Just when you hover over the skill in the assassin's info screen, to check the list of enemies which receive more damage from assassins because of the skill.
It seems some patch ( the mid-september one? ) actually could have broken this. At least from some reports from others, Specaz as quoted below and Rhygadon on the steam forums who assumes the patch broke it. ( here http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1448063)
Including myself now i've thought it over, since it has actually worked fine before.
And/or...

Maybe its because my assasins list got too long?

I'm guessing this last assumption could be correct aswell actually.

I would really appreciate if someone from 1C or Steam could actually verify that the hotfix has been applied and is available. I've done the "Verify game cache" many times in the last few days and I did see a 14 file, 1Gig download occur, but my Assassins stack definitely still has the "Find Weakness" bug that crashes right out of OOTM back to Windows7. I have an older game save that has 20 names in the troop list for Find Weakness, but now all my games newer than that game save, instantly crash out of OOTM whenever I mouse over the Find Weakness list in the Assassins stats picture. Steam/Valve is so annoying. I really regret buying the game from them and wish I had gone with GamersGate instead.

Does anyone know where the Find Weakness list is saved/stored? I would like to be able to view this information. Perhaps the KB game scanner has this information some where?

i think its because of too long list of bonuses.

i synched my game (it gives me 14 bad files, too), and loaded my game - its still craches whenever i hover over "find weakness" to look for bonuses.

Yet, i loaded my earlier save (luckily i had one), where assasins have no bonuses, i even tried to kill one with backstab and get one bonus, and i can hover over it perfectly.

So maybe its realy because of too long list?

This must be it then.

Thank you

I bought Crossworlds through Steam, and I've been playing the Orcs campaign for awhile, with Assassins in my army. I ran into the Find Weakness crash early on, but I kept playing and just avoided bringing up the information window for the Assassins.

Yesterday, Steam downloaded an update for Crossworlds, and, sure enough, mousing over Find Weakness did not cause a crash. The "current bonuses" list had been truncated to 4 or 5 entries, which seemed a cheesy way to fix the problem. As I continued playing, the list grew again, and when I got to more than 20 entries, the Find Weakness crash came back.

Any update on fixing this? I've held off playing the game until this is fixed as gaming time is reduced for now.

Thanks!

Does installing this affect any saves?
