Hotfix #32 Now Live!

Hello everyone,

Today we bring you a new hotfix, which addresses some common reasons for crashes and other gameplay issues.

This hotfix will also take care of the issue causing parties of 3-4 players to crash when a second player joins an already-started conversation. (Warning: We're pleased to assist in making your party chats run smoothly, but you're on your own when it comes to avoiding small talk.)

A big thank you to all who reported this issue and all the rest!

For our Mac players, we know you’re still waiting for Patch 9. We’re continuing to work on the stability of the build on Mac, but need some more time to address the issues.

CRASHES AND BLOCKERS

Fixed a crash caused by RAM corruption that would occur when loading into the tutorial.
Fixed a crash that would occur when booting the game using Vulkan.
Fixed an issue prompting the 'Mid-dialogue saves are currently disabled' error while not in dialogue, which was preventing you from saving.
Fixed a crash that would occur in 3- or 4-player sessions - if one player is in a dialogue and another listens in, the game no longer crashes for everyone else.
Fixed an issue in multiplayer causing the UI to disappear when switching from listening in on the host to listening in on the client.

GAMEPLAY

Fixed an issue causing your equipped weapon set to switch from melee to ranged or vice versa when loading a savegame.
Fixed an issue causing some of Shadowheart's spells to disappear from her prepared spell list after saving and then loading that savegame.
Fixed some visual issues with the Vision of the Absolute spear.

Hotfix #31 Now Live!

Hello everyone,

We’re entering 2023 with a new hotfix for you, taking care of several crashes, bugs, and more!

We’ve heard of tough crowds, but we think our NPCs may have taken things a little too far. Previously, if you played an instrument badly in front of them you gained the permanent cold shoulder. While this might sound like a cool pauldron, it just means they would ignore you for the rest of the game. We’ve explained stage etiquette to everyone and they should be a little more forgiving of your instrumental ineptitude. Also, Shadowheart now remembers where her artefact is.

As ever, thank you to everyone who took the time to report these issues to us.

CRASHES AND BLOCKERS

Fixed a crash that would occur when carrying out an action immediately after having prepared another one.
Fixed a crash that would occur when loading a savegame made after killing Gekh Coal while controlling one of his zombies.

MULTIPLAYER

You no longer get stuck in a Long Rest if you agree to go to camp as you enter a dialogue.
You can no longer interact with nearby objects while listening in on another player's dialogue.

GAMEPLAY

Playing an instrument badly in front of NPCs no longer makes them refuse to speak to you ever again.
Fixed projectiles looking like they materialise out of thin air when you shoot them.
Fixed several issues with how Dror Ragzlin and his lackeys react to crimes and other questionable business.
Rebalanced the Spider Companion's Entomb action to be a little weaker.

CINEMATICS

Fixed Shadowheart walking in the wrong direction to get the artefact from her pod on the nautiloid.
Fixed the background and animations for the paladins when interacting with the hag's talking door.

Fixed several characters' portraits - including Krolla's, which showed off her hip instead of her face.
Fixed the placeholder icon for the Poor Performance condition.

ENGINE

Fixed screenshot previews not uploading to Steam Cloud, which resulted in missing savegame images when syncing on a new PC.
