Hotfix #8 Now Live
Hotfix #8 Now Live
Hello everyone, We’ve got another hotfix for you today, fixing multiple bugs, crashes and visual issues. Have your companions taken to weighing you down physically as well as emotionally? We looked into your reports and have restored their Patch 2 behaviour. When dismissed, they will ...
CHANGES
- Companions will no longer transfer story items in their inventory to the player upon dismissal, restoring Patch 2 behaviour.
- Fixed reaction popups sometimes showing no text descriptions of the reactions available.
- Fixed a multiplayer crash that would occur when listening to a dialogue after an active roll.
- Eavesdrop will no longer trigger when a character is in any Character Creation session, such as level up or the magic mirror.
- Fixed a bug in Vulkan causing DEVICE_LOST crashes.
- Fixed a bug where Skeletons created using Animate Dead were missing their ranged weapons, despite specialising in them.
- Fixed an issue where the Weapon Master Feat would show as incomplete if a player was already proficient with all weapons.
- Fixed a crash when re-assigning characters in splitscreen.
- Fixed a visual issue with volumetric fog and materials generation.
- Fixed an issue with invalid savegames being created.
- Restored Raphael's hair colour and horns. The House of Hope is once again fashion-forward.
- Fixed an issue where Splint Armour for Githyanki Females caused some unnecessarily psychedelic visual effects.
- Shaved His Majesty, who is once again a Sphynx. Steelclaw's eye colour has been adjusted so they are no longer identical twins.
- Fixed Raphael's portraits after restoring his hair colour. Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Avernus.
- Fixed Twitch drops not being claimable on PS5.
Glad they reverted the companion inventory behavior, that got old very fast. Two QoL things I would love to see:
- Access everyone's inventory in camp, so you don't have to dismiss/add/dismiss/add companions to move gear between them.
- Alchemy out of shared/camp storage, so you don't have to dig ingredients out of storage in camp.
I've been using a hireling, Sir Fuzzalump, to address your second point. He serves as my party's camp Alchemist(Transmutation Wizard 2/Knowledge Cleric 9/Rogue 1) and transfer all of the ingredients to him no stash required. I just transfer him into my party at the end of a long rest, do his buff routine(Warding Bond, Longstrider, etc), process all the Alchemy Ingredients, and make/pass out the day's Elixirs, before shunting him back out of the party.
I wouldn't mind a way to designate the face of the party, so the game would stop pulling my tank into dialogues and persuasion checks.
Fixed a bug where Skeletons created using Animate Dead were missing their ranged weapons, despite specialising in them.
Perfect timing. I started my Necromancy tactician run the day of the last patch and finished it last night lol
I wanted 13 skeleton archers but had to settle for 13 flying ghouls..
How did you end up with that many flying ghouls? I was only able to get 2 of them with my spell.
Love the irreverence Inn the patch notes
Is there a fix for you not being able to pet or hug the Mermer cat yet? Never in my life have I been so disappointed as when I hear the most enthusiastic "Mermer" and I can't respond :(
The developers seem to have a hard time figuring out how party members' inventory is supposed to work when they're not in the party.
I once told Laezel to go back to camp and pulled in Gale, played for a dozen hours or so, and then pulled Laezel back in to go to the creche. Well... when she came back, she had nothing in her inventory - only what she had equipped. This meant that I lost the Icy Crystal, a handful of really good weapons and potions, and other things.
--SPOILER--
I once released Shadowheart in a similar manner, but the moment I did, the Artifact got put into my inventory and I was unable to give it back. Several dialogue sequences happened where NPC's assumed she still had it, even though I did.
--SPOILER--And all this was prior to the new key item behavior... and now they've rolled it back. So they had bugs, behavioral changes, rollbacks of those changes... So far I haven't had anything super game breaking happen but my experience so far makes me weary.
