Can you please attach a save game file where I can just enter the turbo lift to reproduce the crash? Thanks!

Definitely. Here you go. UnLha and merge data folder (data/mazes folder contains the save, and is overwritten.)

Steps to reproduce from this save:
1. Launch Day Of The Viper (skip into)
2. Click the green disk icon at lower-left corner
3. click the LOAD disk icon in left panel
4. LOAD A PREVIOUSLY SAVED GAME. Click YES at center of screen
5. Click the cylindrical turbolift in right panel
6. USE TURBOLIFT? click YES at center of screen
7. Select floor 2,3,4 or 5 from button in right panel

Problem will occur a couple seconds after lift animation and sound begins.

I finally had time to check this. Thanks for your detailed report how to reproduce this. Game tries to rename a temp file, this apparently is not supported in the Kick 1.3 emulation code and has to be patched which I already did. I'll need to do some more tests though and also fix another problem that I have detected when testing the current version, expect an updated version of the patch in the next days.

Awesome! Looking forward to it. Thank you for working on this - I wish I was more familiar with 68000 assembly and the amiga toolset. I have to write a bug report for Ikari Warriors as well (a less severe issue)

Sorry for the long delay, but I finally got around to fixing this properly. My first approach was way too complex and convoluted, I now simply patch _LVORename() in dos.library. This works fine and causes no side effects.

Thanks for your patience and excellent bug report. I hope the game is fully working now. :)

Ha! Resolved at last. Playtesting is already pretty far along and it looks great. Excellent work! I never doubted you :)
