Popular Post StressEater Posted August 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2020 Just some friendly advise. If you are thinking about buying this game, I would strongly encourage you to hold off on buying it right now. There are so many issues with the game. I have encountered several glitches where the save files do not correctly save your progress. I have lost more hours than I can count. Also, the game crashes constantly. It keeps getting worse and worse as you progress through the game. For example, there is a large zone you need to clear for the main quest during the end of chapter 3. Since the zone is so large, it lags out and crashes before you can finish it. It took me several hours to figure out a work around. The save game files are so easily corrupted. I made a hard save and when I loaded it, I was back at chapter 2 and lost 20 hours of game play. Its even worse when it comes to the auto saves. I am always making manual saves but you can have only so many before they start saving over each other. The problem is that most of them will not even load. I have tried deleting old saves to prevent this but it still does not work. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing game and a lot of fun. I just hope that they are able to patch these issues. For now, I would hold off on buying the game until they are able to fix the glitches. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StressEater Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 There are ways to work around some of the issues. It's just that it takes so much effort. You really shouldn't have to though. Which is what makes it so frustrating. For me, I had to give up on it. I moved on to work on other games. Here are a few simple tips I used. - Save, save, save. I can't stress this enough. You need to save and save often. You can not count on auto saves or quick saves. Never save over an existing file. What tends to happen is that the save wont fully save and you end up with the previous save and will loose all your work from that point. -It is best to save on blank slots. The trick is to upload all your save files to the cloud then delete all but your most recent. If you load it and it is corrupt, just download from the cloud and use your second most recent. This way you have less of a chance to corrupt your data. -Do not play for to long before restarting the game. A lot of zones are large and will lag out on you. So, always save before leaving because it is going to crash, half the time saving causes the game to crash as well. But, if you exit the game and reload it, some times it will allow you to exit. But, just some times and it might take sever loads to get it to work. It is fine in the beginning but as you progress, it gets worse and worse. I was at the point where I had to do this every single zone. -If you load and your stuck in a rock, tree, off map, or black screen. A couple times I was able to use dimension door back to the real map. But this only happened maybe twice. The other 30 or so times I had to reload a previous save and redo everything. I hope these help for anyone trying to play the game. Like I said before, it is a good game but it would be an amazing game if they worked out the bugs. Good luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkshepherd Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Ive been looking at checking this out too. Looked good but buggy on PC. It still sounds buggy now. My question to players is, Has there been any more updates and are they a frequent thing? Bonus question: are the bugs stopping people getting platinums or is it just hard?

StressEater Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 For me, it was just not worth it. The game is amazing but as you progress into the later stages of the game, it starts to crash a lot more. I got to the point where I couldn't change zones without it crashing. I would have to make a save before attempting to pass between zones. To make matters worse, the game would also crash on me when I tried to make a save. I found myself saving every few mins to not loose anything. I got to a point where the game would not let me make any more saves. I then had to upload all my saves to the cloud then start deleting and hope my last few were not corrupted and would load. Once I hear that they have made updates to the game, I plan to go back and finish it. It is well worth it if they fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkshepherd Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 And here i was just about to buy this in the sale.... Is one able to actually finish the game then?, with workarounds in regards to glitches/bugs? It looks good. God i hope they fix the bugs buuuuut.... I have heard of a Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Which from what I've heard is a sequel somewhat. My guess is the team is dedicating all their energy on the new one. Which will probably mean little if any energy dedicated to squashing bugs from this. I mean obviously dont rule anything out but we all know how these things work. ?

I am sure in a couple months you can easily get the game for less then $20. As Game_Knot stated, there are people who have finished it. I was on my way but the work arounds just were not worth it to me. I was only able to play for about an hour before I had to start making backups of my save files. It just was not worth it. 11 hours ago, Game_Knot said: Sadly, i think they have given up on fixing this game on consoles and now fully concentrating on their next game Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. @punkshepherd: 2 people have the platinum now so it seems possible but it takes alot of work and patience.

To be honest, the game is actually really good. I was surprised at how well they put it together. The only bad part is the bugs. If they work them out, this would definitely be one of my favorite games. Right up there with Skyrim and Fallout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIECREAM-4-U Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I'm guessing no patch? This game is like titan quest in terms of bugs. Edited March 15, 2021 by Dan-lives-here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game_Knot Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 1 hour ago, Dan-lives-here said: I'm guessing no patch? This game is like titan quest in terms of bugs. Patch was just released on ps4 it fixes the progression bugs in the dlc's that before prevented you in completing those like the Beneath the Stolen Lands standalone dlc progression issue. Please be aware of plot spoilers in the description below! Areas • Fixed a critical issue related to the characters’ movement in the Jamandi Aldori’s Mansion area. • XP was given incorrectly at the House at the Edge of Time area. Resolution: fixed. • Fixed errors in the dialogue with Jamandi Aldori at the Flintrock Grassland area. Quests • Fixed the issue due to which events of the Deal with the Devil quest at the capital square could fail to start. • It was possible to get a reward from Edrist Hanvaki more than once. Resolution: fixed. U Interface • Scrolling through the locations list failed to work. Resolution: fixed. • The Boon selection window wasn’t displayed in the console version. Resolution: fixed. • Scrolling now works correctly in the recipe selection window. It now also displays recipes, for which there are not enough ingredients, as well as full recipe descriptions, with all the required ingredients. • The loot window displayed the number of items instead of its weight. Resolution: fixed. • Fixed how the newly obtained spells are displayed in the class progression window. Turn-Based Mode • Commands that are given before a battle starts in turn-based mode, are now canceled only at the very moment the battle starts unless they have been already executed. In the previous update, the commands were canceled immediately, and only the last one was executed even if the battle did not start at all, which interfered with the use of effects during the pause. The change we implemented will also allow you to get a significant advantage in the surprise round, which goes against the rules of the board game, but we consider it acceptable at the moment. • Pounce failed to work in the surprise round if the character was not the first to act during this round. Resolution: fixed. • Attacking enemies with AoE spells failed to start a surprise round. Resolution: fixed. • A fight in turn-based mode could freeze when an AoE effect of a compound shape was activated. Miscellaneous • Excessive game saves were created in the Last Azlanti mode. Resolution: fixed. • In Beneath the Stolen Lands, rogue-like mode, after you retire one party, the next party didn’t get a boon. Resolution: fixed. • Decreased the memory consumption in the scenes with lots of characters (in particular, in Irovetti’s palace). • Increased the space reserved for game saves on consoles. • Audio: during the boss fight with Vordakai, a theme for Armag was played. Resolution: fixed. + more stuff that wasn't included in patch notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_-_808 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 So it only fixed DLC issues and not the problems for the base game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papajoesbane Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Haven't played main campaign after this patch. But It still lags/crashes in DLC "Beneath the Stolen Lands" time to time. Also they fixed the broken save import function, so the plat became finally obtainable. Great game, though. It's a shame that it's so bug ridden. My only advice is to play it on PS5.

Vern3r0z Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 if the game gets all patched up what would you guys rate the plat difficulty then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman223 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 The game's 50% off now with PSPlus. Is it in a playable enough state to to warrant getting it now or should people wait for a lower price? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
