Oh. It seems there’s quite a few things I missed because I merely arrowed around the menus and used hotkeys, rather than tab. So:

1. The map can indeed be opened by tabbing to it! M doesn’t seem to work, but tab does!
2. Unlike with the arrow keys, tab indeed moves me to exactly where my character is; awesome! Edit: Or not? I just tried it again, and I again consistantly end up in the top left corner. I’m not sure what I’m doing different, if anything at all. :(
3. And I’ve finally found out how to pay gold to get new drafting cards!

I should probably stop ignoring the tab key in general really. Would give my poor arrow keys a break.

The crash indeed mostly seems to happen when entering new rooms, but it’s not 100 % consistant; I believe I’ve also gotten it while surveying. The last crash was indeed from a door though; in fact just the second door I’d opened that run, though admittedly it was in Sandbox mode (I got curious!).

I suppose I can limit my backtracking for now, though it is very sad news indeed. I’ve gotten lucky on a few runs and been able to get the Luscious Shrine placed close to the entrance, and how could I resist using that to get everything there is from the Bone Pit while not running out of steps? And on less lucky runs, without backtracking there simply aren’t enough steps.

If the feature isn’t quite working right though, perhaps you could release a quick fix where you give more steps to start with?

Edit: OK, backtracking definitely can do something — though it doesn’t seem to be crashing, necessarily. It makes the game a little confused about directions. If I backtrack to the dungeon entrance and then try to draft a new room, I will sometimes get a room that will not have a door leading back to the dungeon entrance; for example, I just placed a step-restoring shrine to the east of the dungeon entrance, but the only exits shown are north and south. The other rooms I could draft would normally have been dead ends, but were listed with no exits at all, which would’ve forced me to back track as I simply could not leave.

This sort of confusion also means I can override old rooms. For example, if north of that shrine were a Bunk Beds room that is normally a dead end, with the exit placed in a different direction, because the game claims I still have the north exit open, I could still draft a room to the north. That room would then replace the Bunk Beds room.

I hope this helps isolate the issue somewhat.

If it does, perhaps you could give me a small hint to the Howling depths room, as “payment”? Having a character that possesses the rope but is stubbornly refusing to use it is deeply annoying. Reason, what reason? Same reason you came to the bloody dungeon itself my friend; you have no self-preservation! So get down there already!

Edit2: another smaller bug I forgot to mention earlier: when navigating to the Lushious shrine, your steps should reset to 10. In actuality, they reset to 9, alikely because the 1 movement step is removed after, rather than before the reset. That should be pretty easy to fix by setting the steps given to 21 … uh I mean 11, of course.
