So I got the Steam version to try the new patch, and moved over the files from my GOG install that were for the Kickstarter backer items to the Steam installation, and it kind of worked. I got the Kickstarter backer achievement, and I got my Order of Obsidian cloak, and the pre-order bonus items were there too now on a new character, hurrah! However, the Tiny Obisdian Wurm pet did not show up this time. I got my space piggy, but not the tiny dragon. Did they show up in your game since you updated to the beta? Need to figure out if this is something on my install only, or if the new beta has a problem with the wurm, or possibly it could be that there is a problem with me using the file for the wurm from the old GOG version with this new updated version.

Turns out on Steam you can select either the current Beta branch which is supposed to fix that, or choose the Legacy branch to go back to the 2017 version. No luck for us GOG second-class citizens though, unless Obsidian makes these branches available on GOG Galaxy. Anyway, hope this helps so you can jump back in with a new character. I'm also a sufferer of collector OCD, so I too have just been unwilling to play until I get these items back.

Since one of the fixes is about GOG achievements, do you guys have a beta branch on GOG? GOG Galaxy supports different game branches, but if you put this beta up there it's locked as private. If that's the case, can you make the password available for us so we GOG users can access the beta? Personally, I just really want to start a new character and have access to my kickstarter rewards, but I haven't been able to do that since you bugged the game with the June 2024 update.

Did they ever fix this for you? I'm on GOG, and was a kickstarter backer, and on the newest version 3.7.1.1411 with the DLCs installed, but the only item I have is the Obsidian Order Cloak. If I reload my old saves from 2015 and 2016, all the pre-order and kickstarter items are on those characters, but not for any newly created characters. Wondering if they fixed this on Steam or if its still broken for both Steam and GOG. GOG doesn't have a beta branch I can test out like Steam does.

Hi Justin, first of all, thanks for your awesome work, you did an excellent job on the soundtracks. I went to that soundcloud page, but I can't actually download or purchase the songs from there. The link to the Amazon site results in a 404. A seach of Amazon shows that the White March Soundtrack is not available at all on Amazon to purchase. I tried Spotify and got the same results. I can't (and won't) use iTunes, so that's a bust. There is no way to even search the iTunes store without downloading their invasive software on my PC, and I'll never do that. Can you look into why Amazon and other distributors don't carry it any longer? If at all possible, I'd love to be able to purchase it from the Google Play store, that's where all my music library is in the first place.

I agree, it would be ready nice to know when this patch will go live. I've been dealing with the bug where the journal and visions never update and it is beyond annoying to be 3/4 through with the game and have a blank journal and zero visions logged.

Why remove the benefit of one-handed fighting when using a shield? The shield focus does nothing for offense.

I have the same problem. I created a new character (Aumaua Barbarian) a few days ago and have now become the master of Caed Nua, however my Biography does not have a single update in it besides my initial character selection and backstory choices. The visions list is also completely blank. Please please please fix this, it is hindering my enjoyment of the game greatly.

Thanks, mate. will try this out.

Did you uninstall the backer beta? When I first installed the released game, I had the same problem that you had, but after I uninstalled the backer beta, I was able to zoom way the hell in like I wanted to. Now, however, the new patch has completely goofed the zoom system up terribly.

Not to mention that the people that chose the DRM-free version from GOG don't even have achievements, because they are a pretty ridiculous thing to begin with. This game is an RPG, so it has plenty of replay value on its own merits than needing to artificially manufacture reasons to keep playing with achievements. I, like so many others on here, can't fully reply to this type of nonsense without risking a ban. Ugh. I keep losing respect more and more for younger gamers.

Well, the new patch (1.03) broke my zoom now. Uninstalled and reinstalled without the new patch. I play at 2560x1440, so being able to zoom in is way too important for me. I'd rather have a little pixelation but a more intimate atmosphere, than barely be able to see the action at all. Gross.

I just wanted to comment that when I beta testing this game I was really really annoyed with not being able to zoom in very far at all, since I play at 2560x1440. It was so bad in the beta that I actually had to play at 720p to get a feeling similar to the old IE games. I was very much relieved to find that the devs listened to our complaints in the initial release build, and I was able to zoom in satisfactorilly, and even a bit more that was needed, which was very nice. It did indeed create a bit of pixalation on the background images, but that wasn't really that bad, especially since the models and textures were still beautiful when zoomed in on. Now I just installed the latest patch, v 1.03, and my zoom is completely broken! First of all, in inside environments I cannot zoom in or out at all, it is locked, and locked at a zoom out level that I think is way too far. Since I play at a very high resolution, I don't want there to be tons of black space surrounding the insides of a small hut, I'd rather have it zoomed in pretty close to minimize the wasted space and create a more intimate and warm atmosphere. Secondly, when in outdoor environments, I can still zoom in, but not nearly as much. There used to be 10 levels of zoom in using my scroll wheel, the default being level 5, where i could zoom in five times from the default to max, and zoom out five times from default for minimum zoom. Now there are only 7. Is this a bug with the patch, or is this just a new (to quote Microsoft when they break things) "feature" to ruin my experience? It was so annoying that I immediately quit playing and uninstalled the game and reinstalled the original, unpatched version.

Restarting was not helpful for me at all. However, I still had the backer beta installed when I installed my GOG copy. I ended up uninstalling both the backer beta and the GOG version and then reinstalled the GOG version and all is well. This also cleared up a few other oddities like some options were missing (that I was not aware even existed since they were not int he backer beta). All is working since my reinstall. I hope I don't encounter this bug again, since it was gamebreaking and in reality I lost a couple of good solid game playing days to try to get this working.
