[BUG] Fantastic 5 but all invisible

[bartopolis1234]

I have a party of 5 beautiful but deadly orlans. Recently I found out that my party learnt the secrets of invisibility and saw it in action in 2 areas.

Little did I know that enemies in that area knew those secrets too

 

Ok, this is regarding BOW dlc and the area with mama bear. My party became invisible just as I entered this area as you can see in this image https://imgur.com/U7CKB3e

 

The enemies were invisible too and it was a grand battle of green circles vs red circles.

 

As soon as I went outside the cave things turned back to normal. https://imgur.com/EFDTzem

 

Again as I entered the temple of decline lowest area (where the dragon gets dragged in) my party became invisible.

Now after this I changed occlusion opacity from 0 to 0.3 and this was the result. image https://imgur.com/xwZv5yV

Now before you say anything about how my laptop is a big potato, this bug was not present in patch 2.0.1 and only Pallegina sometimes became invisible like this.

Hey Bartopolis!

 

This doesn't seem like it would be something wrong with your hardware as it looks like your party is spawning beneath the artwork.  I'll have the Area Design team take a look and if they don't see anything with this, then I'll have Environment Art investigate.  Would you be able to provide us with a copy of one of your save files where this is occurring in case we can't get a reproduction case with our own?

 

Thanks for all the help with this Bart!

Hi,

 

Thanks for replying. Here's the save file https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LVdsP4Qyp2M2l1MLgklCgRQ9U13_-sgD

 

Btw, spawning below surface definitely explains why some parts of the dragon was under the surface in the cutscene inside the temple and also the invisibility of the frozen warrior in that area.

Hey Bart!

 

Thanks so much for the save and the extra info about the dragon!  I'll send this to the team right away!

 

Thanks again for helping us out Bart!

UPDATE:

 

My party is still spawning under the artwork in BOW dragon 2nd fight in patch 3.0.

I am in patch 3.0 and I have the same problem (or a similar one) quite frequently. For me it doesn't happen when entering an area but during fights. Saving/loading or just reequipping the armor (both options possible only after the fights) fixes this for me.  Here are a few examples of this occurrence from areas part of the SSS DLC:

 

• all my party members besides Aloth have become "transparent", don't know what triggered this

 

 

• here is the party after finishing the battle in the arena, this is a new area but the "transparency" issue remains

 

 

@bartopolis1234

 

It would be great if you could contact a moderator to remove from the title the part with "[patch 2.1]" as it looks like it's affecting also patch 3.0. I would do it myself but seeing that it's you that started the thread, I figured that you should have the decision on this.

UPDATE:

 

My party is still spawning under the artwork in BOW dragon 2nd fight in patch 3.0.

 Confirmed, and this is also still happening in the Temple of Decline.  It appears that neither of the 3.0.x line of patches have fixed this issue that was first introduced with patch 2.1.

 

@kmbogd: that's not the same bug.  The characters in your screenshots aren't spawning beneath the scenery, they are not being rendered properly.  Please consider editing your post and starting a new thread with that bug to avoid conflating possibly unrelated issues.

Hey everyone,

 

Thank you for the updates!  I've gone ahead and added information for the bugs to the reports and pinged the appropriate Environment Art developers to look into the issues.

 

Thanks again, and sorry for these inconveniences.
