Update Notes: 2.03

Update Notes: 2.01

From Adam Brennecke:   This patch fixes many minor issues that came up before and after launch of The White March - Part I.

Update Notes: 2.00

Major New Features Companion AI - You may now set your companions to use AI. For those of you that do not want to micromanage your party, you may now choose to have the AI perform basic commands for you. You can activate and deactivate the AI control at any time, so you can still have ultimate party control when you need it. Each class has specialized AI packages and we will be adding more in the future. Improved Creature AI - Creatures and NPCs will now act more intelligently and

There should be 'PillarsOfEternity_Data' folder next to the executable

With the 1.05 patch on Steam, we've received a few reports from people saying they are receiving the following error: Data folder not found: There should be 'PillarsOfEternity_Data' folder next to the executable   To fix this: Open Steam and click on the Library tab. Find Pillars of Eternity in your games list along the left, right-click it, and choose Properties. Click the Local Files tab and click the Browse Local Files... button. You should see a "EmptyS

Hey, everyone. Here are the patch notes for 1.06.   Of particular note are the fixes for: Fixed a crash that some people were experiencing on startup.

Fixed an issue where grimoires were getting corrupted when sending a wizard to the Stronghold. Fixed an issue where a door in the Stronghold's Great Hall cou

Patch Notes: 1.05

This is a big one. Patch 1.05 features hundreds of bug fixes, balance changes, and new UI features. There are many minor fixes that are not listed in these notes.   Please Note: Save games in 1.05 are not compatible with 1.04 or earlier versions. The game will automatically back up your save games in a special folder in the save game directory after converting the saves to the new format.     New Features You can now rename save games. You can now change th

Patch Notes: 1.04

These are the patch notes for 1.04, which is now available on Steam. It may be a bit before it's available on GOG and Origin, as they manually put it up.   We are now working on patch 1.05 and will launch the beta for it during the week of April 20th. We're continuing to read through support threads and e-mails. Thank you, everyone!   Update for GOG Linux Users: 1.04 is available on GOG, but not as a patch - unfortunately you have to download the full version of the game. GOG

Windows 32-bit: Crashing occasionally or on specific area transitions

Are you running a 32-bit version of Windows and experiencing crashes, sometimes during specific area transitions? This seems to be caused by the game at certain points needing more available RAM than Windows in 32-bit will allow, so it will crash. In fact, this happens in other Unity-based games, such as Wasteland 2. One workaround customers of Wasteland found was that you could change a setting that would allow applications in Windows to use more RAM on 32-bit Windows.   We do re

Physical Goods: I haven't received mine yet - when are they coming?

Last updated: May 4, 2015   Where are my physical rewards? Many of the rewards have been sent out already or are in the process of being sent out now, but we did encounter some delays getting goods over to Europe from America, partly due to issues with labor strikes on the west coast where we are, and damage that occurred to some of the parts on their way over from production.   The final physical discs (delayed as stated in backer updates #89 and #90) are finished being

Patch Notes: 1.03

These are the patch notes for patch 1.03. This patch is now available on Steam, and will be available on GOG soon.     Note: We have hotfixed the problem with adventurer hall-created companions not being able to unlock doors or chests.   Second Note: We have also fixed an issue where people were unable to open certain doors due to the Fog of War.   "Big Ticket" Items Bears and Cats can now be equipped with hats. This is most likely not a joke... but migh

OS X: Black screen. resolution switching, and external display issues

A number of users have reported they are seeing black screens when playing the game, usually when switching resolutions, or toggling between windowed mode and full screen. We've also had reports of similar behavior when trying to use external displays.   We've looked into this issue extensively on our end, and we've found a reproducible case within the engine and have sent it off to the folks at Unity to investigate further.   In the meantime as a workaround, you can generall

Constant Hitching and Voice Over Delay

There appears to be an issue on some machines where certain network adapters can contribute to the game running slowly, hitching a lot when doing common things like opening/closing inventory, and voice over playback not playing when it should.   We're investigating this issue on our end, but some of the folks in the community suggested disabling any extra network adapters you may have, such as Hamachi, VMware, VirtualBox, or your corporate VPN adapters.   To do this, visit th
