Hey Starrok - thanks for being such a great community liaison! We all really appreciate it :D

Speaking of this, I had a question about my playthrough. I'm playing Aeon, but I did indeed respec mid-way through chapter 3. Based on the notes, it seems that if I want to go for the "secret" path that you can go after being an Aeon (to do with a certain guest in your court) - the save is bricked for that?

If so, although that's disappointing - that's alright. I kinda wanted to start over, now that I know what I'm getting into more - but just wanted to confirm there's no point in continuing if I was intending to go that route.

Heya, and thank you, trying my best <3

There's a solid chance you won't be able to finish choosing mythic powers there, yes. So if you want to be sure, better start anew. Or as someone else in the thread, pray to Desna and hope for the best.

Any potential ETA for this patch regarding respecs?

Considering how critical the issue is, I'd estimate within a week at worst. Hopefully, within the nearest days.

Only after.

Hi, yes I have. I’ve done it twice actually, once in the release date and again after the patch last Friday. I have the ticket numbers for both

Please PM them to me.

For those who are wondering, the commander's tent loading for Mac is still broken. Maybe one day, it will at least become a "known issue" considering it's a game breaking bug so early in the game. Jesus Christ

Hello, did you leave a bug report via the in-game tool? And if yes, did you receive your ticket number on your e-mail?

Not fixed yet. Everything that's fixed says "fixed" before or after it. "Known issue" suggest for the player to not to skip the scene of getting a mythic level and to not retrain your character.

The mythic paths being broken for anyone who has retrained their characters is a pretty huge one so I'm sure they are working on getting the Known Issues section fixed really soon and just put that there to let us know they know and that they are working on it.

Yup, correct.

Interacting with the table in Drezen to manage crusade affairs now results in an infinite loading screen for me. I haven't respecced prior to the patch and had no other issues. Specifically the infinite loading screen happens when leaving the screen.

Edit: For some reason it works fine if used from the world map. Infinite loading screen only happens after using the table in drezen.

Edit 2: Random encounters now also give infinite loading screens.

Edit 3: Ok, most areas other than Drezen now have an infinite loading screen upon entering for me. The loading goes very, very slowly until 100% but then the map just doesn't open regardless of how long I wait.

Edit 4: Tried loading earlier saves. Azata path specifically. It seems that saves before finishing the Above the Clouds quest (commander court one) are not affected. Saves made after are affected.

Try deleting all files from C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous\, except for portraits, saves and screenshots. That should help. It's a known cache glitch.

TLDR: If you respeced after chapter 1 you may be f**ked and find out in chapter 5.

Not exactly correct. Problems -may- appear for Swarm, Golden Dragon and secret path if you respec after Siege of Drezen. Avoid respeccing until it's fixed if possible. Legend is listed in patch notes as problematic but more recent reports indicate it's fine.

What's wrong with swarm? I'm going swarm this run just curious.

For now Swarm may be affected by respecs on main character after siege of drezen. Avoid them until it's fixed if you don't want to encounter issues in late game.

Only massively painful points like the demon and prison are obvious.

The patch notes say "Re-training your character will break late-game Mythic Paths, such as Legend, Gold Dragon, Swarm-that-Walks, a secret path", so I guess the patch notes are more up to date info on this?

Yup, it's a more recent information. Check my other answers in this thread. But note that it doesn't change that some saved games (with demon, lich etc.) may not be repaired retroactively as noted in the original post.

Thanks for supporting and stoically coping with all the hardships of the release!

Out of curiosity, could we get a technical explanation of what the bug was? As a programmer I'm always fascinated to peek behind the curtain at what issues other shops run into with their products.

No hard feelings if the answer is "No" for any variety of reasons.

Afraid I'm not a programmer myself to give exact details, and it's definitely not the right time to distract the tech team itself to give an interview about it. They're extremely busy now.

Thx for reply. One more short question if there is known issue with prison and dreams quest of Arue in ch3? As it does not start for me, can it be related to this issue? I'm on Azata path.

Can only guess at this point I'm afraid. Will probably be clearer later.

Hey /u/OwlcatStarrok thanks for the updates - I appeciate you must be getting hammered with questions at the moment.

Do you know when in Act2 the threshold is for when it would be safe/unsafe to respec? There is a big difference between "any time in Act2" and "After you have locked in your Mythic path"

Thanks :)

Seems to be the Siege of Drezen. If you do it prior, you should be fine. Also, a fresh update from the tech team - seems that Legend isn't affected after all.

Is it possible that issue with companion quests not appearing in Act 3 at all be connected with main character respec?

Hi! Unlikely.

Is it only respec of main characters or companions as well? As I made 30+ hours in ch3 after respec few companions. It would be critical for my time to drop this. Ah ok did not saw reply before which answers my question. So should not be affected by companions.

But other question arrives if I enter the respec of main character and the cancelled it, can it break my game?

Only main character. Companion respecs should not be causing issues. Not sure about the cancelled respec, probably shouldn't.

A fresh update after the patch: while some of the respec issues have been addressed, late-game mythic paths (Legend, Swarm, Gold Dragon, secret one) seem to still be affected. Try to avoid the feature for now, the problem is being worked on with maximum priority now.

Thank you for saying nothing. Come on, man; when and why do they bug out? Give us some f**king specifics so we can ascertain whether we're affected yet or not. What flags are f**ked up, from where and when? And in what ways specifically does it affect us?

We need to know whether we should just shelve the game or not, and you're really not helping by giving non-information. If my game is f**ked, I want to actually know before I waste even more time just to find out that I have to start over from the beginning.

Please keep it civil. If there was a ready list of places where the game breaks, I'd provide it.

Sadly the only way to pick out a specific spot is to receive a wave of reports about it and manually identify that it's caused by respec. Team's trying to solve it globally at the moment.

I see the patch just dropped on steam but it says

Known issues

  • Re-training your character will break late-game Mythic Paths, such as Legend, Gold Dragon, Swarm-that-Walks, a secret path;

Does that mean this patch isn't the one that fixes it, or is that a different issue than the Lich/Demon one?

Partially. Demon and lich should have received their fix, but it seems late-game mythics are still affected. Investigating.
