FWIW, this used to work prior to the DW2 merge. Now I also get the same error on my MIPS based Big Endian system, so it seems like a regression. Happy to help tracking it down as time permits.

I've added some FROM_LE_32 to the CommonInits method in polygons.cpp - I'm not sure if this will completely fix the problem, or not, but at least it should be a start. On a related note, the entire DW2 game need to be properly tested for endian-ness as well.

This hasn't seemed to have completely fixed the problem. I'm deassigning myself from this bug, as it needs someone with a big-endian system to properly test the merged DW2 codebase for endianness correctness

As far as I can tell this is fixed now...
