[2021] Update 1.1.5f is live!

Crusaders!

A new patch 1.1.5f is here! We've fixed the issue with Hold Person, Mass, and it will no longer hold you back! We've also fixed crashes upon loading some areas on macOS, and optimized some aspects of the game to improve its performance.

Known issues:

If you leave Drezen right after Anevia gives you the Night Gamblers quest, it may be impossible to speak with the gamblers and Sosiel when you return. Workaround: speak with them as soon as the quest starts. We will fix this issue in one of the future patches.

In Alushinyrra some NPCs may end up underground sometimes. If that happens, save the game and reload it.

Beware of possible plot spoilers!

This patch brought an experimental fix that is supposed to finally deal with the cursed Mac crash problem. If you are a Mac user that had crashes in Gwerm's Mansion, Commander's Tent and multiple other locations, please comment if this patch solved your issue!

Yup, there's still a lot of background work on QoL stuff and crusade and mythic balance. Some of it should land in 1.2 which is not that far away.

Doing what we can :-)

No date that I can announce yet, but early next year is a reasonable expectation.

There are some mythic balance reviews incoming in the upcoming major patch (1.2), although I don't know the details yet. Think I saw something there regarding the GD.

Mac version has a particularly annoying and hard-to-pinpoint bug that has been randomly plaguing certain Mac configs for about three months now, crashing a certain set of locations on load. Been a nightmare for both us and these players, but finally it seems that the team nailed it, at least partially. We really would like to see if it helped.

As for windows crashes - they are not as common, so make sure to report them.

If you report all the bugs about blood kineticist you know of, via ALT+B, and provide a detailed description of each + preferrably a google spreadsheet with all of them listed and described, and then PM it to me along with the e-mail specified in bugreports, that may greatly increase the probability of it getting fixed sooner.

Most of the serious post-launch problems have been fixed by now. You should be safe to go at this point. I know my opinion will be kinda biased here, but I've personally completed the game a few weeks ago without encountering any issues beyond minor and/or cosmetic.

What's wrong with them anyway?

Respec companions from scratch won't happen in unmodded game, they had lives before you and their skills reflect it. That's one of those minor but important things that gives them personality, instead of making them plastic dolls. Refilling belt items or autobuffing is also unlikely, as it automatizes the gameplay too much, and in our opinion that'd kill some of the classic RPG magic the game has, slowly turning it into a conveyor. If you wish to do it anyway, you can always use mods, that's the reason why we give the tools to make them in the first place :)

Some less dramatic QoL things like inventory search and moving stacks are on a "would be nice to do" list, so it's mostly about time/budget constraints and will most likely make it into the game in one form or another at some point.

Work's definitely going on over optimization, but I don't know how much of that will land in 1.2. Try the game after this patch as well, some areas have been optimized.

Please PM me the e-mail you've reported those bugs from, I'll check.

Companions are persons, they have their own lives, achievements, wishes, and we believe that simply letting Commander pick those when they are met doesn't serve the game's atmosphere well. It's a design decision that is very unlikely to be reviewed.

Can you please PM the e-mail you've specified in that bugreport?

We do our best, thank you :D

Is it limited to black surroundings while in the tent, but the game is otherwise interactible, or the game crashes completely?

Thank you, we're investigating.

Not sure it will help on mac, but worth a try at least. Please don't forget to backup the files, and please tell if it helped.

If you mean you went to chapter 4 without doing his questline, then it's failed, yes. Unfortunately the only way to deal with this is to go back to chapter 3 and do it.
