Stuck in Cutscene

[Esser-Z]

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!

[Esser-Z]

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!

[Esser-Z]

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.

[Raventhull]

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

[krixan]

not working here either

[cthulhuspinky]

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

[Raventhull]

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?

[cedon]

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

[Devard]

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.

[Sh4DoW]

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

[Devard]

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. 

[colmortimer1066]

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
