thejonvincent Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I know a lot of people have been affected by the inventory bug, including myself. I'm not sure if my human Paladin lost anything. I was able to restore my party members by dismissing them and then recruiting them again. I'm 14 hours in....I'm not starting over and I'm too caught up in the game to stop playing, so screw it. I'm only level 4. I'll drag and drop from here on out, I figure the game can't be crippled too much. Who's pushing on? Who's waiting out a patch?
Reever Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I've been using drag and drop the whole time and after having read about the bug I just continued doing so. Hope things get fixed for everybody soon enough.
Gibbscape_Torment Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I just don't think the bug is significant enough to warrant a reroll. I mean, sure my death godlike doesn't have the extra damage when enemies have low endurance, but i'm not bloody restarting just because of that. I'm kind of surprised that so many people either stopped playing or rerolled because they lost a little bonus that doesn't really do much. 1
Osvir Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Pushing on, of course. Level 8 and a half, 30-ish hours.Hopping in now.Cya again
ISC Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I just don't think the bug is significant enough to warrant a reroll.

I'm kind of surprised that so many people either stopped playing or rerolled because they lost a little bonus that doesn't really do much. I have characters with lots of extra endurance, accuracy, defence stats, some attributes and a few double abilities (confident aims, blinding strikes, constant recoveries). No wonder the game was getting easier. I really wanted to push on, and tried to salvage what I could using the console for a while, but its really out of hand now. I usually don't care about bugs but this is unsolvable and screws up the whole balance, so I'll just have to.. wait
Gibbscape_Torment Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I thought the bug only got rid of buffs? Are we talking about the double click equipment bug here?
ISC Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I thought the bug only got rid of buffs? Are we talking about the double click equipment bug here? It's not (only?) about double clicking equipment (I never do). But yeah, its prob the same thing. Abilities duplicate for whatever reason.
thejonvincent Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Yeah, I'm of the same mind as mentioned above, a little buff loss hardly ruins the game. No more double clicking from here on out. But I just got my keep and started down the Endless Paths, I'm not rerolling over this.
ToolofIsis Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I tried but I can't. Aloth just disappeared on me. I've never played a game where an entire character just vanished.
R.Alexander Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I have yet to run into any bugs other than the double-click equipping one, and only because I wanted to see if it would work as I had always been dragging to equip things. So I will continue playing until something really bad happens.
Ink Blot Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Doesn't this bug 'stack'? If you keep double clicking you keep losing more and more bonuses? If so, that might be a big incentive to start over.
R.Alexander Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 How can it stack? It removes all of your bonuses. You can't take away from nothing. You could get more bonuses later and then remove those I assume.
Longknife Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Anyone mind explaining what exactly this bug is for those of us who don't know yet? "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?
R.Alexander Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Anyone mind explaining what exactly this bug is for those of us who don't know yet? If you double click a piece of equipment to equip it to your character all active bonuses will disappear. For activated bonuses, this is "okay" because you can just reactivate them, but for passive, always active bonuses you just lose them forever. If you do it to any party member that is not the main character, you can just dismiss and re-recruit them to get the bonuses back i believe.
Nukenin Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'm getting ready to roll out with a greatsword-wielding rogue knowing full well the game is riddled with bugs the way the strategy guide's backer list is riddled with HTML entity codes. I reroll/restart early and often anyway, so I'll have my fun, same as I did before I gained enlightenment. I hope some of the more egregious issues get fixed briskly and thoroughly in a day 5 patch, though… --/\/
Tigranes Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 The bug is 'fixable' for party members right now, so all you lose is the permanent ability bonuses for your PC. It needs to be fixed but it's hardly a reason to stop playing. I'm doing just fine continuing on. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Leferd Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Doesn't effect me since I never double click to equip. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Kiya Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I also was lucky enough to only drag and drop weapons - I also heard about the Raedric's Hold bug before going there. So I'm just ignoring that quest for now and pushing on. I've completed Act I and am adventuring in Defiance. Loving it so much! Edited March 30, 2015 by Kiya
Katarack21 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'm, like 26 hours in. No way in hell am I rerolling for that.
sp3cw4r Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I also was lucky enough to only drag and drop weapons - I also heard about the keep bug before going there. So I'm just ignoring that quest for now and pushing on. I've completed Act I and am adventuring in Defiance. Loving it so much! Keep bug? I just got there, what's this bug?

Sorry I meant the Raedric's Hold bug when doing the Lord of a barren land quest. There have been a lot of reports of people either getting stuck in the hold unable to get out or unable to get back in and although there is a workaround of deleting certain files some people have continued to have problems going other places afterwards so i just havn't done that quest in the first place as it doesn't seem to stop you from advancing the main story. Hopefully Obsidian will release a fix before I finish the game Edited March 30, 2015 by Kiya

Hopefully Obsidian will release a fix before I finish the game got'cha, thanks for filling me in. I've not been to Raedric's Hold nor Defiance Bay yet, I've just entered the Endless Paths dungeon and wondering how far I have to take it before I can claim the keep.

If it makes you feel any better I had zero issue with Raedric's hold. I actually did that before going to the keep. Just make a save before going in. You don't have to mess with endless path's too much before the keep is in your possession.
Bli1942 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Luckily I barely had time to play from release so I'm 4 hours in. I will just restart the same class, use it as opportunity to organize my stats a bit better from what I learned playing and do everything again with drag and dropping
exodiark Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 It's extra challenge guys!I'm a pro half-full guy.
