[BUG] Loading a savegame opens character editor

[Boeroer]

Hi!

 

With the new Backer Beta (v0.0.0.0021 Backer Beta Release 2.0886 BB -steam on Linux)

 

I have the following problem: Whenever I save the game (I'm still in the starting village) and reload, the character editor opens and I'm forced to reroll my main char again. Only the name is that of my previsously rolled char, the rest is gone. Once I finish this forces char creation the savegame loads and I'm exactly where I saved last time - but with a new main char who replaced the old one.

 

This only occured after the new patch was released. Before that I never encountered this problem. 

 

What's this?

 

My savegame (happens with all current savegames by the way):

Just restarted the computer, made a new char, leveled all companions to lvl 6, went in to the village, talked to Vektor, bought some stuff (did not use the console or whatever) and saved.

 

When I try to reload the same issue as reported above occurs. I can't play the beta at all - only if I'd do a playthrough without saveing/reloading.

 

Does anybody else experience this bug?

I can't get Deadfire to launch at all now. Not sure what happened. Everything was fine until yesterday. Was a new update pushed out yesterday?

I also have the feeling it's like that since yesterday. I didn't see any update process with steam.

Hm, there was a PoE1 update, but not an update for the PoE2 Deadfire beta. Gonna check it out. Not playing on Linux though.

 

@JFutai: Is that on Windows or Linux?

I'm on a Macbook Pro 13" retina, macOS X.12.6.

Not reproducing it on windows.

My problem definitely involves the Steam app. I found the PoE II app and it launches independently just fine. I didn't even know that was an option. Still will not open through the Steam app.

Ha! I found out how I can circumvent this issue: when I open the console and type CloseAllUIWindows that chargen window closes and I can start playing without ruining my character. So what's triggering this weird bug? Some visibility or layer-order issue?

 

Edit: No - forget it. All my abilites and spells are lost then... BUMMER!

I don't know what you did with the latest patch, but this way I can't play the Deadfire beta anymore. I simply can't load savegames without the char editor opening with every reload and messing up my main char.

 

I uninstalled and reinstalled Deadfire, uninstalled and reinstalled Steam, even upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10: all to no avail. This beta is over for me until you put out another patch I think.

 

Sad but true.

 

And it seems that it's only me who has this problem. Weird...

I tried your savefile and I can load it, I'm on Windows system.

 

Level up your char and save/load works too. I think it is a Linux only problem...

Can you run it with the .exe outside of steam? JFutral found that he could run it outside of steam and that it was the steam client having a problem.

 

Also, did you have a recent update to anything the day before (besides PoE1) or the day that you ran into the bug?

[Boeroer]

Good joke with the .exe.

 

No, I did not yet try to start the game out of steam. Maybe I will try that next. But I don't think it's a problem that's caused by steam. But I will give it a try.

 

I didn't change anything on my system before encountering this bug. But even if: how could it trigger the chargen screen to appear inside a game? This seems to be a problem of the Deadfire Beta, not something on my system's part.

 

I guess it's simply the new patch. Maybe I never tried to reload a save after it came out since I was only creating chars and testing them against consoled dummies. Only when I tried to do a proper run I did run into this reloading issue - I guess.

 

Maybe I should try to revert to the first version of the beta and see if the problem persists.

Just checked on windows, same beta build: not an issue here.

 

I totally forgot that I still have a windows partition and thus can continue to use the beta. But the linux version seems to be completely broken atm - at least for me.

Hey Boreoer and all,

 

This is definitely the steam version of Linux. It's been bugged and plaguing us for a bit, and the programmers are looking into the base cause for the issue. Sorry it's making Linux super problematic :/ 

 

Thanks!

Well, before this it went quite smoothly on Linux I have to say.

 

Thank you!
