Actually, the game crashes when you kill the Wights. Interesting. ;-)

So maybe it's a combat issue? In such case Tow Dragon should take care of it.

@Steven: how do you kill the Wights? I killed them first with a range attack (Zealots), then with melee attack (Griffins+Centaurs) and I got no crash. In both cases I was able to collect the Crypt contents and move on with the game.

If it's always reproducible, can you give the exact steps in battle that lead to the crash?

I apologise - it is not an "always" bug. But about four or five times when I partially killed the Wights with melee troops, it crashed when killing them. But I did that just then and it didn't crash. So I would say that the crash happens "between sometimes and rarely" when killing the Wights with melee troops.

Summary and description updated as per your notes. However I'm still unable to reproduce it after 5-6 attempts. Can you check:
- if it's related to a particular stack in your army fighting it?
- if it crashes when you attack or when the Wights retaliate?
- if it's related in any way with casting a spell before?
- if it's related to the angle of attacking?
- if it only happens when Wights are the last stack killed?

I can get it to crash by:

Attacking the Vampires with the Royal Griffins.
Attacking the Wights with the Centaur Captains.

Then, I think whenever you are about to kill the Wights with a melee troop the game crashes.

Also, on my try just then, when the Royal Griffins hadn't finished off the Vampires in the first hit, trying to finish them off with the Rogues caused a crash. So I don't think it is just related to the Wights.

I thinks it is related to bug which should be already fixed.
Bug number 0000288 ( http://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=288 [^] )
So it could be still caused by two-hex creatures.

Is this bug reproducible on a specific map (not savegame) or on a savegame from VCMI 0.8? Or I have to compile the sources of 0.75d to check if it's not already fixed?

I think it's just a dupe, please reopen if I'm wrong.
