Have downloaded the latest complete 3 versions of book of spells - and got to third chapter and it keeps crashing - error notice says -
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000094 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x0042182A ; program pointer is +6, ACI version 2.56.627, gtags (2,0)
AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal.
(Room 2 script line 9)
Helpppppppppp!
Hmm, it looks like a crash trying to display an empty line of text - Spyros, are you around? What is room 2 script line 9?
This is line 9:
DisplaySpeech (NONE, "After a long time...");
where none is an invisble char (something like a narrator)
Bos 3 is available for 2 years and no one has ever reported a bug like this ???
Are there any translations available for BoS3?
jane, were you using one?
Not really sure what you mean as a bit of a novice - just found out that my son donloaded The book of Spells Complete from GAG - and it says it is available for beta testing!
Spyros: is the new combined version using RunAGSGame to combine the parts? If so, it's possible this is a bug with that somehow which I can look into.
jane: for now, you might be better off downloading chapter 3 seperately, I imagine it is also available on the site.
Sorry for the hassle, hopefully we can track this down.
Yes it uses RunAGSgame but.
All parts until the 3rd work fine.
The error doesn't occur when part 3 starts but after you have entered the 2nd room.
There are also 2 more people that reported the same bug but I can't duplicate it in my pc.
Is there any DisplaySpeech in the game before this point, or is this the first time it is called in part 3?
It's the first time.
The first room is a cutscene with no displaySpeech
could you try this:

Unzip it into the game folder, and rename the game EXE file to "ac2game.dat". See if that helps at all.
