Hello all, we're pushing out 1 more update for this patch with the following fixes. Main post has been updated as well. Build 1.2.2.0033 Updates Passive Ability Icons in the character level up screen now appear as circles again (instead of squares). Furrante's Ship has been moved closer to Port Maje to ensure the encounter occurs before the player reaches Neketaka.

Hello Drone456, I've been working with Valve on this. They do believe that this is configured properly (and has been for a couple weeks). Would you mind sharing your Steam Username so that I can pass that along to our contact at Valve? They'd like to take a closer look at why this isn't working for your account. Thank you, David

Hello Beta Folk! We are getting ready to release our next patch. This will be a smaller update than v1.1.0. Included in this patch is support for the next free DLC and some fixes that we felt we could sneak in safely as the team works on the next patch with many more fixes for issues reported by the community. We've just finished uploading an early version of this patch to both GOG and Steam. You can find instructions on how to opt into the beta branch on this thread.

Hey Linux Folk, I am very sorry for the delay (and silence) here. There were a couple of issues with getting the build transferred to the GOG Linux team preventing them from doing their set-up. We have resolved those issues, and the team there is now unblocked. It is actively being worked on, but the processing is quite lengthy for games as large as ours. They are hoping to have that process complete Early tomorrow morning (~ 15 hours from the time of this post). Again, I am very that this is taking far longer than we expected. I'll update the main post as well so our other Linux users are aware. -David When? I would like to know too... Apparently it is going to be a few lengthy hours. Yeah, it would be fine if we were at least kept up to date on the status--I hate just waiting and refreshing the page. Could we at least be told if there will be an official announcement once it's fixed? Can we sign up for an email update when it's ready or something? The official announcement on the Obsidian site didn't even mention that there was an issue with the Linux patch and now it's been several days after the patch notes said a few hours

It should automatically update if you are using Steam or GOG Galaxy. Which distributor did you get the game through? and which OS do you use (Windows, Mac, Linux)? I got it through GOG and I'm running Windows 10 If you are using GOG Galaxy, it should automatically update the game for you. If you decided not to use Galaxy, then I believe you need to re-download the game from GOG.

We are looking to add more difficult achievements (in-game only, not Steam/GOG achievements) in a future patch The Beta branch still had 1.1.0.0034. I have just updated it, thanks for letting us know.

Yes! Those fixes are in this patch

I'm sorry that is still happening for you @Awkward Davies, would you mind sending us a save file that we could reproduce the issue from? We think our fix may not be working for older saves, so any saves we can get would help us find out why. Saves are big, so we'd recommend either using a dropbox/google drive link or sending it to us at bugs@obsidian.net @David Benefield, are you saying I would have to start a completely new game to avoid the problem? I have tried respecing after updating to latest beta and still have the same issue. Do you need a save from before a broken respec or after? Where do I find save files for a Steam installation of Deadfire? We may be able to make a fix for old saves, but we'd need to better understand what is broken for those saves. Ideally we need a save just before the respec occurs so that we can cause the issue to happen on our end and trace what it does wrong. See below for notes on where the save game files are stored, and thank you for your help!! Savegames Windows Location: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity II MACOS: ~/Library/Application Support/ Pillars of Eternity II Linux: $XDG_Data_Home/PillarsofEternityII

All changes for the early June patch should be in the beta branch now. However I know there is more that the team wants to change, so do expect more in future patches. Seriously? No fix for inability respec my chanter without losing the chant selected on character creation? I'm sorry that is still happening for you @Awkward Davies, would you mind sending us a save file that we could reproduce the issue from? We think our fix may not be working for older saves, so any saves we can get would help us find out why. Saves are big, so we'd recommend either using a dropbox/google drive link or sending it to us at bugs@obsidian.net

Very small update today (updated original post as well): Build 1.1.0.0034 Updates The following are all of the updates that occurred between build 31 and build 34. Fixed some Digsite Sublevel encounters that were not playing their emerges. Null check fix in NavigationPath.ClearCorners which was occasionally causing transition / load failures booting back to main menu. (Forum log) Fixed some Partial hair for Maia and Eder Fixed all in-game achievement icons no longer displaying in the Achievement UI or the Achievement notification ‘Start and Skip Intro’ localization added Added some missing Korean Localization

Hmm thanks @EvilVIk, could you send us your output log after reproducing the issue? There might be something in there that helps us identify what's going wrong. Output Log When the issue occurs, close the game client, find this file, then attach it to your post Steam Location: \Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity II\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\output_log.txt GOG Location: \GOG\Games\Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\output_log.txt GOG Galaxy: \GalaxyClient\Games\Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\output_log.txt OSX Location: ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

All changes for the early June patch should be in the beta branch now. However I know there is more that the team wants to change, so do expect more in future patches.

Yes. Saves should always be forward compatible, that is if you opt into the beta, and then we release a new version, your saves should continue to work; unless there is a bug in the beta branch, which is possible. We try to check for this before we launch new builds to the beta, but there's always a chance that something gets by.

Sorry about that, I updated the spoiler note for Maia to be correct, thanks for pointing that out. Also, we have a potential fix to the *very long* startup that some users have been reporting (please let us know if build 31 fixes this, or if it is still happening for you!). Here are the changes in build 31, updating original post as well: Build 1.1.0.0031 Updates Potential fix for very long start-up time (before the Obsidian logo was shown)If you were experiencing this bug, please let us know if this is resolved for you in build 31. Removed the "Show News" game option, which in turn fixes the Disabled News bug Fixed issue with opening the Options in the Prologue after Character Creation resetting the player's class when arriving to their body. Fix party AI not reconnecting decision trees when dismissed and recruited. Various Partial hair fixes Fixed the Ability Bar subrows flickering for 1 frame when you hovered over a spell level icon. Hasongo, Ashen Maw, and Ukaizo are now flagged as "Critical Path" for level scaling purposes. Fixed issue where auto-granted abilities weren't added back when retraining.
