[1.0.3.530 GOG] Can't open any container after installing patch [workaround inside].

[Metalloman]

[bug description]

 

Hello,

 

I have the GOG version of PoE, after installing the GOG patch 1.0.3.530 I encountered a bug: I can't open any container in game.

Combat loot containers, normal containers and hidden containers too are broken, I can hear the opening sound but no container GUI menù appears so I can't pick up any object inside them.

Loading a previous savegame doesn't solve anything; loading a savegame created from a previous PoE build doesn't solve anything.

 

[steps to reproduce it]

 

- Install the GOG version of PoE (first build, non patched);

- Start a game;

- Verify that you can open containers like chests, corpse loot containers, hidden containers;

- Save the game;

- Patch PoE with GOG 1.0.3.530 patch;

- Load the game;

- Verify that you can't open containers anymore, seeing no container GUI menù to appear.

 

[Expected behavior]

 

Containers should open as it was like in the previous PoE build.

EDIT: [possible workaround, post here if this works or not]

 

- Close PoE;

- Restart PoE;

- Load a savegame.

 

Verify if you are able to open containers again, if yes, problem "solved".

 

ATM I don't know if the issue might reoccur.

Does that happen in a new game created in the recent patch directly aswell?

Added the DxDiag.txt log file.

Ok, sorry for double posting, I've done some tests:

 

It looks like that creating a New game with GOG patch 1.0.33.530 doesn't let the issue to appear, also, I tried to close PoE, reopen it, load my last savegame again and I was able to open containers again.   

 

So, in the end the issue is solved temporarily, even if I'll let you know if the issue reoccurs with the current PoE build.

 

I'm editing the OP with this workaround to solve the issue.
