Can we opt out of the AppFlyer tracking part? I'd really prefer not to participate in this.They've apparently decided to remove it and I appreciate their quick response and action on the subject. I think a lot of people would be more willing to opt-in if it was a toggleable setting when first launching like many other games use including Pillars of Eternity.
Only if you opt out of further updates (GOG allows to stay on previous patches and Steam has some older patches available as well, for example), I'm afraid.
Nevermind this, guys. The change is being reverted. Thanks for the feedback.
My game is not loading after this update(doenst even get to the main menu). I was playing with mods, what should do? Uninstall mods or wait for them to update? And if they dont update?
Mods are often broken after the updates. Wait for the authors to update the mods. Also it often helps to clear the cache by deleting all files except saved games, portraits and screenshots from the following folder: C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous

In short, it's a switch to a newer version of the engine. Not much difference for the user, but a ton of difference in tools for the developers, which will be needed for the upcoming DLCs.
Will the AppFlyer tracking apply for the console patch when it comes out as well?
It will make its way there as well, but most likely not in the nearest patch.
People who participate on social media and whatever aren't represetntative of the player base, so polls and shit aren't a good solution
Technically, they are, but only on a global scale. They don't allow you to see a specific impact from a post or an ad campaign on the sales of the game. And effectiveness in these aspects becomes very important as the game becomes older and available resources for its further development decrease over time.
I understand that this app may bring more precise results towards the goal of making more "effective" content for us but asking the community and doing voting pools wouldnt still be enough to generate likable content?
I mean, the memes are great, the art that you guys produce are epic but is it not viable anymore to ask what new content is worth instead of going all-out with a tracking app?
If nothing else, can you show us more in-depth of what this app is all about? More information about the app may make the backlash of being forced to have it more bearable
It doesn't install any software locally or track what links you click in your browser.
It basically connects together the data about clicks on ads and links in our social media, on our side, and data about fresh launches of the game, letting us know a certain post or an ad campaign was successful.
Is anyone else having an issue with the game crashing whenever they use judgement?
Any mods installed?
No, nor mods or dlc. Its actually judgment causing the issue.
Please leave a bug report then via ALT+B, we'll take a look.
Can't you just get the same info on steamdb and infer using sales and stuff on other platforms? Seems like a bit much to spend time and money on this when it's already freely available. Unless there's other reasons for it.
It's an automated tool, no more no less. Manually collecting and analyzing this data is woefully ineffective.

Also, try verifying the game files and refreshing the cache by deleting all files except saved games, portraits and screenshots from the following folder: C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous
By optimized does this mean the high risk of CTD when resting at port in Midnight Isles has been fixed? Edit: What disappointment. Even with a reversal this has completely ruined my faith in the company and I won't buy Rogue Trader. What a waste. Good luck to you in the future.
Should be improved! Would be grateful if you checked and came back to tell whether it became better.
Hey guys. Thank you all for your feedback on Appsflyer. We hear you loud and clear, and apologize for all the outrage caused. Honestly, it was deserved, and you being so vocal is what mattered in this situation the most and what helped to make the only right decision:
The third party app will be removed, all data already collected - wiped, and the old version of EULA put back by a hotfix within ~24h.
My personal gratitude to you for being so passionate to not let us make a step in the wrong direction.

Update: Hey guys. We heard you loud and clear. We will be reverting this change, removing the software and putting back the old EULA with a hotfix in about ~24 hours. Sorry, and thanks for being so passionate and vocal.
Owlcat,
You are not a big enough company to survive pissing off your meager customer base with a short sighted move like this. This was a terrible decision. Undo it before more damage is done.
That is true, and thank you guys. It has been just done:
Everyone has cell phones right?! Can't wait for wotr mobile version, everything has 1000AC and you have to pay 1$ to lower it by .5 AC.
I see you sir are a man of culture, heh.
Change is being reverted. Thank you guys for your feedback.
What can even motivate a game studio to add a literal spyware into a 2 years old release, knowing full well it will piss everyone off? Vodka? Krokodil?
I cannot grasp it. On existential level.
An attempt to optimize the budget spent for the game promotion. To prolong its life cycle and make it better discoverable by new players. Nothing inherently malicious, to be fair. But the reaction was by a margin more negative than looked on paper (and I can absolutely see why), so it wasn't really worth it in the end.
Hey, just letting you know that this patch completely broke my Divine Hound's Judgement. Attempting to activate any Judgement now results in a complete lock-up. A brief browse of the Steam forums reveals that I am not the only one affected by this. I have never downloaded any mods.
Thank you, yeah, we're aware of the issue, a hotfix is already in production.
A question as I'm confused on a point about AppFlyer. I've seen people mention on the Steam forums that this would log clicks on ads when you're browsing around to gauge advertising. So this app/service would have been running without the game open, just sitting in the background processes of your PC logging everything?
It wouldn't be running without the game open. But it's no longer relevant either way as the software has been removed.
