Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems Cant move after I walk away from patriarch dragon!

Like the subject says I cant move after I walk away from the patriarch dragon suddenly my character will just freeze and I can only move my camera up and down with the mouse, exactly what happens to me and a lot of people when we talk to the sleepers in broken vale. Only thing is this is the main quest so its not like I can just skip it and move on. The only thing I've noticed is I tried walking backwards and an NPC kind of appears when my character freezes only he has his arms outstretched and he flashes rapidly, I assume he was supposed to talk to me. I've tried the save and load trick that people say work for the sleepers, but no luck. Like I said this is a main quest I've really enjoyed the game so far, but this is ridiculous didn't they have any testers on this game.

Please release a patch soon, I don't really care about the side quests just make sure the main quests work at least.

Sorry, forgot to mention I am playing on the PC version 1.0.13.67. As far as I know that is the latest version and I recently tried the auto update program and it said my game was fully up to date.

Hey!

I have the same problem. The game locks down trying to load something when I'm leaving after talking to the Patriarch. It's just between the chest and Malachite ore's.

I've tried to load earlier save, but now it locks down at the same place. So it would seem to be some sort of a graphic bug or something?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

With regards, Reloo.

I've just installed the patch, which updates my version of the game to 1.3.13.100 and I'm still having the same problem. Seriously this is a really bad bug, did I just get unlucky, has somebody got any suggestions on how I can continue the game.

I have the same problem. Has anyone found a solution?

I fixed it!
Well, its fixed for me anyway.

I went to a previous save ( before entering the cave )and de-summoned my creature. I then re-summoned him after going down the elevator. Then i gave the seeds to the golden statues in order from 1-3 (last time i went 1,3,2).Inserted the lever to get rid of the flame wall and made my way straight to patriarch, not touching anything besides the enemies of course.
Then after talking to patriarch, i walked off with my creature without freezing and you should then be engage in a conversation with damien.

Hope it works for you guys

Yep, I can confirm that loading an earlier save outside the waterfall dungeon and going to talk to the patriarch as soon as possible fixed the problem for me, Though I hope everyone that has experienced this bad bug has a save outside the dungeon. Thanks Benny101.

Did the people who have this problem use quicksaves and quickloading in the Patriarch dungeon?

I didn't use quicksaves or quickloading. But I do have this same Patriarch problem. Although I could try what Benny101 has suggested I would lose a lot of my game. Once I discovered the problem I left the Patriarch from a save before I spoke to him (but I was already in the cave)and went on to do other things while faithfully awaiting a resolution.
As well, I hadn't given the statues their seeds all at the same time. I delivered one, then played at other things before gathering and delivering the other two, so I would lose a lot if I had to go all the way back to before delivering the first seed.
A debug from Larian would be ideal. I haven't played in weeks now. I'd hate to give it up totally.

which cave was the one for the 3 seeds. cant remember which one to go back to.

If I recall correctly, it's the very 1st cave, at the bottom of the hill you enter the Fjords in, behind the 1st waterfall.

Back to the problem at hand though, is Larian working on a debug? I have discovered that I have no saves before entering the Patriarch's cave.
