So I was playing the arena and kicking butt, when I got to the what I think is the final fight (I had just won Heartseeker and some other cool stuff, and was fighting the Onyx Golems). I started by sending in my best guy, he hit them, managed to kill one. Being all smart and tactical and all that, I then wanted to double check the stats on these golems, so i clicked on the image of one of them on the side to bring up their info screen. This is when it all went to heck.
The first thing that happened was the "Level up a character" screen popped up from one of my characters. Apparently one of my heroes had gained enough XP to level, but the quest and loot screen had taken priority? I've seen this happen other times, but normally it just goes; "Hero A leveled. Look some loot/ a quest screen! Hero B leveled." However, when it happened mid battle, it was ugly. I also noticed the battle background music immediately went away once this level up screen came up.
After applying the level up (which worked fine), I checked out the golem's information screen, and closed it (no problem). It was still one of my other hero's turns. However, he could not move. I could click on a different spell, but it wouldn't let me cast it (flame arrow). I also noticed the background music was still funny, and weird stuff from the world view was flickering (clipping?) in and out of view At this point, I tried clicking skip turn, and I believe I tried clicking other abilities, but none of them did anything (I wish i had thought to hit auto resolve/auto play, didn't think to try them).
Hitting escape brought me to the main menu, and after hitting "Back to game", it brought me back to the world map. My hero's were fine, on top of the Arena (with the monsters, and the arena icon has that greyed out look to it that quest makers have when they are in progress and that location is useless). My hero's were capable of moving, moving off and onto the arena did nothing. Hitting end turn made the end turn button frieze up.
I realize this is very detailed. I provide this much detail because I hope it will help the programmers see exactly what happened. Sorry if it's overkill.
I will provide links to the save file in a few minutes, I gotta go download the proper program onto the computer. Probably should have done that first, sorry!
OK, link to game in broken state should be : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59263671/Broken%21.EleSav
Link to a saved game from right before I attempted arena: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59263671/Arena.EleSav
That should allow somebody who knows more about coding than I do to see if for themselves, if they want to.
OK, final update.. after closing and exiting FE, then reloading the "broken" save... hitting end turn worked, the golems attacked me (I was on the square next to the arena), and I seem to have received all the awards. It was still a weird series of events though.
