The general discussion forum is very hard for us to navigate as there is a lot of movement, so we only look at it briefly. If you get a game breaking bug, such as a crash to desktop, please make a post in the bug report section, and also send your output log and a copy of your combat log, found in your steam install directory: - Steam\SteamApps\common\mordheim\mordheim_Data\output_log.txt - Steam\SteamApps\common\mordheim\combat.log Email this log to logs at rogue-factor.com and we'll take a look at it. Please link your post/thread in your email so we can return to it. A DxDiag can also be helpful, and if you managed to take a screenshot that will also help quite a bit. We hope you enjoy this patch.
