4.0.2 Bugs

[Grotug]

I get visual draw problems when I SHIFT run down passageways. As @ moves, the passageway doesn't draw properly, making travel disorienting.

Sometimes in town there are display glitches so that I can't see the shops.

OS X 10.9.5

Clvl 25 HE Ranger on Dlvl 26 @ a vault, with my stash tucked away in another room:

Something commands you to go far away.
You resist the effect!
You sink through the floor.
This place seems reasonably safe.

Well, there goes my stash. Luckily, I held onto 2 copies of each spellbook this time (There was a Hydra in the vault). But I didn't get to loot the vault, yet. I also lost all my identify and magic mapping, and my highest dps weapon that was just a smidge too heavy for me to use. Ahh wellz, c'est la vie.

I've suffered the same thing on more than one occasion (including fairly recently). No real solution to that problem, unfortunately.

It's a bug that nexus doesn't help, but saving throw seems to count, so try to max your WIS against level-teleporters. Not a problem for priests, but HT warriors might have a big problem with that.

Some little glitch that has been on for a while now: when you press 'i' to look at your inventory, the first line is way too long.

(Inventory) Burden 15.7 lb (164.2 lb remaining). Select Item: (Inven: a-d, / for Equip, | for Quiver, - for Floor, ESC)

Over 120 characters, when the usual window width is 80.

If you have nothing in your quiver and you press 'e' then '|' then an arrow key (up or down), the game hangs.

Rods of light can be identified by use while blind.

EDIT: No, actually they can't. My rod is not ID'd, but I know what it is, because the normal activation message was printed.

Tiny error:

In Godly Insights there's a spell called 'Pereption'.
Just saying.

This isn't a bug, but an idea about how to make ID'ing stuff less annoying. When you reach CL20 and you pick up an item you immediately know whether it's average, magical, or ego. Instead of having to pick up the item to discover this, maybe you could discover it by just walking over the item.

The problem with id-on-walking-by is the following: suppose in the heat of the battle you step over an artifact, it gets identified and you miss the message. Then that artifact is permanently lost.

Another point I'd add to your suggestions is that pseudo-id should tell immediately whether an item is excellent or splendid (and what its splendid properties are). It is information you could get anyway if you go through the hassle of equipping the item. The only situation in which those two extra turns could matter are when a rogue is sneaking through a dangerous area, but I think that it is a change worth the convenience.

Can you remember where you were on the level, and what was happening?

in a long corridor shooting arrows on Ibun. He spelled a lot and a cold vortex behind him kept breathing on both of us. Somewhat south of map center.

Artifacts are still incredibly rare; basically, the game feels like "no artifacts" option is set.

I have played 2 characters to the endgame, each found about 5 artifacts by the time stats were maxed. Is this going to change back to a reasonable artifact frequency ? It is incredibly boring to only find dozens of armors of elvenkind in greater vaults.

That's a bug. I don't think it has been fixed yet.

Yes, I dimly remember reading a post by Nick where he said it got fixed. Unfortunately I cant find the post anymore.
