Enemies that revive

[comrado]

I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION - MY GAME WAS CORRUPTED, JUST NEEDED TO REINSTALL IT.

 

 

 

 

Hello,

 

I have just started my adventure with Pillars of Eternity (on PC - Steam) and I have already encountered a bug that more or less prevents me from enjoying the game.

When I fight with monsters (for example that young wolf near berry bush at the start of the game) and kill them they go back to life, lose hp bar and red circle around them, become untargetable and wreck my **** until one of my party members gets maimed.

 

I have been searching for any solutions and found some similar cases from the past:

Was this bug ever fixed?

Am I the only one unlucky or others also have it now?

 

I tried starting a new game or reloading save, but it's still happening. I can't get anywhere because of it, the farthest I have been were the caves/ruins after the ambush at campsite.

 

Send help.

UPDATE:

 

As I have found out, this bug apparently happens only when fighting monsters and animals, human enemies are not bugged.

 

Also I have managed to find somewhat of a temporary "solution" to this problem. Whenever I kill a monster I run away before it revives, so it won't aggro on me. Then I go back stealthed and shoot it with bow FROM MAX RANGE so it won't aggro on me immidietly. This one shot will make it untargetable, and I ran away again to not aggro it again. Now I can come back and monster is still there but it's not responding anymore to me, so I can safely pass.

 

This "solution" is really annoying, especially when dealing with groups of enemies, because you have to really carefully pick them with bow.

 

This really needs to be fixed ASAP.

I had the same issue. I just verified the game files and there were 5 corrupted files. Now it is going well.
