't move, couldn't access inventory. The only way out was to quit the app via the hardware button.
Note: Zoom functions still worked, even though everything else didn't.


When I restarted the app and checked the Hall of Fame, it looks like my death was recorded properly (entry 6)...

...and there were no ill effects in starting my next game.

Wow, that is a very obscure bug! I suppose it's a good thing that it actually didn't affect your game, only the death sequence. More bizarre that the death was recorded even. I'll see if I can set up a situation like this and duplicate it... probably have to give myself some identified haste potions to start the game with! :D

On the messed-up stats part, something just occurred to me. I can't account for the 20(18) strength part and the drastically reduced experience, but the rest:

Health: 73/73 - that's what it was when I entered the 15th floor.
Defense: 1 - that's what it was when I entered the 15th floor. I was wearing (+3 I think) banded mail when I started the floor, and immediately took it off (for reasons known to expert players with a certain style :ugeek:)
Gold: 2265 - which is what it should be, having just died (2517 * .9 = 2265), and was recorded properly on the Hall of Fame board. Not sure about the steps or monsters killed, as I don't keep track :-P (can we get those stats in the update, perhaps?)

So, some part of the save on floor change sequence may be part of it.
