Dark Forecast impossible

Post by DonBordello »

Hello there

I played Dark Forecast with a friend and there seems to be some kind of bug in it. The Lich spawns in wave 42 along with some monsters. We kill them all in the same round and still get the defeat-message even though there were no enemies left. We loaded the game again and again and it was always the same thing.

Anyone experienced something similar?

Looking at the code, it seems that the last unit you kill must be a side 1 unit; if it's side 2, you don't win. Which is, of course, a bug. I'm guessing this is probably what's happening to you.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a simple way to distinguish between side 1 and 2 units since they're both red, but you can count on the Ancient Lich being side 1.

Thanks for checking it out! I guess this wont be fixed too soon. So we will just try it again and this time kill the Lich last. Will report back after it.

It'll be fixed in the next release so it's not going to help with your current playthrough, but it's actually also really easy to fix it by hand by editing the savefile, or probably also through the debug mode. But if you can just kill the lich last, then that's the simplest way.
