I tried that as well, but the problem remained.
It had to do with the save file, simply because it is the only variable that didn't change when I was testing.
Picking an old save file or starting a new one doesn't raise any issue.
Lastly, I don't think the glitch is linked to the ruins, but to the otherall mecanics of the game. The glitch occured in the Royal city for me and for some it was in diama's floating temple.
I think it is about the save counts.
I tested a few things, the bug seems to occur so far after a certain number of saves.
So far I tried :
- Completing the game 100% with no saving require (with and without the help of the debug room). The glitch didn't occur
- Doing a normal run (30~50 saves) the glitch didn't occur
- Doing the game with as many saves possible, the glitch happened and past 150 saves, I couldn't talk to any NPC anymore
- Booting a new game and saving repeatedly a the start, I got the same results as previously
I have noticed a few glitchs with the birth mecanics as well, but they are unrelated and you really have to screw with it to get them.
Whoops. My fault. I Didn't mean to go that high on saves. Just got tired of getting that "failure to render angel face" error. I was going through the game like butter with a hot knife, completed the entire thing in 11 or so hours I think? I noticed that when I started to slow down a bit, a lot of the errors had stopped.
