strange, this is after installing 1.42 and starting a new game? when i restarted the summoning doll works fine, i've had no crash problems.
i only did on my original 1.32 to 1.42 game.
but that was the only game breaking bug on that game. other things like item weight issues persist. oh and there was a pepper shaker i couldn't click on to use or it would crash the game, but that was minor... i just sold the stupid thing.
