Slog Zone Bug

[SlogZoneBug]

Dear BugHunters

 

I ventured out from the first  port (Port Majie ?) and traveled towards Nekataka making some stops on the way and killing some bounties ( i had some Blessings activated , the double class skill for 3 and the level up to lvl 4 for 12) i stopped on the uncharted island on the way to Nekataka that contains an undead swamp and undead crypt. In the swamp you are ambused on dryland and waves of undead come and attack you from the swamp. At first i died in the slog zones in the swamp and loaded my auto save. when i loaded the auto save all my characters had the slog zone debuff even though they were still on dry land, i thought nothing of it at first but then the debuff stayed on no matter what i did. i tried being knocked unconscious, i tried reloading, i tried changing zones, i tried to "cure it" with debuff despellers. but i now permanently have the Slog Zone debuff on the whole of my party.

 

please help

 

thank you and good day.

 

Regards

SZB

(great game otherwise)

Greetings,

 

My apology for any inconvenience this slog-zone debuff has caused you, btw great find though! In the meantime I'm entering a ticket on your behalf to our development team so that we can get this issue examined.

 

Cheers.

Same issue, just 2 party members though, zoning/dieing/reloading has no effect

I got this bug as well, but managed to shrug it off by entering terrain that had the slog zone debuff again and then exiting it. It somehow sometimes gets stuck on characters.

I also have this bug. Not sure when it started though, two companions are stuck with the debuff, spells nor resting help. Can anyone tell me where i can find another slog zone to attempt the fix suggested by Hannah?

Yes, yes! That does help. I cured myself on Gorecci Street.

I used the baths in the Luminous Bathhouse in Neketaka (Periki's Overlook) and it got rid of the "Slog Zone" condition - probably because characters go waste deep in water.  Cost 1000gp (900 with discount) but is a reliable spot to get this fixed.

This bug is still in game. I had it (discovered it in the island where you pick  the witch grimoire for nemnok.

 

used the bath trick to get rid of it.

What a joke, this bug still in the game. Honestly can't recommend this game to anyone with such bad support.

There's a workaround for this in the Community Patch that sets it to clear on rest:
https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/335

If you just want the workaround then:

1. Open Notepad, then copy & paste the following into it:

{
  "GameDataObjects": [
    {
      "$type": "Game.GameData.AfflictionGameData, Assembly-CSharp",
      "DebugName": "AFF_Slog_Zone",
      "ID": "06ae3f34-ebfb-4cc9-bca0-c488dbe197b4",
      "Components": [
        {
          "$type": "Game.GameData.StatusEffectComponent, Assembly-CSharp",
          "ClearOnRest": "true",
          "ClearOnFoodRest": "true"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

2. Save the file as: "slog_zone_clear.gamedatabundle" (make sure there is no ".txt" at the end of the file when you save it)

3. Move it inside of a new folder within the "override" folder.

• "override" can be found inside the "PillarsOfEternityII_Data" directory located somewhere like:
  • Steam: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\"
  • GoG: "C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Games\Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\"

Waddle over to an inn or somewhere you can rest and do so and that should clear it.

Alternatively you can remove it from all current party members with Console commands (Cheat's Disable Achievements):

Spoiler

In game open the console by:

• PC: Pressing the tilde ~ or backtick ` key located next to the number 1 on your keyboard.
• Xbox/Playstation:  Holding down the Left Trigger (Xbox: LT, Playstation: L2) and clicking in the Right Thumbstick. This should bring up the Virtual keyboard.

Activate cheat commands by typing:

IRoll20s

PC: Press the Enter key to confirm.
For Xbox/Playstation: once the command is entered close the onscreen keyboard and click the Right Thumbstick in twice to confirm.

Open the console again, and enter the following:
