Stuck in Cutscene

So! I'm really liking the game. For the little bit I got to play it. See, I got out of the first cave, went forward and triggered dialogue. Okay! I go through the dialogue and a cutscene starts. The guy walks forward onto a raised platform and... stops. Nothing else visual happens as dramatic sound plays. The sound finishes and everyone is just standing there, in cutscene mode. I can't do ANYTHING.

Hi Esser-Z, 

 

Can you please attach your output logs and a save game after the issue occurs?

 

Output log:

\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\output_log.txt

 

Save Game:

C:\Users\(username)\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity

 

Also could you include specs of your system?

 

Thanks!

I can't post a save from AFTER the issue, because I never regain control--I'm stuck in the cutscene indefinitely. Attached the output log, though.

 

I'm running on my laptop, Win7x64, Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 @2.53 Ghz 2.54 ghz, 4gb RAM, NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M graphics. The game has been running totally fine... until this cutscene, where it hangs!

I had the exact same issue. 

 

I have a Win 7 SP1; Asus Notebook N53SV; Intel i7-2630QM 2.00 GHz; 4 GB RAM; 64-bit OS; NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M.

 

Not sure how I would attach the relevant files.

 

Going to restart my system and see if that helps.

If you're getting stuck in a cutscene, can you try turning off Anti-Aliasing and report back please?

 

To turn off Anti-Aliasing press the ` key to open the console and enter msaa 0 and hit enter.

 

Thanks!

That fixed it! Thanks a ton!

Doesn't work for me. And an off-topic question but why aren't there more graphic options to turn on/off? my game is noticeably smoother after turning aa off, it would be useful to have this kind of stuff out there.

Its not working for me either I have tried using msaa but still hangs on that cutscene

not working here either

What worked for me is to reset my machine - I hadn't done it since I installed the game. 

A Reset got me passed the cutscene :)But now there is a spotlight on my guy and the fog of war dosnt go away.Anyone know a way to fix this?

did the ` msaa 0 trick and it worked great, thanks

Both restarting and using the 'msaa 0' trick did not fix the problem for me.

 

I'm running the game on an i5 Surface Pro 3.

I had the same issue on my Macbook pro with Yosemite. A reset of the system helped.

Turning of anti-aliasing and reducing the game's resolution to the lowest possible option fixed the problem for me.

 

The other thread for the same problem is here.

I too have an i5 Surface Pro 3 and had to do both resolution and AA change to pass this point.

This should be stickied. I had the same bug and the console trick (msaa 0) worked like a charm. It also greatly improved the performance of my game. Not sure why. Thanks a bunch. 

This is an odd bug...I had actually played through a fair bit of the game just fine, and then today, made a new character and buffed the difficulty and then hit this bug.  I wonder why it worked fine the first playthrough?

 

At least you all found a fix for it
