Read moreI believe when Kingmaker was launched on console they still had the rights to it until they did not. Anyone who knows, feel free to correct me on that. Either way, I have not made any comment on Kingmaker so what other people have said therefore I will not comment on that. But if my first sentence is true then it will give them a bad track record. I cannot speak for Playstation players, as I play on Switch and XBox. Pillars of Eternity I have played on PC, so I cannot speak for other console on that game. Either way both of our experiences should not serve as an anecdote as it seems like different consoles have different issues, my mistake for generalizing. I am glad the game is running and playable for you, though.
Though I agree that a lot of games do not come out in a "perfect" state at launch. But that does not mean we should just take it and not criticize, otherwise the gaming industry will never get better for the consumer. You do make a good point on marketer...
Thanks for the understanding and rest assured, we're working hard to fix the hiccups Wrath still has.
As for Kingmaker - technically, we haven't - we've lost the rights even before the release. There was a short transfer period where we were contracted to support the game, but it lasted just a few months or so. After that we've stopped receiving any money from the game whatsoever, and all updates past that point were made for free, in good will.
Sadly, at some point supporting it further became a burden financially and increasingly difficult in terms of infrastructure (the further we split, the slower and harder all processes and communication became). So eventually we were forced to stop development. We've attempted a few negotiations to reconsider the status of the game, but unfortunately, that didn't work out.
Read moreOn console almost none of the games like pathfinder work perfectly. It's something I've realized.
Playing on ps5, I've played, both pathfinder games both pillars of eternity games and a few more and yes each of them have alot of issues but the devs have stated why they couldn't keep updating kingmaker
And they said that the fixes will be coming up. The pathfinder kingmaker game from what I understand wasn't even launched by owlcat on console I could be wrong if I am I apologize
But from what I've been seeing alot of people have been saying that here comes another kingmaker. Even though there's a clear difference
I've seen a decent amount of people complaining about the games graphics even while the devs were open about it stating they lowered it so the game could be more stable
The game isn't quite stable yet but alot of the people in this thread and others are straight up lashing out at the devs and others because the game isn't perfect...
I just wanna point out I appreciate your understanding on behalf of the team :-) We're investing a lot of effort into this. Sadly, delays happen, but sometimes they simply can't be avoided. But the work goes on.
I would also like to know if they are still looking for a fix, or if they have found a solution and is waiting for the eta from consoles when the patch will be up. If they have not found a fix then unfortunately we are looking into more months waiting, my friend :-(
We're still testing the fix, but it looks promising so far. Hoping to see it in the march patch.
Same, I’ve been waiting for almost two weeks now since it was specifically asked in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_Kingmaker/comments/zpccvy/saving_error/ whether the bug was still there after the patch and it clearly is. At this point my investment in the game which made me play like 5 hours a day for several weeks has gone down quite a bit, which is good insofar as it makes me less reluctant to just skip that area, but I would like to know if there is a patch coming within the next month or so since it would be particularly annoying if I skipped those quests and went on with the game and then it gets fixed immediately after.
Hello, we have a solution, but it will take some time for it to reach Switch, ETA for the patch is DLC4 release on 7th of March. Patch will also contain all updates from PC 2.1.
We don't want to rush a patch but we did rush the main release out of the door. The console peasants won't mind!
I honestly find it very hard to put any faith in these statements if you've got nothing to back it up. Hell ill take a development journal where I can actually see some progress/in work footage instead of just new empty promises.
You still can't tell if the next patch is going to bring any texture improvements. Currently it's 1.09 or 1.10 but we can guess on the day it comes out if it actually does anything.
The closest patch is a major pre-DLC4 update, in line with 2.1 on PC. It's HUGE, contains hundreds of changes and fixes. The texture update is more or less ready along with it and -should- be included in the patch, but we're currently testing its stability. There's still a chance, albeit minor, that it will be pushed back into a separate update if it isn't performing well. That big patch is scheduled to appear before DLC4.
Thanks for the reply. And apologies for pushing. Hope you’re well.
All good, thank you, I am now fully at your disposal :)
I do think that’s the case but seems it didn’t work for everyone or they messed it up with a more recent patch. Storms were working for me In that patch but insect swarms were still broken.
Most of the weather has been fixed, but there are some locations, such as Leper's smile, where it can still bug out. It is on the list of future fixes, most likely after the major pre-DLC patch.
