I'm not sure exactly when it happened to my character but I can't do anything in the control panel while in the wild or cities. Example

Strive bug https://imgur.com/a/ycNXlFO

If you can't see the interface that allows the use of spells and items while exploring is not listing any of my spells, party, or items. The other picture is the dos script looking thing that appears when I run the game and it says

Script error: _on_mansion_pressed: invalid get index 'gear' (on base: 'string').

I'm not sure if this means I corrupted my game or what but only seems to effect just one of my characters ( including the hard save and auto saves) the other 2 hard saves of characters seem to be unaffected by this bug.

Possible side effect/cause of this bug (or just unrelated, it happened to come right before I noticed the missing control gui) is that the animation in battle would cause a distinct lag on controls and (except for first battle after restarting game) the sliding to show who attacked would be moving at 5 fps

Version 5.25

I'm guessing you've got bad data in your group of captured slaves. This could both mess up the control panel (travelling outside) and throw out this error message when trying to move your captured slaves into the mansion.

Keep a copy of the bad save file set aside in case someone wants to look at it (or edit it). I suggest you reload from before this error for now. Do you know how you might have got bad data into your list of captured slaves?

I don't have a save from before the bug, but Im not too attached to the save and can just restart. As for a cause it might be that use invigorate to push how long I was out in the wild. One of the days I did before the bug happened I made close to 10k by using the mark spell to teleport to mountains, catch a bunch of harpies, then use gorn to teleport back to mansion, use the learn button to trade skill points for mansion upgrade points and sell the harpies, using invigorate and sedation when needed. After a couple days of doing this I rushed through the entire Cali subplot, part of the main plot from the get laboratory to handing over the dark elf, and and the yiris challenge until the need for the alchemist, I also bought a bunch of upgrades for the mansion before calling it on that single day. I noticed the bug a couple of days later when I wanted to change the mark location to behind ambergaurd to hopefully be closer to the where I needed to be for the plot, I thought it was just I couldn't use spells back there but when it persisted to no matter where I was I knew it was bug.

Edit: some grammar because I can't spell apparently

For future reference, most devices have a screenshot function built in, so long as the device is not frozen. For instance on Windows 7, pressing "PrtSc" on the keyboard will put the entire display into the clipboard, "Alt" + "PrtSc" will do just the current application. I just open a image editor like Windows Paint, paste the image, crop it to the smallest necessary size,  and remove any identifying text. It is much easier to see what is on screen this way.

That said, I can easily tell what happened on the terminal("dos script"), which is good since the next line "Mansion.gd:1997" that tells me where the error occurred. Unfortunately, that error is a secondary error caused by loading corrupt data from a save file. I have seen a similar case before as part of an error caused by my bugfix patch, which caused an error when returning to the mansion and resulted in corrupt data. Unless you can reproduce the steps before saving the progress, the source of the first error cannot be identified.

Removing the corrupt data from the save file is simple, open the save file with a text editor and find "capturedgroup". It should look similar to this:

"capturedgroup":["[Reference:888056]","[Reference:1066107]","[Reference:1089983]","[Reference:10490]"]

Delete the contents of the outermost brackets to get this:

"capturedgroup":[]

The corrupt data was improperly saved data of captured persons, which cannot be recovered.


I have a bugfix patch on Strive's Discord(https://itch.io/t/284398/discord) in the #mods channel. It fixes many things for vanilla gameplay, though I don't know if your problem is covered (there is a fair chance that it will never happen again). It is not compatible with many mods due to fixes and improvements to the mod system, though random portraits will likely work. Just need to apply it to unmodded game, delete backup, then start game, and apply mods.

for the screen caping, I was called into work so I used my phone for the pics and was typing up the bug report during my break. The computer I'm currently using, until the good one gets back from being fixed, is a refurbished all in one that was made when windows 8.1 came out. That old work horse as been knocked off my desk by cats, survived being on my back after I rolled over the top of a car hitting me(that's the broken screen), I don't know how many powersurges, and 3 good old fashioned complete memory wipes of the hard drive and water exposure from from backpack not being as water repellent as I thought. It takes with out hyperbole 5 minutes to load some of the less used windows features as the thing outdated and has modded new vegas, Skyrim, fo3, drangon age, and the better part of the c and c games. It's a POS but it has lasted me years I'm going to be using as a back up until it finally does die and can't be brought back again.
