Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Next patch??

Welcome back, Mordan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> - due to your questions a few months ago we have this wonderful time table explaining which skills are broken - and you found out that installing the patch without admin rights leads to grave errors.

I'm sorry, I believe the Larians are so busy with Riftrunner - I fear they have no man power for a new patch. But, please, ask this Lar or Lynn via PM or email. I'm sure, you'll get an exact answer then.

For all those, who have forgotten/don't know = the link <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

[color:"yellow"]Game still buggy, click here[/color]

Maybe could be this Carrie: The bugs what he can see he want this'll be fixed, and what he can't see he don't care about this. Maybe they can fix this some day but i think this will not happen now, cause they are working on Riftrunner. So i think this guy'll wait a long time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

I have sayed it and i say it again, this bugs are defective appearance.
Well i think it would be nice if a new patch appear and all bugs be solved. But i think it is not implicitly necessary.

Addendum:
I read about plans for a fix about Radeon and DirectX 9 from Lar in the tech section - but only one post, so I don't know, if this is still an issue.

The most part could be defective appearance bugs Barnabus, but the bug skills for me is more than just appearance or you don't agree with me?

Suppose this: You want to be a Ranger char, your skill have some defective appearance what don't work for nothing, is just your view you said, but your damage is horrible and don't have chance to do some critical hit or more damage and your char is the most weak of the planet.

There is total 12 skills in the game and 3 of them are broken that is 25%. When 25% of the skills in a RPG that are skilled based is broken i say that the game is broken yes. I love this game, i think it have a great story, perhaps not the best class model but good inough but the broken skills seriously damage this game and i hope they will fix them so i and many with me can finish this game. Yes i know you can finish the game without theese skills, just take other skills, but if you want to become a ranger type character you wont. I can live with some bugs in a game but not skills in a RPG!

Hey Mardaneus(Mordan) my poor friend i think is better you go to home and rest, camon go with me.


Ahhhhhhhh they are appearing, they try to kill me, ahhhhhh my head.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Ok, i agree with you Mardaneus, on the point of bug skills, i don't think this is so hard to fix as they can't do this.

Shyon, i know that it is not good if a few skills not working correctly. Particularly if you would play a Ranger. But not all Skills for a Ranger are broken. when I notice a skill is not working, I take another one. Some Skills for a Ranger are working fine and are very effectiv.
You know what i mean?

"There is total 12 skills in the game and 3 of them are broken that is 25%."

There are 12 paths, each with 8 skills = 96 skills

I know what you mean, this don't do the game unplayable like Carrie(right?) said.

But you know what i mean too, when i say if these skills are working you would have more "fire power".

I know you know this, so it would be better if these skills are not in the game, if we can't use it.


I don't want to discuss this anymore, is just lost time, isn't work and isn't work, this is what matter. I never tried to use these skills cause i always knew they are broken. And is a lost for the game too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />

Which skills are broken? You've mentioned crossbow, so what are the others? I apologize that this is off-topic, or at best a tangent to it. Also, in what way are they broken?

Saturn, please take my link, the yellow one a few posts above and scroll down until you see the diagramms.

bow (dam. 8-99)
Skill: augment damage +5 = max dam. 98 this skill doesn't work
Skill: bow expertise +5 = max dam. 98 skill works but only effects recuperation
Skill: True shot +5 = max dam. 98 this skill doesn't work
all other arrow skills work but partly depend on monster resistances

Crossbow (dam. 24-69)
Skill: augment damage +5 = max dam. 67 this skill doesn't work
Skill: crossb. expert.+5 = max dam. 68 this skill doesn't work
Skill: True shot +5 = max dam. 75 this skill works, but bonus is too low
all other arrow skills work but partly depend on monster resistances

sigh.,

Aura of Command tends to let a game crash in higher lvls - so I only find 7(?) skills not working .

Furthermore you can see the skill "Augment Damage" has only an effect on melee weapons.

Ah, NOW I remember you ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> You were the one who did this mass of calculations until I almost lost my head, didn't you ?

I can only say, numbers don't count much for me, no matter what you say, because I'm weak at maths. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I have never care about skills properly working; I was content with them working at all ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Apart from that, personally, I don't expect another Patch, although I would really like to see all those things fixed which are now "busted" by "work-arounds". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

You are right. I have not played for a while so i mixed up path and skill, me stupid. But there are rely just 88 skills sence i never gor so far that i can pick Path of the Divine, in despair that my ranger wont be able to fisnih the game i have quit playing. I have several characters around lavel 20 to test things but never got far in the story.

I have made a poll on the Swedish CRPG (Computer Role Playing Game) mail list to all that onws Devine Divinity. Question was if they would look at the upcoming Riftrunner title, only 24 answers so far (decent amount of answers on so short time). One answers Yes, 20 perhaps if they fix some of the bugs, three answers no. Divinity are a liked game on the mailing list but alot of uss are unimpresst that the bugs are not fixed yet and the broken skills are the most irritating bugs. My guess is there there is alot of Divinity owners that is going to think twice before buying a second title before the major bugs are fixed in the first one. Yes i think broken skills are major. And the inability to fix the skills that have been broken sence the release are astonishing.

What i was rely hoping for when i started this thread was to get a message that a new patch was in the works. I still hope for a new patch becurse the game will be on my shelf untill then. I and lot of others will not look closer at Riftrunner untill they do fix the bugs for all we know Riftrunnel will also contains buggy skills that they wont fix. Guess i will be back in a month or so to look for the path.

And YOU crying for a new Patch? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> You are really ....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

NOW!!! Im rely pissed off.. Yes i have not played for some time, stoped right after 1.34 was released, sence i want to play a working game. If you can not accept that that is yout fault not mine. If you are so stupid that you dont notice the flaws in this game you shall perhaps stop using a computer all together. I have not been insulting in any way, just askin and you offend me like that, just as ju did last time i asked for a new patch and then i was right there was a bug (No error message when installing patch, if you have the head inough to remember)! You better stop you atitude, pepole like you are draging the game down, a game that be one of the best on the market!


/Mordan

One more thing - this game has only been out for ONE YEAR!
Do you expect the developers to work miricles??????? They are also trying to delelope a new game!!!!!
I think we shoud all be happy with this game - it is wonderful, and does not deserve critism like this.

Hey Barnabus i think he don't liked of your words.


Hey Mordan, don't care about this man, think on the future, you'll have other bugs to find on Riftrunner and Divinity 2, forgot about Divinity now, is past, we waiting for something better, i agree with your words about the bug skills, but we can do nothing, we aren't the developers of the game. Talk with who created the game and promissed this correction to you, i think this will be better.

Problem is that its a good game and i think Riftrunner and Divinity 2 cam be to but me and alot of other pepole wont look at those titles untill they fix at least the skills in Divinity. Come on now the boken skill was one of the worst bugs in the release and now few patches later they are still borken.
