Stops responding when battling wizard in his castle

Postby shirts » 16 Feb 2013, 12:59

I've been playing normally, 2012 version. I fight through the minions to get to the wizard in his castle, and as soon as I reach him, the game stops responding. Here's what it looks like:

At this point I was rudely informed by the forum software that "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs.", so you'll just have to copy and paste this URL yourself and reconstruct it in the browser bar. It shows the screen when the program locks up.

This also happened on my old computer, so it can't be a hardware issue. Can anyone help, because I can't go any further in the game! It was just about to get good...sigh...

Well, I tried to post the link to imgur but the forum software won't allow anything that even looks like a link, even if it's just text. Oh well, so much for that brilliant idea.

Eh, nobody will go to the trouble of pasting together a URL just to see a screenshot of the "you have found the Summoner, begin battle" screen in the wizard's castle. It locks hard and I can't continue.

You underestimate the helpfulness of the people here. Plus, I think you can post links after your fifth post or something. It's a pretty reasonable limitation to keep all the other forum members from having to look at spam before an admin can get to it.

Well, just imagine the screen that happens in the maze, just before the battle with the wizard starts. The lockup happens there. This happened with the previous versions of Shandalar as well. Any ideas?

I believe this issue has been corrected. The problem is caused by the Toggle_Sounds.cmd file not returning all necessary sound files to the \Sound\ folder.

You can either play with sounds toggled "ON", or snatch a fixed version of the Toggler HERE
