(Dead in the Desert) Known bugs list?

Post by predcon »

I know where the main thread for Keen8 is in the Release sub-forum, but it's 20+ pages long, and I'd rather not slog through it just to see if the one bug I've encountered has already been reported (The Lantern icon in my inventory screen on the overmap is re-darkened, as if I hadn't collected it, when I load a saved game in which I HAVE collected it, but I can still walk through the tunnel that requires the Lantern).

Is there a thread with a Known Bugs list on it?

I'm using the version that came in Keen8.2.zip.

Most of the bugs I know of are level\tile bugs.

Sorry to thread hijack - but is my version of the secret area old and buggy?
No matter which exit i use out of the last hydro level, I dont get a secret area. I can just take the submarine to get the last part, then beat the game.

Am I stupid? It's ok if i am, just pm me how to get to the secret level?

The secret level is the cave you enter by using the submarine to land on the nearby beach. The submarine arrives next to the elevator at the surface, but only after you have beat the last hydro level.

Are you saying the secret level is the devil's cavern? Or something else? I thought that was a regular level. :\

Yes, the Devil's Cavern is the "secret" level :P

I was in the Hydro Palace (if that's the first hydro level, the one with the spinning onion dome) on hard. I put the yellow gem in its holder and then walked the other way to the door past the three spikes. When I entered it, I exited the level, and part of the level was shown. It was handy, but I doubt it was supposed to happen. I downloaded the second version.
