Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General game-breaking bug

i have no idea what is causing this, but something is causing my game to crash consistently.

once i got to luculla forest, no matter if i go to the mines, the temple, or hiberheim after a few hours of play i can no longer return to cyseal without the game crashing.

i spent multiple hours trying different paths first, but it matters not. cyseal becomes off limits to me.

so i just went straight to the ice king so i could finish the two well quests before it bugged out and figured i wont need to go back anymore, so whatever.

now i am progressing further into hiberheim and its crashing when i try to return to luculla forest. this is breaking the game for me. i cannot progress if i cannot go back to luculla forest.

i have no idea what is causing this to happen, like i said multiple paths and choices made differently still end up with the same results.

i like the game, but this is getting to be too much. this will be night 3 with zero progress and rolled back to an old save because this is happening.

i guess ill come back in some months and see if you have patched it.

Have you update the patch ? Current version is 1.0.82

I'm guessing you are on a 32bit windows too?

yes i have updated, and no i am on 64 bit win8

im pretty annoyed at the moment, because the game is broken for me after many hours of play, so your assumptions are probably irritating me more than they should.

it may not help, but try un-installing the game and then re-installing. there might be something wrong with the root files

anyhow, in hiberheim i have 2 path options from the last safe save. i can go to the forge or to the jail first. if i go to the forge the game breaks. if i go to the jail the game breaks.

crap on top of crap. waste of money.

Its the Void man.


Its coming after you. Devouring tapestry of time and Rivellon with it - behind you.



- oh and of course, win8 was made with Source magic, which is tainted and corrupted and only strengthens the Void.

It is more than likely something in your environment / settings causing the issue rather than a bug otherwise many other people would have reported the issue.

So You can either

A) Blame the issue on a "Bug"

or

B) take a methodical approach to troubleshooting.

First - does your system meet the minimum system requirements? Especially the video card.


Minimum

OS: Windows XP SP3/VISTA/7/8.1
Processor: Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.6 GHz or equivalent
Memory: 2GB (XP) / 4GB (Vista/7/8)
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 8800GT 512MB or ATI 4850 or equivalent
Hard Drive: 20GB

Have you got the latest drivers for your Video and sound devices especially?

Have you tried the suggestion to re-intsall? You may wish to use the steam game file integrity check to make sure you have a good install.

The issue could be a corrupt save game or even a hardware / overheating issue etc etc.

Sounds like a corrupt save game. Very aggravating. This is the reason why I manually create save games at arbitrary intervals while progessing, you never know what might happen.

Anyway, the game has 5 quick save slots and 5 autosave slots. Try loading an older game and see if that works.

And of course, if you're having a guaranteed crash-save, send it to Larian.
They can do more with an actual savegame than a statement here in the forums, without any information at all which will help them accertain your issue.

Help them, and only then can they help you...
