Good Hope Crushing Dreams and Crashing Games

[AnOldFriend]

Name: Good Hope Crushing Dreams and Crashing Games

Where: Multiple locations so far, has happened in Village of Barovia Eastern Outskirts, Outside of Forest Fane,  Outside of Shipwreck,  does not seem to be location dependent.

When: Warding

What: Upon casting Good Hope while warding it causes all  4 members of the party to crash. 

Recreate: Our usual party is  a  Wizard, Bard, and Paladin.   When the bug is occurring. But it also happened today with a  Wizard,  Bard,  and Voodan.  So potentially it is an interaction with a Divine spell.   

Ideas: Blame Beamdog (kidding, mostly)  If it wasn't  for the fact Good Hope is a custom spell I don't believe would have written up this bug report.   I'm not certain exactly what is causing it.  We suspect it has to do with overlapping VFXs from different spells, but we have adopted the practice of purposely not casting while  Good hope was being casted, and it still crashes when I cast the next spell (occasionally,  probably about 1/5 times)

Can you recreate an exact and reproducible scenario for this? As in, which exact spells are cast in which order and by whom.

[AnOldFriend]

Sorry for the late reply,  my bard friend has not had much free time lately. 

I attempted to recreate it today with them with no success. 

I did remember something important that I did not include in the original post. It could be related to Inspire Spellpower,  the bard song feat the bard uses it before buffing.  Although it in theory should not effect their own spells. 

But I'll give our normal spell list. 

Wizard:
Shield
Protection from Evil
Bulls, Cats  (sometimes provide by bard)
GMW Keen Sonic (sometimes provide by bard)
Sometimes Empowered Cats/bulls
Extended GMA , Lesser mind blank, Extended Mass see invisibility
Greater Stoneskin
Improved invisiliby Sphere,  Protection From Spells. 

Bard:
Feat: Inspire Spellcasting
Cats/Bulls (sometimes)
Good hope

Could not recreate this to any success, many overlapping spell effects from other sources present. Inspire Spellpower not present.

Managed to get a crash to happen.   

First was inspire spell song

I had casted Shadow Armor on myself already which was the only visual effect present.

Then  as I was casting Water Breathing, they casted good hope.

All 3 people present crashed

Area was the deck of Shipwreck in Blaustein.

I've been able to get it to repeat a few times with Shadow Armor being casted on the wizard.  Inspire Spellcasting used every time.   

It does not happen every time however. And does not generate crash logs

[Bad_Bud]

I will try to recreate this soon.

I've made a few tweaks to Inspire Spellpower; it's a long shot, but let us know if this reoccurs.

This is difficult to report properly, because if we do crash then I can not just scroll up and say what spells were being used.

But today we had a crash while on the Har'akir -Central Desert - Dune Sea    map.

And then later in the day in Harvest Temple. 

No shadow armor this time but our cleric did cast spell resistance.

If you get Gnomish Log Rotator it’ll log your chat box when you crash or exit the game.

I've loaded a tentative fix for this on the test server if you want to try to recreate it.

Is this still occuring?
