After that I found that when I tried to do any mining I just walked in place, and combat with slimes, etc. resulted in no damage to enemy and enemy ignored me.

Tried to fix it by exit to menu/resume, but on exiting the game crashed.

 

Would you be at all able to see if this is reproducible as of the latest patch, 410? They appear to be working currently.

 

OK, I'll return to the mines. This was an intermittent problem, however, so absence of proof is not proof of absence.

 

UPDATE:

I returned to the mines, and after maybe an hour (maybe longer) I encountered a ghost. I fought it until it had really low health and then it stopped being targetable (see last message in chat box). The health on the ghost immediately started recovering:



The ghost continued to recover health until it was fully healed, but I could not damage it and it didn't attack me:



You can see from the chat box that after healing myself I had again tried to attack the ghost a couple of times without success.

After preparing the above report I returned to the ghost and was still unable to damage it and it still ignored me.

Memory usage at this time was: 5,112.3 MB and rising steadily despite me not doing anything but stand there motionless.

 

I continued mining, and then this character showed up:



As I post this, my WASD keys don't work, Lord Nyrond is ignoring me and none of my attacks do any damage. Holding both mouse buttons down didn't cause me to move either, and my pet ignored my command to attack Lord Nyrond.
Will try exiting to menu and returning.

...and the game crashed.

 

Observation: these problems have never emerged before I have been there for at least an hour. Most people would leave before they became encumbered, but I prefer to waddle slowly across the landscape with lots of ore. Such multi-hour mining sessions are probably unusual.

 

Patch 412: have not observed any problems after more than an hour in the mine. I was attacked by a total of four ghosts (they attack in pairs now) and they have all died and stayed dead(er).
