Crash Hazard
Wirtistopheles has a tendency to crash on dlvl 12, particularly around TDL Bosses. So far this has only been observed in games with multiple players, but caution is advised solo as well. For safety, pack your things and/or backup your character before starting dlvl 12.
The Hellfire: Fixed team has an idea what's causing the problem and a fix will be added in the next release.
Other Things
The following things are not crash related.
In Single Player HF:F, The Dark Lord will not drop random magical items (RMI) as the readme indicates. (He always drops the Butcher's Cleaver instead.) This is a carryover from a multiplayer change and will probably be fixed in the next release.
Since the suffix "of Readiness" was disabled in Hellfire: Fixed, characters porting between vanilla HF and HFF may experience morphing if they have weapons with extremely low-level enchantments (Readiness, Sturdiness, Strength, Vitality, etc.).
Thenryb brought to my attention an oddity which exists in both vanilla Hellfire and Hellfire: Fixed involving the suffix "of Decay." For those not familiar with the affix, "of Decay" provides a substantial +Damage% bonus but decreases by 5% with every successful hit (on bows, with every shot); upon reaching -100% damage, the item is destroyed. Thenryb noticed that his Black Razor, which has +450% Decaying damage in HF:F, regenerated its damage between games. After further testing:
1) Dropping an item "of Decay" on the ground, exiting the dlvl, and returning sets the Decay damage back to full.
2) Joining a new game sets the Decay damage back to full
Interesting bug, no?
