v.60 Cannibal Bug

[Shivers]

There's a bug (I think?) where the cannibals heal their prisoners while they're killing them. It prolongs the death, and sometime prevents the death of their prisoners they're trying to kill.

The other bug, which I've had four different times, happened when I tried to kill off someone in my squad. I sent him into the cannibal base to get captured, he did, and once all the cages filled up with other priosners, the cannibals finally started to kill off their meals. Everytime they start killing, the game crashes. Even if the camera isn't by the camp, the game crashes.

I tried reloading the game, it happened anyways. Then I reset the squad postions, my character was still locked in the cage, and the crash occured once all the cages were refilled and the cannibals began to kill again. So I reloaded an older save, and tried again, it crashed again. I retried a total of 4 times with the same results.

I imagine it wouldn't be hard for any of you to recreate and see if you get the same results.

Edit: Here is the crash file

Have to wonder if this is what is causing all of the crashing... It is completely random and can happen as soon as you load a game up or take 30-60 minutes. It eventually happens though... Mayhaps when cannibals in a loaded or adjacent chunk encounter a patrol, kill them and try to have lunch. Maybe...

*shrug*

All I know is that it is driving me insane... I have been playing since the update in 10-30 minute increments. Crash. 90% of the time there is no crash log formed because I have to open the task manager and force close the game because it won't let me minimize the game to do get to any dialog boxes or hit 'X' to close the game. :S

You may be right, that may be why people get crashes in 15-20 min increments. I don't get the crash til the cages fill and the killing starts, which can take roughly 10-20 min. When I import or try reloading the game, all the cages are empty, and I can play til they refill. Once they refill again, the cannibals start killing, and the crash hits.

I had a bug the other day when I saved right before a fight with a 40 man group of bandits next to a cannibal village. Every time the bandits started attacking me, it would crash the game. The only way to escape it was to run away before they saw me. I was able to fight smaller groups of cannibals and bandits, but just not that larger one.

I think there might be a crash related to large groups declaring combat at the same time.

That's also plausible because the cannibals attack their victims in the cages, so that probably constitutes as combat in the game. Since there is so many cannibals attacking the prisoners at once, that might also be the case, but who knows? I'm not knowledgeable at all in this kind of stuff.
