−
* Punished players frequently crash on the Plane of Water.

* The game may sometimes appear to hang when monsters are spawning. Often the remedy for this is to give it a while (a minute or two); if it still didn't unfreeze by then, killing the window might be the only option, which should cause the game to save, but this has a small chance of bugging the savegame file so be careful!
−
* If there is no free space on a level and the game triggers a group spawn, the game may hang.
 
−
* Sometimes if a monster dies or certain other things happen, the game gives a "dmonsfree: 1 removed doesn't match 2 pending" disorder message. The game still runs afterwards but sometimes monsters come back to life after saving and restoring; the exact cause is still unknown.
 
−
* Certain events can trigger a "cant find o_id <number>" message, sometimes followed by a game crash that may leave an unrecoverable savegame file. As long as I can't find a way to fix this serious bug, all players are advised to regularly back up their savegames so they don't lose all progress if the bug strikes; being able to track down and fix this bug would be great...
 
−
* Certain other events can trigger an "obj_is_local" panic which may also cause savegame files to be unrecoverable. Looking at the source of old SLASH'EM versions and certain other variants suggests it has to do with light sources but I currently can't reproduce it...
 
−
* Some systems seem to have a bug with level-drain attacks that can cause them to instantly kill the character. Again, I can't reproduce it, and the level drain code doesn't seem to have any bugs, but until someone finds out what is causing this, players who are experiencing this bug may want to use items with high magic cancellation and drain resistance.

This page lists known bugs of Slash'EM Extended that aren't fixed yet. Any information that may help fixing them is appreciated; this is especially true for serious bugs that crash the game or (even worse) break savegame files.

  • The game may sometimes appear to hang when monsters are spawning. Often the remedy for this is to give it a while (a minute or two); if it still didn't unfreeze by then, killing the window might be the only option, which should cause the game to save, but this has a small chance of bugging the savegame file so be careful!
