Bug with spells

[barghest]

I've had a couple of occasions where casting Acid Ray/Entagle has caused the game to 'pause' No menus are available, and the spell 'glow' is showing on the wizard. I can ESC back to the main menu, and load another game though.

I'm currently in the cave to the SW of the starting area.

Hello barghest, thank you for your post. Which version are you using?

[VentilatorOfDoom]

This happended to me quite some times too, but it has nothing to do with a specific spell. It happens when you play windowed mode and accidently click outside the window (on desktop) during certain actions - like targeting a spell - iirc. Altough I'm not completely sure if it occures during targeting a spell or some other action... anyway it happens after you clicked outside the window thats for sure.

I'm using 1.12.

Interesting about the 'Windowed' comment as that is how I'm currently playing it.

Let's throw in a wrench...

*tosses wrench in*

I also play in windowed mode and clicking outside of the game doesn't have any adverse effect for me.

Have you tried binding the cursor to not leave the game (F3 key)?

[barghest]

Well, no. I've switched to full-screen mode and it hasn't glitched on spells me yet.

I was unable to move the characters around at one point, but a save/reload got around that...

Any extra info about when your characters got stuck would be useful, Barghest.

Only problems I've had so far were in the caves to the south west of the starting tower. Only had that one glitch since going full-screen.

I'm trying to reproduce the problem with entangle/acid ray/or clicking outside the window, but no luck so far. Any further clue as to when this happens and how often would be appreciated. Was it after a series of fights? the first fight after a saved game? battle with spider queen?

I'm still playing windowed if it happens again, I will try to reproduce the scenario and let you know.
