Additional Sixth Character Causing Game Crash

[Alupinu]

I was exploring the dungeon in Dryford Crossing and I decided to try adding a sixth character to my party. So I went back to town and added a 7thlv Elven Ranger. Now every time I try to do a transition between maps the game crashes.

The game did auto save me into Dryford Crossing but when I tried to re-enter the dungeon the game crashed again. I tried this 2x with the same results.

I thought about deleting the sixth character and testing it then but I was told I would need a castle to dismiss my sixth character.

So there I am, game stopper, Not sure what to do.

This seems to happen to anyone after enough transitions between Crossing/Village/any dungeon. It's probably not related to having a sixth character. I read my error.log after the last crash and it said there had been an error writing to a memory address. I'm not a "real" programmer (just a web front-end), but I think the problem is inevitable in this beta build and it's called: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

Really? Interesting, I assumed it was the 6th character just because everything was working fine until I added the character. So you think it was a memory leak caused by one too many transitions? Let me test your theory by going back to one of my earlier saves and see what happens. BTW, thanks for the reply.

Just wondering but you think my problem and the one posted here: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/69260-osx-yosemite-1010-problems/?do=findComment&comment=1532790 are one in the same?

I'm on windows 8.1 so I can't say, haven't tested on Mac OS. Just from your initial description of the problem it sounded like you've visited enough different areas for the game to start crashing on area load. I hope they fix that in the patch that's supposed to arrive in the coming week.

I'm running Windows 7 so probable not, hard to say. Don't know enough about operating systems to talk intelligently and I'll leave it at that.  You say a new patch is coming out next week? Well maybe I'll just wait for that and see what happens.

Well I tried to recreate the bug without the 6th party member and it took a little while but I did it. So it is not the 6th party member but something different. ...strange.
