My game has already crashed 4 times upon equiping an armor piece to my character. This does NOT happen Always though.
There must be sthing wrong with either the attributes or the textures display.
Doesn’t matter which armors, i think.
it happened with any legendary items looted in the unnamed city (like the red dancer corsage for ex) it has also happened with light vanir and dafari gear.
The issue is happening by Simply double left clicking on the item (even if you’re naked) and even by right clicking on the item.
Then when you log back in you find your character with “duped items” : the one you were trying to equip upon the fatal error is now equiped on your toon while you have the exact same piece in your inventory and none of these pieces are “ghost” pieces, i checked.
Both pieces are true armor pieces that will give you attributes/ temp resist, the same durability it had upon crashing and even the nice colors you used to dye it.
This seems to be a pretty recent bug to me.
And a bug unknown to me. Early on, I thought double-clicking an item was the only way to transfer an item from one container to another, or dragging it across which is subject to dropping it.
Somewhere (probably here), I leaned to shift-click the item for a transfer and have been using that ever since. The only exception is when I transfer armor from a thrall’s inventory to his equip slot. Does it happen then?
Regardless of your answer, let’s go to the basics.
Could you verify your local files through steam? I wrote a short guide here if you have not done that before.
If you use right click on an item it will automacly equip it to your char and put the former equiped one in the slot of the one you’ve just equiped (very convenient for armor pieces)
Try it if you have not already.
Wow, I wish that would work for me ! That’s a really good one.
Unfortunately, due to using a Logitech G510, I bind tab to autorun and would end up with a flat nose.
Thanks, may have to rethink my bindings rather than go get a hammer, start looking through it, checking stabilities, stash my hammer somewhere I will forget …

PS: I saw a video somewhere, bet you did, too
PPS: Bound autorun to capslock, tab now available. Chat may look a bit funny coming from me to global …
Jim1: WELL HELLO THERE, NEWBIE
Noob: Aaah!
Friend: What’s wrong is someone stealing your stuff?
Jim1: NO I’M JUST SAYING HI TO A NEWBIE!
Noob: …
Jim1: DON’T BE AFRAID
Noob: I… should probably move, huh?
Jim1: I HAVE A TIGER IN MY POCKET FOR YOU. HERE, GRAB IT.
Noob: Stranger danger, STRANGER DANGER!
Jim1: WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING, I’M JUST BEING FRIENDLY… Noob deletes character, crying profusely
Friend: Jim, buddy, switch to decaf!
good question.
The crash is pretty rare though, i would say it happens 1 time out of maybe 5 times i equip an armor piece, which you well understand i only do when switching from a biome to an other one. So it’s hard to find out unless i force myself to use the “drag item” thing from now on ( assuming this is what you meant by “not use quick clicks”)
Anyway it’s not the worst bug i have ever seen but the devellopers should still have a look into it imo, especially since it can allow players to duplicate items like legendary armor pieces from the unnamed city for ex.
After reading the whole thread we would be grateful if you could clarify some details before we relay this info to our team
You mentioned this crash happened when equipping any armor, but a bit later you seem to specify that this armor comes from the Unnamed City. Is it then happening when using legendary armor?
Also, the way you equip this armor from your inventory, could you specify it as well so we can try to isolate the issue?
Finally, as a side note, have you tried verifying the files on Steam just in case there was some corrupted file somewhere that could cause this?
You kill a boss you find an armor in his inventory, you directly right click on the item from the boss inventory.
you Simply are ready to use your maproom to an other biome, so you put yourself naked as it’s pretty cold at the mounds in dafari gear, you wait untill the very last moment before equiping your heat resist armor, and then once you do (Simply by double left clicking on the item), no matter which piece, you crash and duplicate the same piece.
Yes sorry, Jim had asked me the same and i think i forgot to answer (sorry jim)
Of course i did, Always the first thing i do when i encounter a problem.
I’ve been Following Shadoza 's suggestion since my last crash and i haven’t encountered the issue anymore.
So it might be the fact to use “double clicking” which messes up the thing, i Don’t know…. hope it can help you guys figure it out.
Armors:
Climbing gear
Medium Armor
Flawless Khitan Captain
Has happened to me twice now. Both times I had the climbing gloves and boots equipped. I had removed all other armor. When I reach the top or bottom where I’m climbing, I start to requip by double clicking on the original armor boots, to do a swap. The game crashes.
The second time this happened, when I restarted, I noticed the climbing boots had turned into the boots I was trying to swap. The climbing boots were gone and the Khitan Captain boots were duplicated down to the amount of damage.
I have experienced a similar bug on TestLive with other boots. Got a fatal error on 3 different occasions when trying to perform different actions involving inventory and boot slot both on my char and the thrall I had with me. Does it happen for other pieces or can we conclude the boots slot is somehow causing an issue?
