Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems A new Post v1.4 problem with Act3 BF vendors

Post V1.4 Patch I check the vendor Olaf in Act III and there is a real problem with his inventory. Nothing he has matches name, stats, and item icon. Examples:

A staff: is named Dog's Plate Boots
A Spear: is named Normal Arrow
A Crushing weapon: is named Apprentice's Hunter's Bow of the Imp
A 2-H Axe: is named Regeneration Spiked Belt of Reflexes
A Training Sword: is named Ranger's Emerald Ring of Amazement
A Short Bow: is named Ranger's Silver Ring of Granite
A Crossbow: is named Holy Sandals of the Damned
A Rod: is named Asmodheus Leggings

Everything else in the inventory has similar incorrect names. So I bought the Training Sword (named Ranger's Emerald Ring of Amazement) and it is in my inventory as an Armor item, rather than a weapon, but when I click to equip it then is goes to the weapon slot on my character. Name is still incorrect and when I unequip it, it returns to the Armor page, not the weapon page in my inventory. So if it is in fact a Ring - it is equipping in the wrong character slot

The stats on the Training sword are stats you normally find on a ring. I am afraid to buy anything because I'm not sure what effects it will have in combat.

The vendor Elkar has the same problem with the one weapon in her inventory. It is a Dagger named "Dragon's Rags Gloves Black", and the stats appear to be meant for an armor item, not a weapon.

Same problem with the vendor Brian with all of his items.

Can't really tell on Keith since he has all arrows.

not to be funny but that is grim,.... Grim! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
did you try to reload or do you have another save?

No, but here is what I did and it shows the problem is cumulative:

1.) I sold a bunch of armor and weapons to Olaf (all properly named)
2.) I left the BattleField back to Act III main Game
3.) I returned to the BattleField and checked all of the items that I had sold to Olaf - All of the item names and Icons changed to be incorrect like his own inventory.

Also it looks like when I return to the battleField all he has are the items I sold him, all of his own inventory items are gone. And the names and Icons of what he has left are incorrect as indicated in my original post.

All of the other vendors items, when I exit and re-enter the BattleField are different, but still do not reflect what they really are. Example: Now Elkar has a Wand named Normal Arrow that sells for 1 gold and a Ring named Ghost Hit Black Ring that sells for 1 gold and has a stat of Spiritual: 49-71.

so have you tried to restart the game (exit and restart)

did you apply the patch before starting your game....
because now i think you will have to do so...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Yes, I had already applied the patch and went back to the very end of Act II, and started Act III all over again. Otherwise the inventories on the vendors would not have changed.

Also I have a bunch of items in 2 chests that I am storing in the BattleField. Those items are all fine, it is just the vendors inventories that are having a problem.

I can't check it myself, I just deleted all my savegames and started over from scratch, after installing 1.4

But, if this is a general problem, I believe we will see a 1.41 fix very soon.

maybe you'll have to go back to the very beginning and start all over again... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Grim, this sounds problematic - is it only for BF in Act 3? Or was Act 2 infected already? Sorry, I started from the beginning with EV 1.4 - so, I'm not that far in the game(Act 1, drillgrounds so far). I could load a German save into my game - but then I won't know if I have the same results.

I did notice a change in spell selling though (Act 1 and 4) for a quick swap with German save/English game. I can only advise to NOT buy these items until it is fixed, may corrupt save.

is it only for the BF traders in Act 3 or for normal ones ingame also?

It is problematic and for this reason we'll release patch version 1.41 asap (meaning we'll try to release it today).

Kiya,

I was going to go back to an Act II saved game today and check it, but since Lar has already confirmed that it needs to be corrected there is no point in doing that now.
