[Crash](0.571a)Slime & Ring Quest cause crash when collecting the ring

[shadowkeith]

As title.

Saw a Slime with ring inside, kill it,
and at the very moment you collect the ring,
CTD comes.

Tried a few times to confirm (didn't notice the ring at first),
and found out a few guys with the same issue.

This is interesting as I have done that quest a number of times without a crash..
I'll go and test this now.

Edit:
I just did the quest without any problems. Do you think it would be possible to show a screenshot of this happening?

 

[shadowkeith]

I don't think I can get any meaningful screenshot...
since it's a clean disappearance of program window when I take that ring.

Tried a few more times,
-tracking which quest (or no tracking) does not affect
-loots still normally saved (on map change?), no matter its from startington or evergrind
-repairing XNA and .Net 4.0 doesn't help

Edit: Grandpa Joe & old lady's quest is still functional. So it's just the ring?

This issue was, or at least should've been, addressed in a hotfix of that patch. Are you sure you have the latest version? You could try removing the game and re download it from Steam to see if that fixes the problem!

It seems to be the case......Steam hates Steam-haters? lol
Consider it solved.

I also have this problem with 0.571a, the same happens upon defeating and looting the arcade mode giga slime quest boss.

Have you tried deleting the game and re-downloading it like shadowkeith did? It looks like it might be some patching error!
