Soul Whip Not Working?

[VeritasWaits]

I just started Deadfire for the first time, and made it through most of Port Maje before realizing that my Mindstalker isn't working as intended. My weapon hits don't show bonus damage from soul whip in the combat log, and don't generate any additional focus. I have the focus I start the fight with, and once it's gone it's gone until the end of combat.

 

I've tried resting, re-loading, unequipping gear, and traveling to a new area but nothing works. Feeling bummed as I'm really enjoying the game but a Cipher with no focus gain isn't playable.

 

I do have the Unity Console installed, although I don't think that should matter. I read somewhere that someone else had this problem with Serafen which they fixed by removing him from the party and adding him again, but since this is my PC that won't work. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hello Veritas,

 

I'm sorry your Cipher isn't gaining the focus they should be gaining.  Would you be able to provide me with a save where this is occurring for you?  The team is going to test their own, but in the event they can't reproduce the issue, I'd like them to have a sample where the issue is occurring.  If needed, you can find instructions on where the saves are located here.  If the file is too large to attach here, would you then be able to send it to me at support@obsidian.net along with your forum user name and a link to this thread as a reference?

 

Thank you Veritas, and sorry for the inconvenience this is causing your playthrough.
