Summary0002399: Castle of Dr. Brain
DescriptionI am on the third floor (it is pretty advanced stage of the game). There is a planetary. There are three riddles: stars' constelations, pair matching and solar system knowledge. When you finish the first two and you are supposed to start the last one, WHDLoad quits. It quits with no error. It just quits.

I attached the savegame states so you could check. There are a few of them but the most important is the one called "planetarium2". You have to finish the pair matching puzzle (it is easy) and soon after you should encounter what is described above.

StingRay (developer)

Caused by lack of memory, I have increased the fast mem size in v1.1 which fixes this problem.

RIP StingRAY :(

Man, i feel kinda bad for doing this but this slave is absolutly pointless;
it solves nothing but only add problems. Like the Crash mentioned above.

Yes, that is fixed, but the Game is suuuuper sloooow with this slave.
Just run it without the slave (runs on any config) or use an older
Workbench 3.1 slave (cause the new 3.1 slave is also very slow)

The difference is like night and day.

When will people learn that not everything needs a WHDLoad slave and it even
can create issues that normally would not be there.

Great, now i feel like a Ahole :(and i freaking love WHDLoad and the whole gang.

Shame on me !!!!

greetz guys & rip stingray :(
