Hello,

I have encountered a game breaking bug in ACT 1 namely the invisible shriekers, after looking online for a while i noticed that i am not alone in this issue. Some people suggested loading a previous save in which the area is loaded for the first time, this however has not worked for me. Loading an even earlier save would mean losing hours and hours of progress (this is my first playthrough). And besides that i don't think it is too much to expect the games mechanics working properly. I am now stuck in act 1 i cannot trigger the Alexander fight and it kinda pisses me off. Maybe i could try teleporting around their view area but this would still mean i cannot call in help from the seekers for the fight. Also people online suggested that this problem persists throughout the other acts, so even if i do a workaround now i would still have to deal with it down the line and frankly i don't want to do that.

So my question is, if there is a hotfix for this already. Maybe a mod made by a fan or another known workaround?

Thanks in advance

There was a patch last time this was an issue. No word yet on any hotfixes, but I'm also hoping for one. Unfortunately, a hotfix is very unlikely to help your current Act 1 save, since the map only loads once, apparently. As such, your map already has invisible shriekers and the hotfix is unlikely to fix it. Teleporting around them truly is your best bet for Act 1 at this point.

As for a workaround, I can only report what apparently worked last time this was an issue. From what others reported, disabling all mods before loading into a new Act for the first time will keep the issue from occurring. So, once you beat Alexandar, save the game and disable all your mods before progressing. Once you arrive in the next zone it should be safe to re-enable your mods.

Thanks for your reply, il disable all my mods (i only have the run speed mod and 1 hairstyle mod btw) before i go to the next act hopefully that will fix it. I will be sure to make alot of saves before. Anyway the dragon slane killed the shriekers for me so it's all fine now. Still an annoying bug i hope the devs can fix it
