Armor and clothing bug

As far as I can see there has not been any answer from WH regarding the clothing and armor bug. The particular bugs I am talking about is that there are no visual dirt, blood or damage to neither clothes nor armor after the 1.6 update. I am playing on a PS4-Pro but as far as I know this problem seems to be on all platforms. There is also a lot of clipping in regards to Henry’s clothes and armour, these two bugs really destroys the immersion that makes this game so unique.

So my question is, when will the playerbase see an update or even a hot fix to once again introduce blood, dirt and other damages on Henry’s armour and clothing? Can we even expect it to be fixed at all or has WH decided to just not care about this issue?

Thanks for confirming that this issue is not only on the PS4. I way preferred the 1.5 update and my armour getting dirty very fast instead of the now, non existent dirt, blood or damage on my clothing and armour. The clipping is of course also an issue. I really hope WH fix this soon since it sucks away all joy from the game, what excuse do I have in 1.6 to go to the prostitutes if they cannot even clean my clothes :wink:

well, actually you have to go more often, just to be sure, since you can’t see how dirty you really are :thinking::face_with_hand_over_mouth:

But yes, I find that pretty irritating. especially when I want to talk someone and he asks me, if my pretty clothes got stolen, but when I look at myself it’s all pretty and nice :crazy_face:

Indeed! Agree on all points. I have been told that it looks like I have been in battle, just because I cannot see how dirty and disgusting my clothes and armour really are. A very immersion breaking bug indeed. Has there been any official answer or discussion from WH regarding this at all? I would hate if WH just ignored this and accepted this as a done deal.

I couldn’t find anything regards this issue.
Even if you look at the patch notes for 1.6 there’s nothing that indicates they tried to fix it, because people complained about getting dirty too fast.
You would think that it would only break if you want to fix it, or not?

Agree, it is really weird how this could break so horrendously without WH even trying to communicate that they are trying to fix it. If I could, I would roll back my version to 1.5

I have similar problem too (PC), everybody, including Henry is “dirtproof”. It’s so annoying when you charisma is low in reason of dirtiness and damaging of the outfit but visually, you’re still exposed like million groshen.
Today I reinstalled game, trying play without mods and modded settings by user.cfg, with deleted cache - nothing help, so something was broken by 1.6 patch.

No Kirksty but I would like it if they would respond to tickets about this. Created one 4 days ago and did not get any respons yet…

I’m looking for a job. So if warhorse contact me it’d gladly make a statement

Go and apply for the job then :stuck_out_tongue:

They need to comment on bugs that take away the “realism” part that was and is one of the major selling points of the game. Saying nothing over such a bug when it is so easy to just acknowledge that they are aware and working on it or not, is not too much to ask from a developer.

I know there are quite many fanboys playing this game but being blind and deaf to bugs that actually change the aesthetics and to a degree the mechanisms of the game is quite bad.

A true fan of the game that loves it, would like the game to be the best it possibly can and not defend every bug and mistake WH makes. And really, is it that difficult from WG to just say that we know about the bug and we will fix it by 1.7 ?

1.5 worked way better and Henry’s clothes could still become dirty and bloody, now they look shiny and perfect all the time. This is as earlier stated a huge problem for those of us that want to be immersed in the narrative and enjoy the game mechanics.

So no, WH do not need to comment on every bug but since this bug is quite obvious to anyone that has played the game for a while it should be a priority to tell us if and when WH will do something about it.

I would to see some kind of a public bug tracker like Bohemia Interactive has for their products like ArmA, DayZ, ToH, ToM etc.

honestly i dont get the bugs you do. you may just be unlucky. but it’d be impossible to get a bug tracker going you know why? because lots of ppl use mods which break the game further, that isn’t wh’s responsibility. they didn’t approve mods.

Same here, the armor is not being degraded at all.

Technically it is possible to force players to attach game log(s) kcd.log and there is information about used mods like this:

[Mod] Loading mods from mods/mod_order.txt
[Mod] 10 mods loaded from mods/mod_order.txt
[Mod] 'WoodenMenus' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'NoArrowTrail' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'NoMoSloMo' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'NoSloMoSound' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'PileOfLogs3.0' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'RestoreHalberdsSkill' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'TorchWide' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'rpg_param' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'QuestItemsWeightFix' has no version restrictions in manifest
[Mod] 'First-person_Herb_Picking' has no version restrictions in manifest

So developer can easily reject reports with modded game.

Trying everything to fix it, thinking - maybe bug in reason of mods? So, I resinstalled games on different drive (SSD) and try to play on clean KCD without mods, with defaul settings and still have a bug. I have no idea why. Graphic driver? Broken Steam? God’s punishment?

Funnily though, the developers are really proud of the “realism” (at least as they see it) of the game, and armor’s dirt and degradation affect a lot of other mechanics in game. So yeah, that’s pretty critical bug that needs to be addressed and responded to ASAP.
