Cannot transfer items from Stash to Inventory (error: you must camp or return to town to access that slot)

[Squibsallotl]

I cannot transfer any items from my Stash to my Inventory, across any of my saved games. I can transfer items from my inventory TO my stash, but not the other way around. When trying to transfer the destination slot is shaded red and I get the error "you must camp or return to town to access that slot" (see attached screenshot).

 

I encountered this issue while on patch 1.0.3 on Windows 8 64bit. I updated to patch 1.1.4 to try and fix it, but the patch did nothing. I then uninstalled the game (whilst keeping my saved games), reinstalled, re-patched to 1.1.4 and tried again, and I still encountered the error.

 

I then uninstalled the game again DELETING all my saved games, restarted my PC, reinstalled Pillars of Eternity to a different folder, re-patched and created a new character, and the new character is experiencing the SAME ISSUE.

 

So basically anything I transfer to my Stash is lost forever, on any character I create. Tried goggling the issue but no one else seems to be experiencing this as far as I can see. Please help, as the game is basically unplayable in this state.

Go to Options, Game, and check Don't Restrict Stash.

Well, that's embarrasing  Thank you, that worked. Irritating how that option somehow persisted through two uninstalls.

I suppose settings and save-games are kept even after an uninstall. Many games do that.

 

Anyway, you are welcome.

By the way, if you choose to play with that option turned off (ie with stash access restricted) then you can get items out of your stash if you go to an inn (for example).
