Hello! ive been enjoying the game so far.  I have linked a screen shot. I leveld up Eder before I leveled up my main toon. I ended up copying Eder. When i move my main (eder's Clone) I hear his voice, not my mains (a girls voice).

 

not realy sure...

Umm... i was going to edit my prior post... but i could not see it.

I opend the charactor screen on my main toon. (the one who has been cloned into Eder) And the body is Eder, but the head was my toon, but with really messed up hair. It is kinda of funny and thought you would like to see as well.

Yeah same bug here, in the Sea Cave w just me and Eder. When we both leveled, I chose to level him up first and after finishing, my character was duped as described above.

[tonyclyde]

Also persists through map transition and save/reload.

[Napster]

Same bug,  that level 2 to eder really weird lol

[BigBossManXXXX]

I've got the same issue which i posted on Steam earlier.

So I leveled up with Eder and I noticed suddenly I had twice the Eder portrait.

 

Not only that but even my stats and class of my main changed to Eder...

 

Ow and "you aren't allowed to upload this kind of file" so I can't provide a save file where it happened.

 

I tried several times and I can't seem to reproduce it.

 

[Emeus]

After I level Eder up, my character becomes him! he's even using Eder's move, he smokes!

 

And I did notice some strange save profile duping, the same character has 3 save profiles, probably because I reload on the boat? Or that I added cosmic pets during prologue? I'm not sure :s

[trebz]

I had this issue too from level 2 to 3, seemed to be when I levelled up Eder first. Reloaded save game and levelled the protaganist up first and all was well.

[trebz]

Save file with issue attached - note name of save file is now Eders, not my main chars.

I had this issue too and wanted to add some info for clarity, and some files.

 

The bug is not consistantly reproducable. Loading the a save immideately before leveling up Eder, and following the same procedure (incl. the same picks), does not reproduce the bug.

To resolve the issue in the meanwhile, load a savegame from before the bug triggered.

 

 

 

The really wierd thing about the bug is that Eder didn't even bother uttering "resistance is futile!" before assimilaring my character into the Borg.

Funfact: even the savegame I made after the replication was renamed from my mains name into "Eder". XD

It has gotten developer response so this thread should be deleted @emeus

Reply in the other thread instead.

Hi, 

 

I was in the cave near the beginning zone where you pick up the Dwarf, and I leveled up Eder, when I came out of the level up screen, both of my characters were eder. Even showing 2 Eders on the text aventure parts, and going through a loading screen doesn't resolve the issue either. 

[Taytay]

Bug report. Version 1.02.

 

During the level up process, Eder has partially overwritten the Watcher character in my game. My Watcher is now named Eder, has Eder's stats and has Eder's profile picture and voice.

 

Much as I love Eder, I feel that a spare copy of him is going too far.

Action history:

 

Started game, user created history.

Went to Port Thingy, picked up Xoti and a few quests.

Went back to Vilario's Rest.

Levelled up in the cave, first level gain of the game. XP came from rescuing Beodul.

Levelled up Eder first, leveling screens looked normal. After completing level up, returned to normal view to find my Watcher was now also Eder.

Levelled up Xoti, which did not help.

Unable to level up Watcher - initially Watcher had the level up + icon, but following the overwrite this has disappeared.

I have attempted leaving the area and returning, it did not help.

 

Save attached.

 

Let me know if you need further data.

I think this was reported already here - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97514-companions-main-char-duplicated-eder/?hl=eder

 

But more data always helps!

[TripH]

Sigh... plus one to this.

 

Just leveled up once after having to restart and now the PC is also Eder. Might have been related to putting Eder in the first portrait slot, as I did not do that last time through.

[MrZzyzzx]

This happened to me too.  Eder is taking over.

[wintrmute]

I'm on the latest patch (according to Steam, as of 24 May 2018 AEST) -- this just happened to me.

I levelled up Eder to level 2, and suddenly the watcher became Eder too!

 

Is this reversible, or do I have to go back to my last auto-save?

 

And if I go back, what is the trick to NOT having Eder duplicate himself again? Is there some order of levelling up that is safer?

[Captain Matt]

game crashes in Sea Cave opening mission after Eder clones himself and now I have two Eders and my play character is also Eder(except for equipment screen) this "cloning" happened after I leveled up Eder. I leveled Eder up before I leveled mysel up..  then attached file error message and crash to black screen. locked out my interface, keybaord/mouse could not report it I also attach screenshot. this is very bazaar even for a bug. I have tried reloading the save but it is still cloned. my character doesn't level up he is a Paladin, not a "swashbuckler" like Eder is.  His hair is brown, and longish not blonde and longish, Eder's hair is short and when I click his profile that is what is shown when I click mine, a profile like eder with long blonde hair is shown. this is the most bazaar bug I've seen in A.I. the other thing is, he retains my equipment in my character slot and his own in his. additionally, I cannot find my class or any ability to level up my play character. I chose a Paladin for me and a dual class fighter/rogue for Eder. in "windowed" mode I cannot "alt-tab" to desktop during the crash and cannot F4-shfit either. this is the GOG version updated fully to date of this posting.

I didn't get the crash, but I apparently like Eder so much that I have become him. Like you it was in the first cave during the first level up and I opted to level Eder first.

 

Anyways a screen shot - http://steamcommunity.com/id/usana/screenshot/919177627921216036 - Weirdest part is the abilities I had popping up beside my watcher ability.

 

I almost couldn't find the save game due to it being labeled Eder rather than my player character. No just before save, because I didn't think I needed to save much in the Sea Cave or before the first level. So the auto save is the closest save. I tried to load from the auto save. Perform same actions and get you a just before save with the level up choices I made. But it didn't want to be reproduced.

Eder duplication has been reported - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97514-companions-main-char-duplicated-eder/?hl=eder - but I don't recall the crash being mentioned before.
