[2023] :news: Age of War: Chapter 2 - Known Issues

Greetings Exiles,

We hope you’re enjoying Chapter 2! We’re already hearing the news of your bravery in the face of the strongest purges.

As we go into the second day of the update, we’ve been continuously gathering your feedback on the issues you encountered in Chapter 2 so far. Whether it is the forums, social media, Reddit, Steam, or anywhere else. We are all ears.

Here is a list of all the known issues we encountered since the release of Chapter 2. We are actively working on fixing these and we will keep you posted through all of our channels. If you have any other issues that you don’t see on this list, feel free to comment down below.

• Imbalance with some two-handed spears.
• Imbalance with javelins.
• Performance and connection problems caused by simultaneous purges.
• Minor bugs and glitches during the purge.
• In-game events crashing some clients. We already disabled all in-game events for this. They’ll be back up once we fix the issue.
• Some mods causing crashes and other issues after the update. We’re conversing with modders about these and helping them with fixes.
• Some players face an infinite loading screen when connecting to some PVE-C servers.

Andy Edit:
Adding a couple other issues that are commonly reported.

• Horses, especially the Wight Horse, may have incorrect geometry in their genital region
• Vendors formerly at Mek-Kamoses’ spire have been moved or outright removed. This is intended. You may still find two vendors plus the Master Carver NPC by Mek-Kamoses’ head, but the others have vacated the area.

Thank you for your continuous feedback and we hope you keep enjoying the new update!

We would like to keep this topic focused on directly reporting or clarifying issues. Off-topic commentary will be removed. Thank you!

The AoW Ch. 2 update re-introduced some of those world encounters from a while back, such as Blowback or the Serpent Caravan. Unfortunately, it appears these may also be causing the game to crash for some players, as we saw an increase in crash reports specifically citing some of these encounters. Until we know more and can find a proper solution, we have turned these encounters off again.

If you look around at the forums and see topics reporting crashes near Sepermeru or the Sinkhole/Summoning Place, that’s why.

We’re being intentionally vague there since it potentially affects balance, but Javelins are not statted in an intended way as of this update and will be revised.

This is intended. There are two vendors and the Master Carver by Mek-Kamoses’ head, but other vendors have vacated the area. Updated OP to clarify.

Performing some cleanup in the thread, as I’d like to keep it focused on reporting issues instead of opining about the process. It makes it much easier to identify specific issues to report to the developers; you have the entire rest of the forum to vent about how the issues affect you (which I know can really suck, especially for those that can’t seem to log in).

To that, we are aware of an issue causing unintended server load which may be contributing to (or is the cause of) reports of poor server performance, lag, or even not being able to log in at all. We have at least two ‘hotfix’ updates in the pipeline now. Stay tuned. Thank you!

For whatever it’s worth, work on the first hotfix patch began before AoW Chapter 2 launched, but it is unfortunate we’re running into some of these issues regardless. All we can do is move forward and clean up what needs to be fixed. That said, this is the last time I’ll be entertaining commentary that isn’t about objectively reporting issues in this thread. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree some of the patch notes could be clarified further at the very least.

Now that today’s patch is out, we can leave this thread open and I’d love to see how or if server performance and lag has improved, or if there’s any other new emergent issues that popped up. I updated OP with some extra notes. Thanks everyone.

Hm. These all sound like things that aren’t intended to be happening and I’ve brought it up with the team.

I’m also perplexed by this. Will ask around; is this happening to anyone else that you know of, or anywhere else for you (such as single player, etc)?

To be fair they did also mention the Funcom team and I’m happy to pass along good news.

But yes, also, I have all my points in Grit and Vitality

I appreciate your words of encouragement and will allow for that admittedly much-needed ego boost, but I’d like to ask to keep this thread on-topic for reporting anything new or of the status of server performance. <3 Thank you all!
