Game Crashing Errors FAQ
A few people, including myself, have been experiencing seemingly random game crashes while playing the Nethermancer class. I will try to assist with fixes and work-arounds, but would greatly appreciate other people's experiences with crashes to try and find the cause.

Auto-Save Crashing

Some mods conflict with the Nethermancer class and cause the game to crash during the auto-save when loading between areas. If you wish to keep the mods that conflict, you can by-pass this by pressing the Esc key and hitting the manual Save button before changing zones. It's tedious, but will save you from potentially having to relaunch.

Below are lists of confirmed and suspected mods that cause crashes to happen.
Note: I will add more as they come up. User feedback is much appreciated.

Confirmed:
  • Synergies HIGHLOOT mod

Suspected:
  • Weighted Companion Cube Pet mod
  • Synergies MOD

Launch Crashing

After the Nethermancer class has an update, some people may experience crashing as the game is trying to launch. Unfortunately, this is related to the character itself, and the only work-around is to remove the character's save file from the save directory. More than likely, this will result in the permanent loss of the character and any equipment or items they currently had equipped or within their inventory. I recommend that you back up your save files before removing them from the directory, in case they are able to work again in the future.

The save files can be found here:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\modsave

Open the numbers folder, and you will see a list of all of your characters, as well as the recovery files for your deleted characters. Existing characters will have their names in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, while restore files will be in all lowercase letters. Remove both the character save and the restore file of the Nethermancer character from this folder, and your game will launch normally.

I just wanted to mention that the launch crash was traced back to the update that added the class outfit. If you haven't had any launch crashes since that update then you should be safe from that issue.

And I'll also mention the zoning crash that I do know how to avoid.

Auto-Save Crash 2

There's a bug with Carrion Call and Wall of Flesh, causing characters who use either of those skills to occasionally crash to desktop when travelling between areas. Unfortunately the only guaranteed fix is to not use those skills for the time being.

I haven't managed to fix this bug yet or even pinpoint why exactly it's happening. After all of my tinkering, I'm beginning to suspect it's simply the game having problems with the sheer number of units created by those skills, or possibly how fast they are being spawned. And of course, I'll keep looking into that in the future.

I consistently crash going into and out of the spider cave in act1 while playing nethermancers. It's happened on multiple characters now.
Running bagmod-lite as well, doubt that has any effect.

I recently was having problems playing a nethermancer with my friend over the internet. specifically either I or both of us would crash upon him joining my game. Or I would be invisible and then crash at the next loading screen I went through; while playing on a game he started. after a lenthy troubleshooting process we determined that impale was causing the crashes. I currently have impale at level 2, and we started having these crash problems around the time I got impale to level 5 or 6. The mod load I used, up until another friend who used essentials wanted to join, was just the nether mancer mod and a respec potion

My friend and I were playing together over LAN yesterday using the Synergies Mod. While zones were loading my game would freeze about half the time, his was fine. I believe this is the same bug that Uncle Jellyfish was writing about. I hope this will be fixed in the future. I love the Nethermage but have retired this mod for the time being.

Hello, unfortunately I've started having issues with the nethermancer as well. I really like the class, but the bugs just make it too frustrating to play at the moment. I noticed in the comments section of this mod there were others with the same issues. So that these issues aren't forgotten, or lost in the comments, I just wanted to post them here so that hopefully this wonderful mod can be fixed! :)

issues:
  • almost invariably (in my experience, I won't speak for others) at some point around lvl ~12-18, after a map transition, other players will be unable to see the nethermancer player's character model, spells, or pets. The nethermancer can still join and load into a coop game, there are no crashes, they are simply invisible to all other players. This persists even after reloading the character, restarting the game, and restoring from character backup. Its possible this is related to certain abilities which can be acquired around that level range as was mentioned for a crash above. (this personally was the most prevalent issue with the nethermancer, I seldom experienced a full crash)
  • the nethermancer player may experience a crash when trying to host a LAN/mp game and another player joins their game
  • as others have noted, there can also be random crashes on loading during area transitions

Based on a number of comments and discussions, I'm not convinced that Synergies or Torchlight 2 Essentials causes these issues per say when used alongside the nethermancer, but it does seem to increase the probability that the player will experience them.

tl;dr
This is a wonderful class mod and I really appreciate the work that you've put into this Haette, and I hope you are able to find time to address these issues since I'm still not very familiar with GUTS yet :)

I cannot get out of the beginning area without crashing, the only mod i am using is the nethermancer mod. I have tried deleting mod save files as well as delete mods to make sure everything is up to date. thanks'
