Tried to make a new adventure for the latest stronghold of Xarostak and got the crash below

RTC (V0.44) Diagnostic file - Sun Jan 07 12:24:53 2007

Error:

Actually, it seems to happen for any 'make new adventure'

But a clean version works, so it must be to do with having games in deeper folders or having old versions of games

The clue is in the line:

That file is probably from a beta-version of RTC and so incompatible with the real release. If you think it might be, then simply rename / delete the file and it should be OK. If you think that the file was made with a "proper" release version of RTC, then can you send it to me and I'll try and figure out what the problem is.

Hard to tell, but very possible

So the release versions aren't protected from reading beta versions and might crash quite nastily then?

Correct, the beta versions of RTC are a law unto themselves and don't mix well with the final release versions. In fact, if the betas work at all it's a minor miracle

I've changed the title of the thread accordingly.
