    It looks like the releases that fail on Windows 8.1 were built with MinGW on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Ubuntu's package list says mingw-w64 is 7.0.0-2) rather Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Ubuntu's package list says mingw-w64 is 5.0.3-1). Could set the release script to only run Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or figure out if there's something that can be set so the builds on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will be compatible with Windows 8.1. It's likely the Angband releases are also affected.

      Nope, 4.2.2. works fine for me

      Although I think NILWIN the kobold wander won't get very far ...
      No, I don't have a clue 'bout C, and I'm not starting my own variant.

        Now that I check, that release (like almost all of the prereleases before it) was generated on Ubuntu 18.04.

        If you're willing to do some testing, you might try the earliest prerelease for Angband 4.2.2. That was generated on Arch Linux with mingw-64 8.0.0-1.

          Tulon the High-Elf Ranger says everything looks fine ... .

          Actually, it doesn't, there are quite some up and down staircases which shouldn't be there, and do not work either. But at least I get to make a toon and into the starting town.

            LOL! Nicely done.
            Famous last words! I think Nick thought the same at one point...

              Saw this tonight playing the nightly at angband.live. Asked about it in chat and it was suggested I report it here. That's a LOT of light, but it does say 'Starlight' afterall!

              Sorry if this is hard to read. It seems to have shrunk the image and compressed it somewhat.

                Yeah, that's probably too many

                Thanks for reporting.

                  That would be easily enough to kill Morgoth in a single turn.

                    Nick's newest release, 2.0beta1-119-g67203a37, was built on Ubuntu 18.04 with it's older version of the MinGW cross-compiler. It would be interesting to hear if that works on Windows 8.1 from those who had trouble with the previous releases.

                      Further to this:
                      • Note that Eric is responsible for the build adjustment
                      • Also note that there are two more updates since that last one, and Eric's responsible for all the work in those too.

                        Nick, here is the randart file for the crash bug on object menu look. At least I think so. There were 9 randart files in the archive folder; attached is the most recent one. I assume that is right, since I haven't played since my most recent character with the crash. randart_0fcdd84c.txt.zip

                            The latest build has made Combat Regeneration - one of the big features for blackguards - optional in an attempt to make blackguard playable for advanced races (high-elf, adan, druadan). Let me know how that goes if you try it.

                              I had a couple of goes with a high elf paladin and then I had a go at FA 1.4 with a high elf paladin. My conclusion is that blackguards aren't the problem. The problem is a whole bunch of other stuff that changed between 2.9.3 and 4.x: monster power, monster density, improvements to pathfinding etc.

                              I mean just compare these 2:

                                Yeah, it's more deadly. But in all the bugs I reported to Nick, that isn't one of them. More deadly is a feature. As Nick so often says, "FAAngband has that!"
