Most of you may have noticed this bug, others may have not, but anyway it will be posted!!
BUG: When you use the Shrinker weapon (Press '7' at gameplay to activate it), at the moment you shrink two or more enemies nearly at the same time, the game crashes! Don't know what it's the cause but I tell you this to have notion of this problem.
FIX: Don't use too much that weapon, use it once per like a minute to ensure proper gameplay. This has happened to me many times!

Bug
I think the bug isnt in the shrinker, but rather the FRAMEFFECT actor, as making actors spawn this has crashed me a lot oO;

Haha..
Hehehe, the above 'Guest' was me, too lazy to register at the time.
Just wanted to point out another bug was the codes, sorry if it's been said anywhere else.
Typing 'DN' without anything after it makes the player not able to jump, shoot, etc. ;o

crash test dummy
I tried to cause this bug on my system, couldn't make it happen. Maybe something OS related? I am still running 98se.

Serious JFDuke3D Bug!
Well, I haven't been able to get the game to crash when going wild with the shrinker in a room full of enemies in a simple testing map I made. Can you point me towards a specific map where it's especially common?
The 'DN' problem is interesting though. I'll look into it.

Well, you can try to shrink those two underwater octabrains on E2L2: Incubator. Some people say it crashes to desktop.

Shrinking underwater
I have got the same bug
It happened twice till today in two different locations i can remember quite well:
1. E2L9 (Overlord) in a pool (not the one at the start of level)
2. E4L9 (Derelict) another pool
( I also remember I reached the E2L9 without saving even once, and then.. well...i found myself kickboxing the case..)
hope my info help somehow tho...

Serious JFDuke3D Bug!
can you "unfix" a bug.
i remember that in the original duke3d release you could kick from both the weapon and the mighty foot key at the same time and it made it look like duke was floating in air. i thought this was a cool bug and im a little disapointed that its gone.

That was fixed in Duke 1.4, back in 1996, before the source code was released. The answer is a resounding "no."

I too have the Shrinker problem.
With me it happens when ever you shrink several enemies where there is a big background, like in a very large water pool or a large pitch black sky but the sky must stretch down the side of the map like when you are ontop of a building.
