  1. Thanks for posting @jakubcjusz, there was definitely something a bit off with some skus on the back-end, I believe that issue has since been corrected. If you are personally having the issue still, please let me know and we can look into it further.
  2. Hello @Mr682 & @Reveroman, I'm sorry to hear that the DLC isn't automatically updating for you. Did you both purchase the Season Pass via Steam? And if so have you already tried restarting the client to trigger the update? -David
  3. Correct this sub-forum is intended for catching things unique/new to the v4.0 beta. https://forums.obsidian.net/forum/132-patch-beta-bugs-and-support/ You can report persistent issues in this forum (there may already be a thread on it!): https://forums.obsidian.net/forum/130-pillars-of-eternity-ii-deadfire-technical-support-spoiler-warning/
  4. Thanks Lord Brunitius. We still have a bit of Localization going in and these strings are part of it. We expect these will be in for the final v4.0 build. Thank you for bringing them up! We've also passed along your suggestion to our Localization QA Team.
  5. Queue the Micheal Jackson music! JK, but if you could send us your Pillars II save file (or even the Pillars I file) that would help us greatly to see which wires are getting crossed in this permutation. (if it's too big for the forum attachments, you can also email us at bugs@obsidian.net and reference this forum thread).
  6. Thank you Jodah! We think we discovered the cause of this, we'll be looking to correct this in a future build.
  7. v4.0 Beta is now available on GOG as well, sorry about the delay!! (Updating original Post to reflect this as well)

  12. Thank you SonyXP. Have you tried verifying your game files? It surprises me that those strings would suddenly be missing. We are working on a mod related bug that may also be the culprit to the mod bug you mentioned.

  15. Hey all, just a quick note that we are expecting to have a beta up sometime today. Unless we find a blocker, in which case it can always get delayed. QA is working on a candidate now
