Something in the version Ormus posted (found here http://info.wsisiz.edu.pl/~kowalsg0/) that would be really, really, *really* nice if someone could fix because, for a completionist like myself, it's a bug that pretty much destroys my desire to play the game:

Map data is randomly lost for both town and outdoor sections. This happens very frequently and always seems to happen upon reloading a save file (it never happens in the middle of a session, or at least I've never noticed it doing so). I've never played with the "Don't Save Maps" setting on so I don't know exactly how that functions, but it's possible that that's getting toggled on without the user telling it to do so. However, I've never lost my map data for ALL towns or sections - usually most is preserved.

When town map data is lost, the town that was affected also has the locations of all its items scrambled and show up in random places.

Sadly, I know nothing about coding so I can't really help pinpoint the line where this problem shows up, but it seems like a pretty major bug so it would be great if someone could fix it.

Morover: Refer to my original post for a description of the bug.

Celtic Minstrel: That's the very version that has the bug that I described. Do you know of any other? If not, I guess I'll need to get in touch with whoever worked on that version to inform them of the bug.

I can get the text working just fine on the above one and I can load some scenarios normally (others need to be renamed to one of the scenarios that came with the game, like valleydy.exs or stealth.exs, and then opened from the "Start Scenario" button rather than the "Custom Scenario" one.)

The map loss bug is killing me, though.

I've found a couple of links to compiled versions of Blades that seem to be more or less working, but there are some major outstanding bugs in them. Most notably, I'm encountering a bug where map data (both town and outdoors) is randomly lost. If it's town map data that is lost, then the position of any items that are in that town will become completely scrambled. This has happened in both scenarios that I've tried to play, The Forsaken and Wreck of the Slug, and for me it makes the game more or less unplayable.

If this bug has been fixed, then could someone provide a link to a compiled version for Windows that doesn't have this bug? And if it hasn't, well, I guess it goes on the list of things that need to be fixed.
