I'm finally coming back to DD after a long hiatus and I have run into problem after problem. One of which seems related to the Troll King. I've been doing some experimenting and here's what I have so far:
1) enter troll cave, trigger cutscene but don't kill the king - game works fine
2) after 1, re-enter the cave (you don't even have to kill any trolls, just going back in seems to do this). come out and the game will crash either as you initiate conversation or get near an npc. Actually, the game crashes pretty constantly, giving an error in div.exe.
I've tested this scenario out fairly extensively. I have a savegame after 1, but before 2. everything is great as long as I don't enter the cave. Once I do (and come back out - either walking or teleporting), the game becomes unplayable.
I'm now trying to do this the "correct" way by talking to Homer before entering the cave, will update as I finish.
Sorry if this is a known issue, I did a search on "troll" and didn't find this specific scenario mentioned. Just a heads up for those thinking about going back and replaying this game...
Edit: Talked to Homer and got the quest like normal. Entered the troll cave and attempted to clear it - got halfway through and the game crashed straight to desktop.
Next, I just entered the cave - did not trigger cutscene or anything, just went in. Game crashes straight to desktop shortly after I leave.
If I turn on software rendering, I can see an error message in div.exe at offset 0015b9xx (xx seems to change). Guess I don't get to do this quest, or even take the Troll King's 1.2k gold. Funny thing is that I'm *positive* I did this quest in my unpatched game back when it was new.
