  1. I have been dealing with this bug for an extensive amount of time and lost around 150k before I started watching my inventory every time I reloaded a game.

    I did start my chars in game version 2.0 but I am at version 3.1 now

    I have read others have dealt with this bug before as well.

     

    Basically what it does is it pays out something like 20 days of crew charges all at once or something to that effect.

    I did not see it as a fix in 4.0 so I wanted to make sure it was known.  And if I repay myself with the money I lost through console I get blocked from achievements so I did not do that.

  2. So basically they hack my system through a backdoor and still gather telemetry and serve me ads?

    I love the games but man that is shady mc shaderton without a method to disable...

     

    Potentially using a host file block could work.  I will try this.

    Thanks for those URLs...

     

    I believe that PoE 2 populates it, i.e. your firewall rule is borked.

    Coincidentally, I am currently investigating PoE 2's network activity (because it annoys me to no end when games call home, even though telemetry is off) and found it attempting to resolve and connect  to d1079ywfijtdjs.cloudfront.net and perhaps causeway.obsidian.net and checkip.amazonaws.com.

     

    If you find out any more info please post it here.  To me it is one thing if they offer the option to turn on this telemetry and serve ads but to not allow a disable and to serve ads that have 0 relevance because the item is already purchased is sloppy and imo unethical

  3. I tried gutting the xml and just leaving the container labels and it forced it to start minimized.  However after about 4 game starts it got repopulated with data.  I have POE2 blocked in firewall so I assume something internal is sending the info to populate the xml file.

    I am trying to make it so the ad which basically keeps informing me about all the things I have already bought or downloaded is minimized.

    thanks

  4. Hello again Sapient!

     

    Sorry about that bug!  I think it's fixed for future situations, but it may not remove the effect if already applied.  I should be able to run some console commands to get rid of them for you, however.  If you send me your latest save game file, I should be able to fix it and get you into a stable state.  If needed, you can find the location of your save files here.  If you could either attach that here or send it to me at support@obsidian.net along with your forum user name and a link to this thread as a reference, that would be great.

     

    Thanks Sapient!

    I sent it ahead to the email address.  thank you for the help.

  5. Hello Sapient,

     

    I'm not quite sure without playing with it myself.  Would you be able to do me a favor and send me a copy of your save file to play with?  If you could attach it here or send it to me at support@obsidian.net I would be much appreciative.  If needed, you can find instructions on where your save files are located here.

     

    Thanks Sapient!

     

    It was too large for here so I sent it ahead to the email address.

  6. This bug has persisted through my game and now I am wondering if there is a way to run a console command to wipe them clean?

     

    I believe it began when fighting a Fampyr in Splintered Reef which dominated me.  After that Officer's Quarters stuck and Irwenas Mature experience.

    The blinded and dominated were from that fight with Fampyrs in splintered reef.

    Basically I have had these 4 buffs not ever leave my character tab.  Obviously I am not dominated or blinded and I am not sure really if I am gaining the 2 might and +1 skills from Irwena...

     

    Anyway to fix this?

  7. swift hunter garb has a slash/corrode 6 defense.  yet when I wear it I have 0 corrode and I do not gain the slash

     

    when I put on superb leather armor which has a crush/freeze 6 defense I have slash corrode crush and freeze defense

     

    I have noticed this with other armors as well.

    it appears as far as character sheet is concerned ( I have not tested the math of literal defense in combat) when I equip a new armor I get the previous armor and the new armor defenses.

     

    also as you can see I have 11 burn defense and I only have dragon pendant on which says 1 burn defense

    I also have 2 corrode boots and the dragon pendant also gives 1 slash

     

    is this just a character sheet bug or is this a real defense bug?

  8. This is the first time in the game that there is pretty much 0 knowledge about what the 4 different options do...

    The 4 options I am referring to is whether to return Soul to Wheel, Consume it, Return to Crucible or Empower Matua.

     

    Does someone have a link to lore or some info that explains wth these options are even for?

    Or perhaps just what each one does.

    I guess consuming it gives upgrade material and empowering Matua helps some kind of ending...

    what do wheel and crucible options do?

  9. This is a general setting. As such it is SET and will not change after. You can change it to different values, but you can't change/create a dependence to a lvl-changing stealth skill with this variables.

     

    There are radius and sound variables that are stealth skill dependent.

     

    "MaxSuspicionStealthAccelerationMultiplier":4,"MaxSuspicionStealthDecelerationMultiplier":0.05,"MinDistanceMultiplier":2,"MaxDistanceMultiplier":0.5

     

    Yet, I don't know how they factor in the equation. Stealth based movement increase is definitely not part of it.

     

    That is what I figured so all I could do is reduce hearing circle or detection globally with this. Really just want to get the circle to reduce based on stealth.  The circle itself seems to be the same size if I am 2 stealth or 22 stealth like I am now.

  10. I'm pretty sure you have to edit assembly-csharp.dll for this. Especially detection is a tricky event handler that is not easy to modify. You can use dnspy (google it) to modify this dll.

     

    thank you I will look into this.  

     

    I suppose this would only alter the global for detection and hearing?

    I see how it points to csharp...

    {"$type":"Game.GameData.StealthSettingsComponent, Assembly-CSharp","HearingSuspicionRate":40,"VisionSuspicionRate":80,"HearingMovementRatio":0.75,"StealthDecayRate":15,"StealthDecayDelay":0.75,"MaxSuspicionStealthAccelerationMultiplier":4,"MaxSuspicionStealthDecelerationMultiplier":0.05,"MinDistanceMultiplier":2,"MaxDistanceMultiplier":0.5}]}
    
  11. There is no way to toggle Sneak for a group of selected characters simultaneously. Please add support for this.

     

    v2.02 (Game cache integrity verified)

    Windows 10 x64

    Intel i7 920 @ 2.66GHZ

    ASUS P6T Motherboard

    Gainward Geforce 560Ti 2GB with latest drivers

    Integrated Audio

    8GB DDR3 RAM

     

    Yes there is.

    Initially when one character went into sneak mode the entire party did even if they were not selected.

    They removed that and made it so one character could sneak while the rest wait.

    Now you have to either select them singly or grab the group you want in stealth and toggle it on/off.

  12. The athletics and survival thing seems very interesting.

    Those 4 skills are fairly useless as time goes on and I am glad they are going to be integrated in the game other than scripted interactions.

     

    Vanican change has been talked about an enormous amount in general.  Different folks on either side of the fence for removing per encounters or changing them.

    I like the additional spell though even if its not in grimoire.

  13. Planning on artificially leveling to 9, going to white march and enable high level content, grab the npcs, then run back and de level back to normal and play the regular campaign with White march npcs, then later finish the high level content.

     

    I've used the console addxp command to add negative xp, which reduces it. Can also just manually de level by not taking any more levels with respec option.

     

    Hmmm...

    this is an idea I had not thought of.

    thanks.

    This is a rare game I find myself having to overthink things just to make sure I can play through it in a challenging manner.

  14. Hi, I went to White March when I was level 7, spent some time there just to recruit Zahua and Caroc, then I got back to the main story. Currently I am finishing Act II at level 10. After some experience in the White March I found the main arc easier than before. Now I can't decide what to do:

     

    • If I complete the main game, white march will be too easy.
    • If I complete the white march, the rest of the main game will be too damn easy

    So my options here are, boring vs boring!

     

    I did the same thing and went to WM at level 7.

    I ended up trying to figure a good path to be semi challenged. I went back and forth between Act2 and WM and finished up WM before Act3.

    Truthfully there is no way to be challenged by mid game in PoE at all excluding the Dragons (thank goodness for that)

    Definitely after fighting the Speedy Reptiles and the constructs the rest of Vanilla game seemed so easy.

     

    I suppose it is difficult for them since they add the content into the middle of the game rather than just tack in on at the end which can work but they have to really overthink the design and flow of the game so the challenge remains.

     

    Like I said the only way for me to stay challenged was to do a bunch of research before playing the Game and plotting a course way beforehand.  In addition I am using iemod and nerfed exp by 50% until I hit level 7 and then I set it to 25% exp.  I still hit cap before praying to the Gods in Teir Evron.

    And I have not done Cragholdt which really should be scaled by itself when you visit it.

    I am just completing it for completion's sake now.

    If I manage to play through again I will do a solo run to try and push some challenge.

    PoTD basically feels like a split between normal and hard.
