Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems Cannot leave Battlefield

Doh..patched to 1.42 from 1.32 and have just entered Battlefield 1 from chapter 3. When I select leave battlefield, I just return to the entrance point of the battlefield. How do I now leave?

By reloading - as I did. Where do I get my splitting arrows now? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

hi...tried that first...looks like i am stuck there....this patch has stuffed my game i think....it also now crashes to desktop if I click to summon a doll..dubble doh

Yep, your hosed for now. The only option being that you start over, which may or may not be an acceptable option for you. I am in act4 where this all happened to me. Effectively meaning I am done with BD. Maybe I will circle back around in a few months and see if there is a patch, or maybe I will play BD again in one of my 'in between' game phases. It was fun while it lasted. Speaking for myself, I have no fun treading the same ground again in a game (at least not so soon after treading it the first time around). For now...I am done.

Good luck all.

Thanks - yup, I gritted my teeth and started again from scratch as 1.42 - hopefully that will work all the way now...I also resolved NOT to patch again whatever happens!
Cheers

It seems that I have this same bug. I just entered the battlefield in act 3 for the first time and cannot leave. Luckily I saved before entering the battlefield, but it will suck if I have to play the rest of the game without the battlefields. No chance of me restarting. This is already the 4th time I restarted and its not going to happen again.

Holy crap this game is buggy... how many gamebreaking bugs can there be? They've got to be going for a record!

Luckily this time I had a save before I entered the battlegrounds but rest assured that I will _not_ be purchasing any larian products in the future. This is just plain unacceptable.

Kiya: "retrieve arrows" and "convert"? I'm not having any trouble getting enough splitting arrows, but maybe you play on hardcore and use more arrows than me!

Slant: Yes, it's buggy. But neither of these is a game-breaking bug. You can play just fine without battlefields or dolls.

Have you played Sacred? That game (also just released) is just as buggy, and has had the same rapid series of post-release patches... with each patch leading to new bugs.

Some of the greatest games of earlier years were also super-buggy on release. Daggerfall... Ultima Online... this isn't just Larian's issue, and being bug-free on release does not correlate at all with being a great game.

Better QA across the industry would be great, and I certainly hope it becomes more widespread. But in the meantime, a prudent gamer waits a couple of months before buying a new game, so that the worst problems can be fixed. Personally, I've never been a prudent gamer (nor are any of us here, apparently <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ), but I greatly admire those who are!

Hello,

well you can't leave BF because some value are corrupt.
This bug will be fixed in the next patch.

Sorry about this.

Srikandi, me and hardcore? NEVER! I'm a combat whimp. No, it's ok, I had luck and could enter the BF in Act 3 at the end of the game - thanks to Jolly pointing this out - now I can split again. I have no skill points for convert/retrieve. I did not waste them and kept them faithfully for difficult monsters. (now I have too many <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> )
