Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Bug in 3.0.52.425: merchants and shrines

Suddenly I can no longer interact with merchants or shrines. They simply do not respond. I can attack a merchant, but attempting to talk has no effect. This happened just after I leveled-up to level 5. I'm running Win10, i-7.

EDIT: should mention that this problem occurred right after I started a new campaign with new characters, and then tried to reload a prior save. Ever since, the prior save is broken with these symptoms. The campaign still functions.

Have you tried with different characters, if you recruited any companions?

If you attack property or pick up any owned items around merchants, can you provoke a dialogue, or do they just drop their reputation and eventually start combat?
What about pickpocketing, and waiting for them to notice something missing?


Please email supportdos2@larian.com, with a description (or link to this topic, and your latest save (or a Dropbox or Google drive link, etc), as well as your oldest save when this started and (if available) latest save where you can still interact with merchants and shrines.
Each save is a folder in the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2\PlayerProfiles\<ProfileName>\Savegames' folder. In Windows Explorer you can zip file(s) and folder(s) by right clicking on it/them and selecting 'Send To | Compressed (zipped) Folder'.

See the edit to my original post. The problem occurred after I had started a new campaign, then loaded my old one.

I can attack a merchant. They don't fight back. But I lose reputation and they will die. I'm on vacation, but when I have a chance I will email my save.

Thanks!
