I am late in act3, had been zipping back and forth to the battlefields during the act many times. Now i recently visitted the black bishop, and i went to unload loot there, and suprise, im stuck, im just only able to warp between the camp, and whereever in the battlefield world i used the ability. Can i send in the save so it can be fixed? Or is a patch on the way? Im reading that plenty of people have similar problems. Though im not going to start over again. this is a fresh 1.41 char, and patched to 1.42

Me too. "Leave Battlefield" goes back and forth between two battlefield locations.

Same here, stuck in battlefield from start of Act 3 so I can't use them ... and I desperately need the exp! Still using my original character but I backtracked to a savegame pre v1.40 (lost two good swords in the process) before installing 1.42. I have already had to replay several sections owing to bugs and I am not about to restart the whole game again until I know it is stable!

Seeing as this bug was already reported, and it's pretty severe, it will have a high priority for the next patch.

The bug only applies to act3 and 4 battlefields.

That's nice, but when you saved in the battlefields you can be pretty screwed...LIKE ME!!! And it's not the first I have to start over an act because of a bug. No wonder people prize this game for it's 'long gamespan'... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Well I made peace with the fact that this game is bug-riden <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />, so I might as well give some usefull information to the Larian guys: The level of the battlefield access drops with this bug. I had level 3 access which dropped to 1 (on the little teleport icon) when the bug took over. But I can still enter 3 dungeons.

But seriously, was this game Beta-tested???

I think the game was beta-tested, but I'm not sure about the patches. I can understand why the devs don't want to delay a patch that players are clamoring for to give someone time to do a complete play-through... but I think it's worth it, since otherwise you get this endless cycle of patching the patches. Just my two cents <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I was a beta-tester for the patches for another game, and we found plenty of game-breaking bugs that would have been shipped if we hadn't been there. (A few were shipped even though we'd reported them, but that's another story <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

Another note on the battlefield bug: did a bit of testing when I found the battlefield 2 key in act 3. I was able to enter the battlefield once, do some trading with Annabelle, get her quest, and return. When I went back and traded with the other merchants and got their quests, I couldn't return. So it didn't kick in right away. Hadn't visited a dungeon in either game though.
