#527701 SCS II - Monk Lunar Stance freezes game?

Posted by zerthimon on 24 November 2011 - 08:29 AM in IE Help

Ok, this problem originally cropped up when I faced Balthazar at the monastery. I didn't know the exact reason but the fight soon froze after initiation. My work around at that point was to simply drop him in seconds flat before he activated anything. The problem recurs in the final Ascension fight when Mel spawns the Five. Game freezes when he activates Lunar Stance it so happens.

So to troubleshoot this I tried to isolate the problem. I've gone through all the permutations I can think of (Ascension before fixpack, Ascension after g3 fixpack, etc), removing all other mods such as UB, tactics, wheels of prophecy, you name it, and it all boils down to SCS II. No special component of it is even required, it's simply the basic "Initialise Mod" component which is needed to screw up the Lunar Stance. If I just remove SCS II from the equation everything works perfectly.

I can't post this in G3 forums because it's down so I thought I would see if anybody else experienced this. I'm a bit perplexed as to how such a thing could go under the radar. There was a post in G3 forums Oversight subsection about the oversight added Monk HLAs freezing the game but I never used that mod. So it seems the problem may not be with Oversight after all.

As for my current WEIDU log it's pretty bare, and you can mix and match any of the fixpack components without affecting the bug, and you can still experience the bug in the monastery fight if you remove Ascension entirely:
