Matthias Runs Away

Bugs
#1

I found Matthias lying on the ground in the barn BEFORE I started the “Pestilence” mission, and since I couldn’t get ANY kind of reaction out of him, I went ahead and KNOCKED him out (ended up stealing his silent shoes). NOW that he’s “supposed” to be able to talk to me during Pestilence, he’s laying there and as soon as I get close, he RUNS AWAY… I’ve chased him and knocked him out, but he re-spawns in the barn and the only thing that will change the loop is actually killing him, which I don’t want to do, since he’s my friend!
Is there a way for me (Console command I can put in) to “RESET” his AI?

Thanks.

It is the same for me. Did you find a solution ?

No, I’ve not gotten a solution. Actually, this is the first response I’ve gotten.
So the DEVS haven’t even gotten back to me at all.

I’ve finished the pestilence quest quite some time now, and Matthias is still laying down wounded and wont respond to me… Couldnt get the horses to respawn either, Johann is perma stuck inside his house not moving at all, only offeringregular trading services up until now. Suddenly he gives me the option to buy a horse but when i proceed to select which horse to buy, none are there and Henry goes like : Hmmm ill think it over - and ends the dialog.
Matthias keeps running away from me aswell, as i knocked him unconscious when i tried to ‘‘de-bug’’ him and get him to mvoe out of his spot. Now he always stays laying down at the barn and when i get near, he starts running aswell… really hope this gets fixed… want to buy a horse from there…

I actually started over and went to Mohjed and bought a horse from them before they got raided.

#6

I had the same issue, so I let the guards arrest me and I did my 10 days and it was fixed.

#7

They must not have done any testing before release.

$60 beta

#8

Fixing what? Matthias stuck?

#9

Yes it seemed fix that loop

#10

You mean speech loop? The Matthias in my game doesn’t even have talk option

#11

Yeah in mine he got up and ran off and respawned aka fell out of the sky and laid back down and it would just loop. He had no talk option so I heard in a video that if you let yourself be arrested it would reset your reputation. I figured maybe the no talk issue was due to low rep so I went to jail and came back and Matthias would talk to me.

Ah, but does he sell horse after that?

#13

Ohh I don’t know about that. Haven’t checked

#14

That’s because if he doesn’t sell horse anymore I won’t bother recovering him from very old save.

#15

I have to stick up for the DEVS here. This game head a $8 million budget and Skyrim had an $85 million dollar budget and I remember Skyrim being full of bugs when it first came out too!
So, all in all, this is an EXCELLENT game. If Mattias NEVER talks to me again, well that’s not a game breaker! There are 4 places in the game that you can buy horses (if you include pre-raid Mojed) I purchase a level 4 horse from Smil’s wife (I couldn’t find him, I think because he’s going to die) for a measly 1.9K Groschen (NOT AT ALL hard to get to work a little Pre-main quest thievery) and he carries 295 lbs! He’s not the fastest horse, but he’s brave!
I digress… My point is, the developers put out A GREAT game for their VERY FIRST GAME! Of course it’s going to have bugs, what “open world” game doesn’t?
Ok, rant over!

(Oh, and it’s HIGHLY recommend going hunting with a horse! Completely changes the story! Loved it!

I wrote a post to thanks Warhorse for developing an original good game. The bugs here though, is hard to compare to that in Skyrim. Especially when you would have your main quest stuck, or lost a several days of gameplay because saves being corrupted.

Here, we just want to workaround to avoid something in the game being bugged. I personally think that not having Matthias is a lost to the game because he is the one selling a horse named after a past away pet raised by one of the developers. In memories of him, he long lived in the game as the most balanced horse.

Had 36 mil usd budget according to Forbes

@SgtCharlie

My problem is that they actually released the game in an embarrassing and unfinished state. Clearly it is unfinished. It is absolutly still in beta. Dont defend these developers, how embarrassing for them. Do you think they dont understand what they did by letting this build out into the wild at full price? (Perhaps they ran out of money and couldnt finish, maybe their publisher was unwilling to allow the short delay that this game clearly needed. Either way it changes nothing)

With 3-6 more months of rigorous testing and polishing KCD would have been universally hailed as a masterpiece, a work of art that truly pushed the envelope of what the industry can and should do. It would have made other much larger and experienced studios look like chumps. Instead they sold a beta test for $60. This isnt normal, and we as consumers shouldnt pretend it is because defending this can only do damage to this industry, defending this does nothing to help Warhorse be the best it can be.

This isnt just a fan club, it is a product forum. As fans and customers who care enough about this unique studio to make profiles and interact here and who want Warhorse to be very successful and make many more games, the best thing we can do is honestly point out their flaws and failures without flowery sugarcoating so these devs can quickly understand exactly what their weaknesses are. We should do this for them so that they know exactly where to focus their efforts to improve their craft and make a superior product.

so , this is the solution ?

#20

The plague wiped out their entire stock of horses… so it would be quite accurate to assume they won’t be selling anything any time soon. But who knows. In my game post the pestilence quest I can’t recall being able to buy horses, and my Matthias is still laying down in the stables :thinking:
