Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems Strange and Severe Bug - oh my :(

Been playing all day and suddenly this hits me:

After entering the Temple near the end of Act III these things are now occuring:

1) Every item I pick up, from a container or droped by a mob, no longer has a name and attributes. They only say something like "Quiver (46)", "Metal Shield", "Robe", "Strong Leather Belt" etc.

2) None of the items show up in the trade window when I try to sell them.

3) The Temple Merchant has the same problem with all his inventory items.

4) I went to the Battlefield and entered a dungeon and the same thing is happening there as well. Also none of the skeleton Archers seem to have bows equipped there, they just fight barehanded, but drop bows and arrows but the names are "Quiver (8)", "Shadow Crossbow", "Short Sword", etc. with no stats.

I did nothing unusual in this game (and I don't edit saved games either), and did not encounter this the first time through the game. It is pretty much a game stopper for me too since I save often and all my current quicksaves seem to have the same problem, plus I overwote my main saved file just before discovering what had happened. My last save that I could try to use sets me back 3 days of gameplay <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

This game was started under patch 1.44 btw.

I continued with the game and when I entered Act IV the problem cleared up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Luckily I was very close to Act IV when it happened.

Do you still have a savegame of this bug?
If so, can you send it to kris at larian.com?

Kind Regards,

Kris Taeleman

Did the bugs occur loading a savegame from a previous version and did the bug disappear when saving an old savegame in version 1.44 and then load that savegame again?

I just hit the same problem as Grim when I went to do the last two battlefields in Act 3. I have solved the rest of the act up to defeating the necromancer but have not picked up the crystal. I have sent a copy of the savegame I created when it happened to Kris.

The game was started after patching to 1.44, so all my saves are under the current version.

The bug cleared up when I went to Act IV, but now it is back and is ocurring throughtout the Act IV Academy and Battlefields.

Yes I do have my current save which has this problem, and I just asked Kris is he wants to see the save.

I posted earlier on this problem here:

http://www.larian.com/ubbthreads/sh...&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

So far, I haven't run into a problem in Act IV so hopefully it has cleared up.

It showed up for me about half way through Act IV again.

Saves have been sent to Larian so they are aware of it.

Also notice when this bug hits if you check a vendor they will have no weapons or armor in their inventory, but if you try to pickpocket them, they will have many items but all with the same bug.

This will be fixed in the next patch
