In my case the map error happen in a reproducable location. Inside the hanging sepulchers, the forgotten Mausoleum. When trying to exit the Mausoleum it always results in a map error. Different chharacters, different saves. Reloading takes care of the issue.

Now that this has been moved to Technical Support, you'd want to include what's asked for here
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.

To be fair the problem is not the writing team, they did their best. The issue is open world, obs being far too ambitious with too many major changes, so not enough resources, the focus being on everything but the writing, something had to give. I think they did as best they could with the time available, but clearly Sawyer had many other priorities from the start and didn’t really place any importance on the narrative.I agree, well partly. What really gets old very fast is the lack of variety of scripted events on board. There's only so many times you can get the message of your crew being playing a game before it gets a nuisance rather than a fun event.

Hello Abaris,
I'm sorry you are getting freeze issues during your playthrough. My best recommendation for people who hadn't had this problem until adding DLC is to uninstall and reinstall the entire game at once. If that doesn't fix it for you, then would you be able to reproduce the issue and then send us a copy of your output_log.txt file. If needed, you can find instructions on how to obtain that file here. You can either provide a link to your file via Dropbox or you may attach it to an email for us at support@obsidian.net. If you do email us, please link this post and mention your forum username so that we may identify you easily.
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.
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?

It's a highly addictive game, and I say that as a veteran of POE. Still haven't mastered it though. I played POE on the higher difficulties, one short of path of iron. This one I have to play on easy.

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.

Weird, in my 350+ hours of playtime, I've never seen a prisoner attempt to escape. Maybe focus on building the security of your stronghold?
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.

Sad!
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.

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.

I just uninstalled the whole game and redownload it right now. Maybe that solves the issue. For now I deactivated all DLCs, so that I start out with a fully patched game in it's vanilla state. Then I will try to reactivate them step by step.
-
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.

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.

Granted, I don't use Sagani much in any case and I don't look at stats in general, but I never noticed anything strange or gamebreaking with Sagani. I could finish her quest just fine and while she was in my party, she had quite a few high level kills to show for her efforts.

Your experience with New Vegas seems like a pretty severe outlier, that game has a ton issues, especially freezes and crashes, but not being able to get it to run at all, is much less common.
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.

I tried that before completely uninstalling, it didn't work. I even hard-booted my computer on the second attempt to verify and no luck.
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.

Why would you rush back when game offer you teleport to event?
Because you can't teleport. You're either on the grounds or have to travel there.

Scenario 1: You're in the middle of something, you know it'll be a big hassle to get back to fight off the invasion. You autoresolve, you lose a couple of buildings, you rebuild them. Takes you 20 seconds and some gold (which you'll be swimming in after midgame).
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.

I have never gotten that quest by someone telling me something. He always attacks my keep with an undead army. I then talk to the Steward and get the quest.
Exactly. That's what I got too. The Stewart telling me of a threatening letter after the first attack.

And what is bad about Zahua other than the drugged up tribal schtick? With heavy armor and fists or weapons he does great. I've got him in the Sanguine Plate, Shod in Faith boots and Durgan enhanced Tide Fall greatsword and he is a monster.
There's really nothing bad about him. With the right equipment he's easily one of the strongest characters you will ever get.

It doesn't work with anyone but your player passing the checks.

I'm sure it's not what my dirty mind insinuates: Checkpot, motherf.....
But what is it?

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.
Computer abruptly shutting off during game.

You still might want to monitor your core and GPU temperatures. I had the very same issue, not with this game, but in general and it turned out that my CPU fan wasn't up to the job.
