Repeated crashes

Here is an archive with the info. I experienced several crashes while entering hive store(I suppose due to a large number of characters inside at the moment) and several crashes in Mongrel when trying to interact with a shopkeeper.

First thing I would test is disabling mods, as this error has in the past been related to mods causing a crash related to dialog.

Error:
OGRE EXCEPTION(2:InvalidParametersException): Parameter called hideSide does not exist. in GpuProgramParameters::_findNamedConstantDefinition at ..\..\OgreMain\src\OgreGpuProgramParams.cpp (line 2214)

I have found the exact same bug report from the August 2022 viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16411&p=70769&hilit ... ist#p70769

Unfortunately no, the last time I saw this error coming from a mod the users didn't specify what they removed.

Interestingly, that thread you found the user has no mods, so there must be some circumstances where it can occur in vanilla too. Have you tried running the game in admin mod like suggested in that thread?

As for the mods, what I would do is keep a backup of your mods.cfg file and save, then load the save with no mods on at all, and see if it crashes in the same circumstances. If it still does, we know it's not mod related for you, and can proceed from there.

If it doesn't crash anymore with all mods off, turn on half the mods, then test again. If it crashes after that, disable half of what you turned on. If it doesn't crash, enable half of the remaining mods. Repeat as needed and it will quickly narrow down to 1 mod.

It seems I cannot reproduce the bug after importing my savefile. Overall, after I did this operation, I've only experienced a single crash in a different situation without an error window for five hours of gameplay.
