November 15, 201411 yr I've completed the cave (didn't kill the ogre, convinced him to move on) and am trying to level up just outside the cave - and I'm seeing frequent hangs while doing it . Seems like I have about a 50/50 chance of it hanging when I click on the 'Level up' button - I'm basically having to save after leveling each character... VERY painful. I'm getting very tired of having to force-quit and restart / reload... I've spent maybe 10 minutes trying to level up my party so far... reloaded at least 6 times, and I've only managed to level up 2 characters. I also saw it hang once just while trying to get to the character screen.
November 15, 201411 yr Author As an additional note, I tried going back to the village and levelling up there - also no dice - this is 5 times in a row it crashed while trying to level my priest - the time before that I succeeded in leveling the priest, but it hung when I leveled up the next char...
November 15, 201411 yr Author I don't know if it is relevant or useful, but after turning in the ogre quest, I got a little further, I was able to level up my priest and rogue before it hung while trying to level the wizard. I ran the 'Sample' option while inspecting the process from the Activity Manager, which seems to give a trace of which threads are open, etc. Not sure whether it is useful, but I've attached it here. If there are additional debugging or tracing steps I can run on the mac, let me know. I have xcode installed, but not a very recent version. Sample of PillarsOfEternity.txt
November 16, 201411 yr Author One more note on this - I just tried another play-through from a new character, and had the same behaviour - after I cleared out the Ogre caves and tried to level up, it hung while leveling up my wizard. unfortunately I hadn't been saving the game, and I was left with a corrupt save game - at least the game has hung twice when I tried loading the auto-save.
