Hey everyone, We want to update our backers on Korean-language support for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. As promised, backers will receive a Steam or GOG key directly from Obsidian (through the Backer Portal) for the Korean language version of the game. We expect that this translation will be available either on release day, or shortly thereafter. Retail purchasers of the Korean version of Pillars II can get it directly from our Korean-language partners, H2 Interactive. Apologies for taking so long to respond to you guys.

Hail Watchers! We just wanted to inform you all that we will be closing off the Backer Portal to new pledges on January 24th, 2018 at 11:59 PM PST. If you haven't redeemed your Fig pledge, no need to worry, you can still finalize your order! We'd like to thank you all so much for the support you have given us, this game wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for your passion and generosity. We look forward to seeing you guys in Deadfire!

Hey n19htz, Unfortunately the Steam cloud does not work cross-platform for Pillars. If you still have access to your Windows PC, you can manually transfer the saves over via email, online storage, or thumb drive. Hope that helps!

Hey Dracco, Typically when save files goes missing, its due to a anti-malware software preventing the game from reading the sames. Just disable or update your software and that should work. But if you save files are going complete missing (C:\Users\username\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity) Then we have never heard or seen that before. Do you recall doing anything to your computer during the time you last played and the time you booted up the game that could have caused this? Thanks.

Hail MrH! Could you please post up your computer specs and your output log? Have you tried verifying your game files by any chance? Thanks a bunch!

Hey Julius and amazingxmovil! It looks like your game is running of the intergrated graphics card. Please make sure that your graphics cards are updated and run your PC Performance on High Performance to ensure you are using your Nvidia card. Hope that helps!

Hail Sumerset! Since you have deleted all previous saves, the only way to get out of the pit would be to use console cheat commands. Open up the console and type "iroll20s" without the quotations and then hit F11 and you can teleport out of the pit. Then open up the console again and type ReactivateStronghold to regain assess to the stronghold, since it was disabled going down the pit. Hope that helps!

Wow, you guys are absolutely amazing! Love everything I'm seeing here! Keep it up!

Greetings friends! We absolutely love what you guys are doing with creating your own watercolor portraits and we want to help out! Our amazing and talented Matt Hansen created a PSD doc with instructions on how to create a watercolor portrait to match the style of the game! We've also included the texture as a separate file in you aren't using Photoshop. Enjoy! WatercolorTemplate.zip

Correct, it typically takes a few days for GOG.

Hail Watchers! The Beta Branch has been pushed to the live branch and is now live on Steam with the fixes above! Cheers!

Hail Stabbingwest! I have responded to your email! Apologies for the lateness, we were off on vacation break! Cheers!

Greetings friends, We have spoken with Paradox Interactive and they have told me that the issues should now be fixed. Please check your installation folder where Pillars is installed and you should find your loot there! \Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity Keep on rocking!

Greetings Watchers! Thank you all so much for participating in the Backer Beta!

Hail Adventurers! A couple of goblins was causing havoc in the latest build and we finally got them under control! Here are the fixes coming in patch 1.2.8.1 Gameplay The "nickname" bug is fixed. When deleting a character with a nickname the server was repairing the local version of those missing characters every time the game was launched. This quickly caused more duplicate characters to fill up the roster of playable characters.Note: Characters nicknamed in Chinese should still not be visible. There is no official support for special characters yet. We are working on that support so they won't have garbled text in the near future. Jorgenfist 's Stone Giant henchmen in Sandpoint Under Siege will now properly prompt the player to close the scenario. Cards with the Owner Trait (i.e. Old Friends) will no longer be automatically granted to characters. Once earned they will appear in the character's stash.Note: cards will an Owner Trait will return to the character's build/repair lists after a completed scenario even if banished. These lists are only accessible during the repair phase of deck management. Spells and locations with the ability to move characters to other locations out of turn could occasionally run into a progression break. We believe we fixed all instances of where it won't let you do anything after a move. We're looking at you Temple + Stride.Note: We have NOT fixed an issue where movement spells could bypass the damaged taken when moving to a new location in the Bar Brawl. Ranzak's Hornswoggle could be activated for an explore when no Blessings were in the blessing discard pile. Store The pricing for six chests in the store is 2500 Gold and will be reflected properly. Rise of the Goblins will now mark itself as owned in the store when purchased outside of iOS then linked to iOS. The Master Dice bundle was being purchased and not properly showing up even if they were in the user's inventory.Note: The following dice are part of a bundle, special event, or limited time only and are not included in the bundle: Red, Obsidian, Haunted, Jingle, Nathan's Tribute, and Goblin. Other iOS and Android achievements should properly show up.

Hey guys, I noticed you have an on-board graphic card along with your GTX 980. Check to see if the game is running the correct graphics card and see if that is the issue. Also, head over to the Control Panel and in Power Options, make sure High Performance is checked as well. Let me know if that works! Thanks a bunch!

Hey Justdanielle! Could you please tell us your Username and #xxxx so we can take a look at your account? Thanks!

Hey Saemon01! Did the recent patch fix this issue for you? Thanks!

Hey bloodrunes, Have you tried verifying your game cache yet? Thanks!
