Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Tooltip bug?

Hi all!

First of all, excellent game! I'm having tons of fun with it.

Although I stumbled upon a weird bug and I'd like to know if there's a workaround, because I can't really continue my game because of it. Here are the symptoms:

-When playing as my main character, I can't see the tooltips for items and skills when hovering them with my cursor.
-When playing as any other character, the problem does not occur.
-I have tried reloading, restarting the game, restarting my computer, and the problem is still present.
-If I return to an old save (unfortunately the only other save I have is very old though), the problem does not occur.

It's weird, because the bug seems to be tied specifically to my main character, at that specific point in the game. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there any known workaround?

Thanks!

I don't recall anyone else reporting a similar problem...

If you start a new game, do the tooltips show up for both main characters? (would expect so, if older games work fine)

Please email supportdos@larian.com, with a description of the problem and the report.zip file generated by the D:OS support tool. The zip file will contain your saves, which should hopefully help Larian figure out what the problem is.


You may have tried this already, but if you remove all your equipment and drag a potion/scroll into each of your skillbar slots, does that make a difference? What if you then re-equip your items and re-assign skills?

Thanks for your reply!

You suggestion worked! I unequipped every weapon and armor from my character and I assigned random items to my whole skill bar, and the problem was gone. I'm not sure which of these solved the problem though.

Do you think I should file a report anyway?

If you didn't overwrite the save(s) where the problem existed, then yes, please do file a report.

It might be easier to just send one zipped save game folder, though (not sure the dxdiag report or graphics settings, etc, would be relevant, though it certainly wouldn't hurt to just send the full report.zip file). If you browse to the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin\Savegames' folder in Windows Explorer, you can zip a save folder by right clicking on it and selecting 'Send To | Compressed Folder'.

Thanks again!

I had same bug. Following Raze suggestion, I started unequipping armor from my character, and when i unequipped shield, another shield remained in shield slot (looks like it hasn't automaticalli unequipped when i equipped better shield). After unequipping old shield, bug disappeared.
Thanks Raze for advice and DaMonz for this thread.

Thanks for the feedback.
