There is a corpse in the mortuary, number 985, that kills my game. It doesn't crash, per se, it just stops accepting input from me so I have to alt-tab out and restart the game.

This happens when I either push or try to keep the corpse from falling over (I think it has a bad leg?). After the corpse falls over, then my game will go no further. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a way to overcome it?

Also, I should mention that even though the game stops accepting input from me (mouse buttons presses and key presses are ignored, for the most part) I can still scroll back through the dialog text with no problem. Weird, huh?

Thanks!

A longshot but you could try deleting all the files in the games /cache and /temp folders.

Might be a silly question, but has the "click for more" blue button appeared on the right on the dialogue box?

Hey! Yeah, that was the first thing I checked. Unfortunately, the "click for more" button doesn't light up. Basically, corpse 985 falls over with a "wet *thump*" and then nothing. I can scroll the dialog backwards and forwards and right-clicking the mouse produces a low humming sound (but no right-click window). Other than that, I can't do anything else. The computer isn't locked up (I can alt-tab freely and do other things) and the game doesn't appear to be locked up, either. It's just not taking input from me anymore.

Oh well from what I've learned, there is a "weird" weapon I can get from that corpse (It's arm?) but I think I can live without it.

Thanks! Hmm, I'll try that. If it works, I'll post back here to let you know. Thanks!

Yeah, you just get a totally unremarkable weapon - it's novel in its appearance, being a limb, but stat-wise it's just normal. You can get more like this later anyway. It might give you a Chaotic point, contributing slightly to an alignment change if you keep doing such things, but there are countless things to do to increase your Chaotic ranking, if that's what you want.

Well, I think I figured out the problem. On a lark, I decided to make my font smaller (I'm using the Ghostdog mod). So, I knocked the size from 40% to 20%. For whatever reason, that fixed the problem. Somehow, I'm thinking my fonts were "too big" and it threw off the text display. I could see the text describing how the corpse fell with a "wet thump", but nothing else. Once I made the fonts smaller, I could see that text and then the text below that! Weird!
