Editing Talk:Engine bug (section) From DoomWiki.org Warning: You are not logged in. Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history. Anti-spam check. Do not fill this in! == Anyone ever encounter the "Arch-Vile Save Bug" ???? == I can only confirm this glitch in Doom 95. This glitch occurs after you save your game while an arch-vile is attacking you (or another creature). While your being attacked (the yellow flame is visible) go to the menu and save your game. If you try to load that save file back up, the game will lock up causing a fatal error. Has anyone else ever encountered this or know if the glitch is prevalent on any other versions of doom? [[User:Simdoom|Simdoom]] 04:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC) : This is related to the "... not preserved in save games" bugs listed on the page here. Doom 95 behaves differently to Vanilla Doom in that it just crashes instead. [[User:Fraggle|Fraggle]] 04:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC) :In vanilla saving and loading the game while an Arch-Vile attacks cancels the attack (apart from the flame animation). This is actually an extremely useful strategy against Arch-Viles, since it basically makes them totally unable to hurt a wary player using the trick. Even though it's one of the most lame vanilla exploits in existence, we should probably mention it in the Arch-Vile article (plus of course in the related bug article(s) as well). -- [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 05:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC) Summary: All contributions to DoomWiki.org are considered to be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 International (see Doom Wiki:Copyrights for details).
