Explored maps are now unexplored.

[Skooma]

Hello everyone,

 

I am posting now because my save is kind of broken and it kills my gaming experience on this otherwise beloved game Please apologize if this topic has been discussed somewhere else, I only found a related topic with similar bugs but it had not been solved since the poster did not join any files.

 

So here is the problem description :

• previously explored maps became unexplored, all monsters have respawn!
• as a consequence, picked up items can be picked up again : for example, I have now at least six duplicates of “unique” yellow items in my inventory.
• as another consequence, some PNJ’s tell me a second time the same things as they did already. And visions appear a second time too. Dialog options that I chose the first time are visible as already chosen (darker grey).
• other consequence : some previously locked areas that request a special key are now locked forever because I did the quest at a former time, I accessed these zones and now the maps have reset but not the associated quests (e.g. Brakenburry sanatorium basement).
• the messenger for the Yenwood battle has appeared different times in my stronghold with the same dialog, he even was present in duplicate at some point.
• the dialogs and questline of this Yenwood battle appeared in some strange order that was not logical at all.
• a dialog icon on Éder portrait continually shows that my warrior companion has something to tell me. But when I talk to him, no new dialog options appear and Éder has nothing special to tell me... Maybe this is because the dialog triggred already before the bug appeared, I don't know.

The first time I noticed explored maps being unexplored was when coming back from the fifth level of Endless Paths of Od Nua. But ok… I really thought it has something to do with the “endless” appellation and I thought it was on purpose. But then I came back in my stronghold and in the outside world and it was the same thing… So I was annoyed about it but I continued playing. And then other strange consequences happened. I have to admit that I do not enjoy playing like that…

 

But the thing is... I really can not be sure when it started happening. Since I did not post here on the first day, I do not have the output log and a savegale from directly after things happend for the first time. So I link here the files I think my be useful (a curent savegame and output log and a savegame that I think was from a time before the bugs appeared).

 

Here is the link to all my files (that's google drive, not dropbox since dropbox is not free anymore as far as I understand).

Thank you for your attention,

Hi there, did anybody at least record the issue somewhere? I started a new game from scratch but I am scared it might happen again
