Dungeon-be-gone and IA, Wait a bit before leaving the area Options

[Sikret]

Dungeon-be-gone is compatible with Improved Anvil; however, Improved Anvil's "Item Randomizer" program initiates in that area at the beginning of the game and it takes a few seconds before it can fully initiate (there are a relatively large number of variables which need to be set in that area). On slower computers it will take about 40 seconds (after the initial auto-save) for all of the variables to be set properly by the game's engine. On faster computers, it can be done faster. The point is that you should not rush to talk to that fellow and leave the area too quickly before all those variables are set. You don't need to do anything special, just stay in the area for (at least) 45 seconds (real time) and the variables will be set by the game's engine automatically. Then, you can talk to that fellow and leave the dungeon without any problem.

What happens if you didnt wait?

What happens if you didnt wait?

If you are already in the middle of your game, you don't need to worry too much. The risk is low. When I tested it, I performed the test on a slow computer while another software was also running in the background doing its regular scan. It's even probable that the computer was lagging and that's why it took 40 seconds for all the variables to be set. I was actually testing it on an over-slowed system. Nonetheless, for future game-throughs, it's not bad if you just wait for about 45 seconds there before leaving the area.

As for your question, if the variables are not set properly, the "Item Randomizer" feature of the mod will not work as intended and in its full capacity. You won't face any critical bug.
