anyone else have a problem with party members or npcs bouncing/dancing/ jumping back and forth or around after finishing a movement command?

 

Not always but frequently, affects party more than npcs, stops if given other orders like go to scout mode or cancel/stop or talk to someone.

 

Is there a fix? Is it a recognized and reported issue?

 

Thanks.

Hey Felixg91,

 

Could you please upload your save file along with an output log via Dropbox and post the link? I'll then be able to look into this issue for you more closely. 

 

Thanks a bunch!

I am at work. Tomorrow i will, if i can figure out how. Thanks.

 

I really love this game. The bug is minor but annoying, occasionally very rarely party members get stuck to walls as well,maybe related?

You can find everything you need on this thread to learn how to get the necessary items needed for me to look at here: How to Report an Issue

 

If you do not have Dropbox, you can download the program here. https://www.dropbox.com/.  Its free and easy to use. 

 

Thanks!

No thank you, i should be the one exhibiting grattitude.

Hi Felixg91, I've got the exact same issue. I just put everyone into scout mode and they stop dancing/jumping.

 

I should note it only ever affects one party member at a time, they're not all doing it. Maybe it's related to my party formation?

Felixg91, for this particular issue it might be helpful to also record a brief video of the issue if you could.

Andrea i will be lucky to be able to send a saved game file....computer saavy and proficient I am not. Sorry thats why i ask for help.

 

Later today i shall attempt to do what Aarik D. Asked me for.

 

Elzarath i wish i could say i was glad to not be the only one with this issue. I have played around with formation and it doesnt affect it.

 

This is my third playthrough, it is annoying but not game breaking. I knew i couldnt be the only person geting this.

If there is a roadblock of any sort, e.g. narrow corridor or doorway or party member in front, companions in the back will "jump" or "dance" trying to get to the front to complete their assigned action.  This happens mostly in combat but can happen traversing areas if the back companions are told to move while the front ones are stationery.

No marchlord that may be related, but thats not the issue, it happens at the end of movement, no obstacles, they should just stand still since they have no other orders, and it happens in the middle of wide open areas, in dungeons out in the fields everywhere. a group is told to advance to point X then stop why are they still dancing around?

 

I never have it during combat at all so not the issue nor do i tell rear rankers to break formation and pass through the front rank, front rank is shields and hand arms and rear rank is missile weapons and spells decent interval between all unitsin the formation.

 

I am getting ready to try to send a savegame file to Aarik D. May be a bit. But here goes.

https://www.dropbox.com/home?select=78ee649eaaf0431e9eb4aa0f9951a031+16430351+Copperlane.savegame

 

is that what is needed?

Hey Felixg91,

 

I hope you had a great weekend.  Could you send me a shared link for your dropbox file? It looks like you sent me a link that requires me to log into your dropbox account. In dropbox, there should be a share option in the folder you have your save file.  Click on it and then click on share link and post that link here. 

 

Also if you could send an output log as well that would be fantastic. Do do that go to your steam folder.   My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > Pillars of Eternity > PillarsOfEternity_Data - look for the  "output_log.txt"

 

Thanks!

Ok I followed your instructions Aarik, whether I interpreted them correctly could be a whole other matter.

 

Now I will go get that output log as well.

that's the link to the output log in dropbox, is that right?

Perfect Felix!!! I'll take a look at your files as soon as I am able.

 

Keep up the good work!

Hey Felix,

 

I wasn't able to reproduce what you have stated. Are there any specifics to where this is occurring for you? (i.e. walking near walls, talking to npcs, etc..)  Any specific steps will be very helpful.  Can you also upload your system specs?

 

System Specs

This will give us most of your computer specs to help us diagnose the problem

Windows Location: Press (windowkey + R), Type "dxdiag" and press Enter, Click "Save All Information", Attach the file that you create

Mac Location: Click the Apple button in the corner of the screen, Click "About This Mac", Click "More Info", Copy and paste the Model and Year, Processor, Memory, Graphics, and Software information

Linux Location: Search for "system", Click "System Settings", Click "Details", Copy and paste all information

 

Thanks again!

I hope that's what you wanted as well.

 

I don't do anything special nor go anywhere in particular, happens all the time, give the party a move command then when they should be done and stand still they bounce, jump and dance.

 

Thanks Best Luck.

I still was not able to reproduce your issue, but I went ahead and sent this to the proper department to see if they can find anything.

 

Thank you for your help! 

Ok, well i thank you and hope that something can be done.

Okay well, now a week and no response, i assure you my issue is real, Elzarath also has this same annoying immersion breaking bug and if two people are saying that its there then there are always more who are not saying anything.

 

Some progress would be nice, please....thank you.

Hello again Felixg91,

 

As I have stated before, I have already written up a bug report and is currently in our database. 

 

Thank you for your patience.
