In Version 0.48 when starting a new adventure using a full party of adventurers, the game behaves anomalously, the game refuses to let you interact with any of the character's menus or floor objects, and monsters completely ignore you. The game acts as if you did not have a party at all with one exception, using the number keys, you can cast spells as normal and kill monsters.

I just ran a test where I brought only one character on a new adventure to the original DM game, knowing that it would dump you where the mirrors were. On initial run, it functioned as if you had just started a normal game, without a party member, I couldn't even run into walls. The game did let me click on the mirrors and resurrect/reincarnate and functioned as normal afterward.

I've also tried this with a fresh copy of RTC v0.48 in a completely different folder with the exact same results.

To be honest, I haven't tried v0.48 yet as I've been too busy, but this sounds like a major problem. I guess it plays fine if you start the game normally, through the Enter button?

Yes, when you use Enter, instead of make new adventure, the game functions as normal. Great for starting original DM and DMII games. As for CSB, I'll have to wait till the next update.

As the upgrades were to the editing power fo the game, you can always play CSB using V0.46 by manually retyping the link

Same problem here.

In 0.48 when you make new adventure you also don't see the normal CSB 'intro' - it just starts immediately when you've added your chars and hit the 'enter dungeon' button.

Interestingly when it starts in this weird mode, not only can my char can walk through those sparkly blue barriers, but the worms can too!

I'm in a bit of a pickle because although 0.46 does work, by DM chars that I want to play CSB with are from 0.48 saves so I canny use them.

Fixed for V0.49

This bug is sufficiently bad (it effects all imported characters) that I'll release the next version very shortly. If anyone has spotted any other bugs, please say so now so I can fix them before the release!

The character walking through the blue hazes is a symptom of the bug (the game thinks there are no members in the party, so it doesn't stop you), but the monsters walking through the hazes is not a bug - they did that in the original game too...
