[Achievements disappear to one day to another, no cheats used..]

My achievements didn't disappear like his but I at a certain point in the game I just topped getting them despite never using a cheat

[Can't load saves after stealth-patch this morning]

Same problem with having to manipulate the saves folder to get the game to recognize the saves, had it for a while.

 

Don't have the crash to menu problem anymore, fixed that a while back.

[Continue and Load options grayed out on main menu]

I don't want to mark this as solved yet, but it seems to work everytime I remove a save.

 

If I remove save and start the game up, it'll load. However if I exit the session and then start a new one without removing another save it won't.

 

Really odd.

[Continue and Load options grayed out on main menu]

It used to do this often until eventually one of the times I restarted the game it would load, anyone know what to do about this?

 

The saves are all there and not corrupted, used the fix in the other threads a while back to get rid of that.

 

[Game won't load my saves]

Saves definitely aren't corrupted anymore but I still do get the grayed out buttons on the main menu like the picture in my last post :/

[SAVE GAME FIX]

Loading from a corrupt save still seems to make more corrupt saves regardless.

[Game won't load my saves]

I have found a working savegame fix the will load savegames and create new working non corrupt savegames

This has been tested and working on 3 different machines with 5 different save files myself and have had 2 other friends fix their savegames with this method.

First delete the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Obsidian Entertainment

Then delete the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Obsidian Entertainment

If you have any saves in C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Pillars of Eternity 

Copy them to C:\Users\username\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity

Run the game as admin and load the most recent save

Move your char and save a new save.  

Without exiting the game reload that new save.

Save again in the same save.

Exit the game.

That should work and create new files in LocalLow and Local\Temp

Though its probably unnecessary before i exit i save then i load my save and resave the same save everytime before i exit the game now.  I have my 60+ hour save now to 85 hours without an issue on multiple machines.

I can't tell if this actually is giving me non corrupt saves but I still get this screen 9 out of 10 times

[Game won't load my saves]

I just finished restoring from my Windows backup and the problem is finally fixed.  Newly created save files are back down to ~1.3 megabytes and they load with no problems.

 

Again, this bug is tough to remove once you get it.  It's not just a problem with the save files.  Uninstalling POE, deleting all save files, starting a new game and then immediately saving still resulted in a broken file.

 

I realize now that I should have tried deleting my POE settings files before restoring from a backup, just in case.  Maybe you should try that, Enigmatik!  I'd tell you where the settings files are stored but I'm not sure, myself.  I'm just pretty sure that they're not in the Steam folder.

epmode, your solution to my problem. I can't tell if it worked, the continue and load options are grayed out every other start.

 

In addition to that I can make a new save and load it but does seem somewhat large at 1,799 mb. Also my configuration preferences were still there despite purging everything PoE from my pc before the reinstall.

[Saved Games Disappear]

Having the same problem where it corrupts every new save I make.

[Transitioning to Areas - Lock Up, Can't Load Saved Games]

Seems to be similar to my problem.

[Game won't load my saves]

No idea how to edit my posts on here but I needed to update this saying that problem is bigger than I thought.

 

At times the continue and load options will be grayed upon starting the game, more importantly specific save files won't load. It seems that every time I make a new save they now become corrupted and won't load, this persists even after reinstalling the game.

Saves are attached BUT I've tried troubleshooting with a friend and it seems that while these saves do load, after the first time they load the new save corruption problem kicks in.

[Quick saving and loading times increased greatly after 20~ hours]

I have the same problem with the big save files but they won't load at all.

[Game won't load my saves]

There seems to be an issue where the game will both not recognize my saved games (Continue and Load buttons grayed out) nor load them (short black screen then back to menu when attempting to load). I've found a temporary fix for the recognition problem by moving my saves from C:\Users\Username\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity to C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\Obsidian Entertainment\Pillars of Eternity\CurrentGame but after exiting the game it will no longer load the saves made during that session despite it being in that folder.

 

Saves are below, frustrating issue

[Update 91: Closing in on March 26th!]

The whole second half of this thread is one giant First-World Problems meme.

 

"New video game releases at 10AM on Thursday, but didn't get to preload it in time to play it the second it fired up, *crying woman face*"

10am Pacific time?! This day just keeps getting worse./s

[KEEP PIRATE STYLE PISTOL PLZ]

Wait this wasn't already a planned feature?

 

I couldn't find a pistol in the beta, a rapier and a pistol combo was going to be the main weapon set for one of my planned characters

 

I need this Obsidian, pls.

[Backer Beta going live at 3:00 PM PDT]

404s across the board for me, I'm actually mad.

[Beta Release Time]

Might still be a few hours away then

It's like 3am where you are, go to bed.

[Backer Beta: Coming August 18th]

Adam Brennecke just tweeted that he is looking forward to the live backer beta today. So doesn't seem to be any delay. It's coming.

And so am I.

[Beta Release Time]

 

I just woke up, did I miss anything?

Just a bunch of people speculating and wondering why we haven't heard word one from Obsidian.

 

You also missed me of accusing them of being very "EA like" with their communications (or lack of thereof) on this.

 

I'm sure we can move that up to "Nintendo like" if we get a "Please Understand" from Sawyer.

[Streaming]

Not to toot my own horn, but.

I like this guide better just for using OBS.

[BETA LIVESTREAM INFO/COMPILATION: Bro, do you even Livestream?]

I'm doing a forum let's play on a place I go to, good luck with the streams although I will say that I actually prefer it when people don't use webcams.

[What Class do you plan to play first?]

I'm going to make the best damn swashbuckler I can.

[Armour & weapon designs (part V).]

I hope there's a scripted interaction where you could end up tripping because of your cape, just to spite everyone on page 2 of this thread.

[The final marketing drive - looking for a mainstream audience? Target the MOBA crowd]

Funnily enough I would think the easiest game to sell to a MOBA player would be a RTS. Besides people who enjoy RPGs, the people most likely to get into PoE would probably be those who play slower paced RTS or adventure games I think.

 

If you could convince people the game will have truly divergent choices, it should be somewhat easy to sell this game to younger people who like the new Telltale adventure games.

[Update #83: Backer Portal, Backer Beta, and Wasteland 2 Keys]

 

 

 

And my Stream Prep is going lousy. I've got the webcam and video capture to work, but the lag is almost a minute no matter what Bitrate I set.

Might that be an in-built setting? Usually 1-2 min delay is for competitive match streams to prevent cheating.

 

If he's using twitch or hitbox, then that would be the case.

 

Oh wow, never even though of that. So it's permanent? 

 

So, Ustream has no lag but deletes videos after thirty days. I think the lag might actually be good in this case. Is the chat room lagged, too?

 

In that they see the footage 1 minute behind yes, however the chat messages come up in real time for you. So the backseat gaming is probably going to be especially unhelpful depending on how fast you play
