Crashes at the option screen.

I am experiencing strange crashes at random moments when I try to go into the options screen from ingame (The error tends to occur when I attempt to open the option screen more than one time in a single game, or just at random times). It's the strangest thing, the game crashes and I get the "error report" screen. But that's not all. I play the game in 640 x 8??(I forget) pixels. Strange thing is, when I get this message and Hexen closes, I am still stuck in 640 x 8?? pixels and have to go into my computer's settings to fix it. Usually I can walk around the problem of losing my data, by saving directly before opening my options screen, but that still leaves the ever-annoying resolution problem. Anyone know why this might happen? Help is appreciated, thanks. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> EDIT: I understand this is a bug, but I am just asking on if anyone else has had this problem, and i they have - can they help me.

What version of KMOD do you use? BTW, version 3 is known to be quite unstable.

Yeah. It's v3. It tends to crash at random spots for no particular reason. But more commonly when I try to go to options, and most recently when I attempt to save and/or load my game.

Well, first of all, I was not a programmer who made Kmod, I worked on other games like Korax Arena, and the guy who worked (and maybe still works) on Kmod3 rarely visits forums; but I already tried to fix something there, so maybe will be able to fix this one; I am just not sure how soon, because I have other things to do as well, and Kmod is not counted as high priority now for our team. I also remember having some crash related with options or help screen, something like, if you open some screens in some particular order. Maybe the one you mention is the same.

Perhaps, and I understand kmod not being a first priority to programming atm. After all, we have the arena, and KH to look forward to. Kmod is the least of issues atm. I'll try and download an earlier version, perhaps it will get rid of this issue.

[quote="Parias":a22utjgp]I'll try and download an earlier version, perhaps it will get rid of this issue. I heard version 2.8 was quite stable. Version 3 is rather a beta.

Yeah, v3 trips head over heels half the time. v2.8 is nice, though. I dunno of the guy that programs this game will ever be on, but if he is hopefully he'll be able to find this thread.
