No random encounters

Tried it. Still nothing. Random events still seem to function normally in my pre-1.31 old save though.

Well that’s good then, I thought you weren’t able to get them working at all hence suggesting that save from Nexus :slight_smile:

Patch 1.4 should fix it. Lets hope for that :grinning:

Hahaha so thats how they sync up ai and world events… you can almost see the dungeon master behind some castle sized cardboard wall, secretly rolling dice to figure out what the random encounters might be.
I guess our digital DM didnt notice dropping a die…

Well according to Daniel’s last tweet a fix is mentioned

"Patch info time! 1.3 for consoles is being certified. Early next week (if everything goes according to plan) we will release 1.3.4 for PC which will fix random events and add some cool new features. Approx week later we will release 1.4 with lots of bugfixes and cool new stuff.

So if I am reading this correctly the fix for random events will be in 1.3.4 coming out any day now (early this week)?

Yes.

stupid 10 character rule…

You’re lucky! I’ve had none at all for my entire play through at the moment!

Hello, I found some interesting fact in game… I found two of random NPC in forrest on interesting place. If Im right NPC will change their location after 7 days in game or if you make some action with him. This can be reason why you cant found the NPC they can be in forrest and you just dont know where.

PS: my game version is 1.3.3 on PC

Hi all,

Here’s working fix!

It works for me with the file from Update2 + wh_pl_RandomEventBaseChanceRunOffset = 1. Getting about 1-3 encounters when travel (fast and normal)

Response just posted confirms 1.3.4 fixed fast travel random encounters

So is it out already?

Not sure… community manager posted in a thread specific to patch 1.3.4; saying they need to update the patchnotes thread.

Its due…
(Wish I was willing to connect my steam install to the net… - changes over the last few months means I cannot let steam stay always online or be on a connected computer (forced auto updates))

Presenly I take a laptop with KCD installed on it to a local cafe and ‘check for updates’, and then I copy KCD over to my gaming PC.

(Also a large part of why I tell console users to backup their game files off disc and then restore- as it forces game files to sit, more neatly, together… )

First to post patch size gets a +1 from me…

I think they removed all random encounters with the latest patch. I restarted the game since I had this game breaking Q&A bug. I didnt have a single random encounter in the entire game.

Technical explaination for nerds:
There seems to be a 4 byte variable that contains encounter blocker, it should usually be set to 0. Any quest that needs to temporarily disable encounters (like when you tell Morcock where Timmy is) uses a function that decreases this number by 1, because it’s already at 0, overflow happens and it’s set to hex value of 0xFFFFFFFF, this is by design, when the quest needs to unblock random encounters, it gets increased by one. This makes sure that even if two quests disable encounters at the same time, they will only be enabled once both quests have removed their blocker. What the actual problem is, this value was only decreased before version 1.3.0+, but was not increased. This didn’t cause the problem before, because, apparently, this variable was not used to block encounters previously, but now it is.
I found this value by filterting for changed values between bugged\non-bugged saves and before\after telling Morcock where Timmy is. Then I just scanned for pointers to this value, to make sure my address persists through different game runs, so you don’t have to repeat the painfull process all over again.

It’s close to EOB in CZ (I’m just leaving my office :stuck_out_tongue: ), so I lose hope that the patch will be released this week.

Hey it’s actually out! Just 37.8MB on Steam…

Awesome; thanks…

(Theres the +1)

Encounters on road within twenty minutes of play… yay!

Awesome! :slight_smile:

So far I have encounters again :slight_smile:

I haven’t had any encounters yet. I only played for about 20 minutes and fast traveled once, but still. Really hope i was just unlucky the first time around.
