Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Peculiar bug

Let me start by iterating that I am not even close to sure as to what may have triggered this... occurrence. And because the area of the game that I am currently in may be involved with the glitch, I beg that you please be warned that spoilers may be involved subsequently in this post.

I am currently (not very far at all) with the story, on the beach near fort Joy. I have located Fane and The Red Prince, and recruited them both. Some short time between recruiting them, I noticed that the message saying 'Quicksave Successful' was no longer popping up after each F5. I checked the save data, and the game did indeed save, so I thought nothing of it.

About 5 minutes later, I found an ancient turtle. He destroyed me. However, mid combat, I noticed that all of the journal updates, save confirmations, and any other type of notifications seemed to all be postponed, and, all showed up quite quickly during battle with the turtles.

It seems to be nothing game-breaking, just peculiar, but I imagine someone may want to investigate.

Thank you

Sounds like the script engine got stuck with the journal updates and notifications being postponed. The battle with the turtle probably caused it to "unstuck". Does the issue happen even after the battle with turtles? Because a bug like this can cause more permanent problems with your save file at some point.

That very well may be the case, as I died in combat and had to reload. However, all of the notifications popping up could have been after I chose to reload the game.

Is there a way to prevent this issue, if that is indeed what the problem is?

Edit: No, since then everything is running smoothly. Saves seem to have returned to being smooth and not locking up the game for a few seconds, also. Couldn't tell you if it will happen again, never seen that kind of thing in *any* game.

Thank you

Go back to the save before the script engine got stuck is the only method to prevent this from happening.

It's usually 1) Engine bug that causes a script to hang 2) Badly written script function.

Seems like it is doing alright now, thank you for all the help
