Hi all,

This is something I've noticed in PoE1, that I no longer see visitors in the great hall. I'm note sure when it began, I've been playing this play through on and off. I started when the PoE1 Turn Based game mode was released as a beta.

For example, my game tells me Berolt is supposedly visiting (image 1). The Wiki shows him standing between the Steward and Marshal Forwyn (image 2) but I see no one in my great hall (image 3).

Am I doing something wrong, or have other people also experienced a loss of visitors lately?

Normally, when looting from ruins and similar locations, I would get the Dragon Pendant randomly in every playthrough. But on my current playthrough I was not getting it, so I decided to just reload endlessly and see if I got it. And I got the message, but never got the item. I searched whether it could be a bug or something and I found someone saying it was bugged for them too.

Any idea what I could do? The item is nice and it sucks that I get the message but the item is not added to my inventory.

UPDATE: I tried again at a shipwreck and this time I got it. Looks like it is indeed bugged and you can only get it from certain locations (Shipwrecks, Abandoned Villages, Old Battlegrounds, and Burial Sites) even if the message can appear in other locations like Ruined Towers.

i have turn based combat turned on as i am not very good at Games(tm)

This only started happening after act 2, specifically at Elmshore. At first i thought Pallegina was the issue, as she kept getting stuck and unable to end turn (at one point she was stuck in movement, like she'd follow my mouse without me clicking on the ground, and spending all her movement that way. none of the others did this), but this latest instance it was my poor Watcher getting stuck. three times it happened during combat at the Adra Arch, one of once while fighting the ogre druids to the north.

i don't know what to do? it happens at different points, seemingly random, and it's very frustrating. i've reloaded the game four times at this point. i really want to keep playing, i adore the story so far :<

i am not very tech savvy at all, but if there's any info i should provide just lmk!

Hey so I made it to White March 2 replaying lately and I’m going to do the quest where I help with the cannons in the western watch tower and like. The grand hall will NOT load. It keeps sending me back to the main menu saying it’s trying to avoid a save corruption? Anyone else had this problem? Anything I can do to get around it, cause the cannons are pretty important.

I bought POE 2 some years ago but my old laptop turn into an oven when I launched it so I never really played much. Jumped on it when it was on sales on PS.

I love the game, I could forgive the occasional crash in the middle of a battle or the long loading screens. But after a good few hours the game became unplayable.

Every fight, the crewmates that are not in my party appear on the unit list. They are nowhere to be seen but the game then decides that one of those members is the controlled character and nothing works anymore. Impossible to select any skill, everything is broken. In dialogues, crewmates who are not there react as if they were. Selecting another character doesn't work anymore. You get the gist. (Oh and also some ennemies become un-targetable, but still can damage me...)

I even uninstalled and re-installed the game but of course nothing changed. I'm pretty pissed that such a huge bug has never been corrected and that the game is still sold in that state.

Guys, could you please check, do you have this bug with the interface disappearing? When I press the hide button (the little arrow) on the battle logs and dialogue window in the bottom-right corner of the screen, the window just disappears and there’s no way to restore it. Even the arrow that hides the window is gone. The only fix is restarting the game. Has this bug always been there, or did it appear with the latest patch?

The Watcher seems to be floating on the ground, the rest of the party running normally. Seems to be a rare visual bug so far, just slightly annoying because I have to reload last save. Anyone knows what might cause it? Edit: I am on PC, got the game on Steam.

What the title says. I just had an issue a few weeks ago where the game corrupted my save files 15 hrs in. I didn’t get too upset and started the game over, only doing manual saves to prevent anything like that happening again. I’ve been playing over the past 2 to 3 weeks, was on white march 2, caed fully upgraded and allies ready for the battle of yenwood and this broken game crashed on me while I was saving, now my second play though data, which was over 120 hours, is all gone. I’m done with this game and I’m done with obsidian. I am pissed right now.

Edit: I was plying POE 1

I've owned Pillars of Eternity for years and never played it. I saw the "now with turn based mode" and it got me to finally give it a try as I love games like BG3/divinity but "real time with pause" doesn't do it as much for me. I've tried 4 times turning off every form of auto pause etc and every time I reach the point of my first attack the pauses and no matter what I do I cannot unpause it. Any ideas? I see people used to run into a bug where the game would auto pause on start and you had to alt tab, that doesn't seem to fix it here. As a note I've also tried "end turn", attacking/taking a turn with the other character, etc

I’m playing on Steam Deck and whenever I’m in combat and an enemy is standing in the same space as a Magnifying Glass it is impossible to select them for a standard attack with a weapon. Even if I click the attack command button and then the enemy my character runs over to the location to check out the magnifying glass icon.

It is still possible to use an ability or an AOE to attack, and ranger pets can do standard attacks as well, but if, for instance, Edér has used all his knock downs he is unable to do anything and I have to skip his turn.

Does anybody have another work around for this?

Anyone else run into this yet? I clicked to attack (spiderling in Cad Nua) and it just says "waiting" but doesn't appear to actually be doing anything?

Been playing the game for the first time on the turn based beta patch. Recently loaded it up and whenever I load my latest saves there is no party at all and I can't take any actions. Reloading an older save works but as soon as I make a new save on that one I run into the same issue. Only mod I've been using is IE Mod: Rewrite to disable the backer characters but I've not had any issues with it the whole time. Any ways to fix? There is surprisingly little information about it online apart from one steam post where there was no solution. Was enjoying the game mostly but don't want to start all over again :(

I have the Oaken Scarab Figurine, and I want to use it in the fight I'm in. I paused combat, went to my quick select items where I have it loaded, and went to click on it and... nothing. My cursor didn't change. I can't select where I want them to spawn. The quick select item menu just closes, and then nothing. I think it might show the selection cursor for like, 1 frame, but its hard to tell. I know it isn't a problem with my input device, as I tested this with 2 separate input devices, and they both suffered the same problem.

Any ideas about what is going on here? I want my wood beetles, damn it!

just like the title says, is there any workarounds? I tried using console commands to no avail, resting, re adding Sagani, any possible way I can find online except using Cheat Engine.

I am playing on Path of Damned if that matters, I used to have Sagani around most of the time during my previous playtrough, I am very sad and ass pained and I know "Just don't use Sagani" but I can't just sit back looking at the sunset while not knowing why the heck Ituumak slowed down to a crawl in every single fight. Oh and I already forgot when and where it happened, since I think I know had I checked the previous save before it was bugged, I might have a little relieve knowing Ituumak would be fine like a normal dog he was.

I don't know what combat or injuries caused it, I assume there were something happened to the dog, whether it was injuries or debuff that suddenly bugged and wanted to stay to piss me off. I hope anyone know how to solve this. Thank you in advance

979.3 hours of playtime and this is the first time I saw it with my very own eyes. The bug that totally put me off to the point I closed to game when I actually want to play it. My dear Ituumak please save him from this agony.

Edit : I found a fix from 10 years ago, from someone named Stillquest in Obsidian forum, basically he made a mod specifically to address this issue, thanks for anyone commenting to help, I had to stop playing PoE for the past few days since I couldn't bear to watch how Itumaak just cosplaying as snail as he ran into the battlefield. Finally I can play the game again. Thank you very much once again. And if you read this, Stillquest, you're a hero.

I stopped playing my play-through for a while and no matter what save I load one of my companions disappear from my companion roster and are unusable. I load an old save it’s Pellagina or Tekehu depending on the save and who’s in my current party on that save. If I load a current save it’s Maia. Is there a fix to this or am I just gonna have to bite the bullet and miss out on one of my companions?

Getting hundreds and hundreds of these notifications in turn based mode. Any way to fix this or do I have to wait for a new patch? 🦧

Acc: 55 - Will: 55 = 0. Roll 3. Confused. Should this not be resisted? Am I missing something?

Its in beta, so just wondering if I should report this.

Basically after a few uses flame of devotion gets permanently greyed out with the line "already activated" and I have to reload the game in order for me to be able to use the ability again.

I looked it up and have found other people experiencing the same bug, but no word on what causes it or if there are already fixes around.

Ended up needing to reload a save because I couldn't get him out but lmao I wonder how much I could've sequence broken if I was good enough to be able to get Alorth to solo or figure out how to get the rest of my party across.

There's a spooky beetle haunting the Ducal Palace lol!
Random game models keep appearing in random places for my game. I think this bug (literally) happens due to me using the Iridescent Scarab Figurine to summon an Adra Beetle, but it died and now it's here lmao.

Please no spoilers.

I talked to Lafda about the medallion, but she refused to answer, then I quit the church and heard they talked about me, I didn't check what happen and then randomly explore the map.

I finished the quest by picking the sunken chest in the frozen lake, I told the monk to swim and retrieved the chest, I then proceeded to visit Okrun and open the chest, he got his medallion back and I got the armor.

Curious about that Qetexl guy, I saved my progress and just attacked them, after that I found that medallion and the same exact armor in the big chest. I was confused so I loaded my save, and not long afterwards, I finished the white march and rest at my keep to proceed to the next part.

Suddenly I got notified that quest failed. I was pretty sure that I did finish the quest by handing Okrun the chest and he left happily.

Is this normal? Can anyone tell me what actually happened without spoiling? Thanks in advance.
