You can't include these files in the majority of cases. A map error simply throws you back into the main menu and no file is created. Same with freezes. If you quit the game via task manager - which is the only option, once a freeze occurs - again, no file created. The only instances where the required files are created are outright CTDs. I had two of them, but countless freezes and a number of map loading errors.

Freeze at character creation
abaris replied to abaris's question in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Thanks for the reply. The problem is, I can reproduce the issue, but not at the exact same stage. I enter character creation and it happens at some point. Sometimes as early as selecting the race, sometimes as late as selecting a name. Savegames are working fine for the most part. -
After the last patch and DLC I can't start a new game. I keep constantly freezing at character creation. At different stages, but always. It's virtually impossible to start a new game. I have disabled steam overlay and steam cloud and steam doesn't even recognize me playing the game, since I'm starting it with administrator right from my desktop. Any advice?

I for one got freezes all over the game. Character creation, freeze. It's a gamble if it works or not. Certain transitions, freeze. And by that I mean certain transitions, such as exiting the Valian trade company. It always freezes there. I have to hard quit to desktop. After reloading the autosave it's working again. There's also another point that always results in a map loading error. Can't name it because this is the no spoiler section, but it's reproducable. Again, reloading takes care of the issue. Level scaling, browsing through the character menus, sometimes results in a freeze. Again, a gamble. If the whole party is levelling, I made it my business to always save between characters, so that I don't have to go through the whole process again. Oh, yes. As has been suggested, I have disabled the steam overlay and I am always starting the game through the alias on my desktop with administrator privileges.

Prisoners still escape?
abaris replied to bmardiney's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
They don't attempt it, they just do escape. Without you being able to do anything about it. And I had it happen with maximum security in a fully expanded stronghold. -
Third Expansion

But expected. -
It's no longer pink, but now I can't start a new game or load an existing one. It's stuck on the loading screen for minutes without anything happening. I attached links to the required files. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8fn8ga5x95nlp5n/output_log.txt?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/i7bd3eo6udeap7k/DxDiag.txt?dl=0 If needed, here are my system specs: AMD A8-6600K Win 7 64 8 Gigs Ram Geforce GTX 650ti, latest drivers clean install. Last edit: Seems like steam did a terrible mashup with my game's data. I reinstalled it, repaired it and repaired it again. Second repair finally did the trick and it seems like I'm able to play again. Thanks for your support.

Can't attach the screenshot I made, since it says, I'm not allowed to use that image extension. But after an extremely long loading period, I arrive at a loading screen where the normally woodlike menu is pink. Thhe White March backdrop is there, but every clickable area of the menu is pink and I can't see the version number of my game nor the different options. Anyone else has this? Any suggestions? I was in the beta program on steam but I can't see how I could reroll to a previous version short of uninstalling the whole game.

No Roleplay? :-(
abaris replied to Dykeras's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
The biggest mistake is to expect D&D rules where no D&D rules are involved. Even if it doesn't seem so at first glance, you can create a useful character that totally goes against the grain of the particular class. I once played a sturdy mage, being equally handy with steel and spells. I have to say, it was the most fun character I ever played and I have to try it again sometime. -
Yes, but the game wasn't designed for todays hardware and software technology. If I ran it in it's vanilla state, it wouldn't start at all or crash randomly, That's why the modding community came up with a ton of fixes for 64 bit systems and, most of all, the 4GB patch. Result, it starts and runs without any CTDs to speak of.

I've played a lot of games in my life. This has bugs, though I'm hard pressed to call them many, but compared to other games it's virtually bugfree. Not a single CTD since it first came out, which is virtually a premiere for me. Playable, enjoyable and no broken quests, as far as I am concerned. Granted, I don't do number crunching, so I wwouldn't even know if some stat doesn't do exactly what it's supposed to do. So, major butthurt, unless the OP is really one of the unlucky ones running into bugs I never encountered.

Update #101: Update 2.02 is Live
abaris replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You have to repeat the process until the darn client finally understands that you don't want beta. Seems to be a problem on their side. -
Advice on defending caed Nua

Because you can't teleport. You're either on the grounds or have to travel there. -
Advice on defending caed Nua
abaris replied to Nurgles Socks's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Yeah, I'm not really fretting over it, but I wouldn't call it a well thought out feature either. Regardless how good your security or your henchmen are, you're losing stuff and people in a fight that would be rersolved within seconds manually. -

It doesn't work with anyone but your player passing the checks. -
Update 2.02 Beta is Live
abaris replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
There's a minor problem at Durgans battery levle 3, the armory. That chest contains a set of gloves and it has a missing item number instead of it's specs.
