Companion muted if party > 6 characters

[eLPuSHeR]

Hello.

 

I am trying to determine what causes this but, so far, I have being unable to. I am pretty sure this happened to me before the 1.03 patch too.

 

Description:

 

Your created PC/companion will be muted (i.e, no barking sound when clicking on his/her portrait) if your party is already made up of six characters.

 

Steps to reproduce.

 

Fill up your party with six characters. I believe I created my main char and another one and then I added up three characters you can recruit on several maps (Aloth, Edér, Durance and/or Kana).

 

After creating a new character and swapping her for Aloth, she is utterly muted. Not a big deal but annoying.

Do you have the gog version or the steam version?

 

The steam version has an hotfix that fixes a bug with hireling loosing their voice sets.

I'm having same issue. I have steam version with hotfix but my hireling is still mute. Tried sending away and recruiting few times with no success.

I think the hirelings bugged before the hotfix will remain bugged.

Try making a new one, dismiss and recruit it again in the keep.
