Title says it all.
I d/l’d the update, had Bianka’s ring. Played again, no more ring.
Not a big deal, just odd. Like the trail of dirty dishes I found in Uzhitz.
Nothing else missing.
Same here, no Bianka’s ring. It’s a pitty, I would love to have it back.
weird. I have some old saves, I’ should see if it’s tehre
Bianca’s Ring won’t be in any save where you had already obtained it if it was saved on a version prior to v1.3.1 because they somehow changed the item (probably item ID) and it’s not the same one as the one from v1.2.5. If you go back to that quest stage, you can grab it off her body and keep it indefinitely (or until they patch again from a different development build and screw up the item IDs again), but for most of us, we’re not willing to go back tens or hundreds of hours over an item most of us were only holding on to as a sort of memento.
The entire v1.31 patch feels like it came from an entirely different development build than the one we were used to playing (v1.2.5), hence why they don’t even feel the same to a lot of us, and why some things that were broken and were fixed were suddenly broken again, or why item IDs aren’t matching up, like with Bianca’s Ring and a few other items.
Poor Bianca, we did not get the chance to bury her and now her ring has gone missing. I lost her ring during 1.2 update
I dunno. I have several playlines all started before 1.3.1. All were created by making new folders in Windows Explorer and copying the save file from when I woke up at Rattay the 1st time. I had Bianca’s ring then. And now, in 1.3.1, I still have the ring in all playlines.
I don’t know why it’s vanished for some folks but it’s definitely not a universal problem with 1.3.1.
Were they saves from around the time of the game’s release, i.e. prior to v1.2.5?
If they were then that would somewhat validate a fuzzy memory I have that it was first Bianka’s Ring prior to v1.2.5, then it was Bianca’s Ring after that patch, and now with v1.3.1 we may be back to the original Bianka’s Ring from the game’s release.
Basically, if you had the ring prior to v1.2.5, you lost it if you kept playing, but if you were to go back and load that save now, you’d still have it. Whereas if you started over with a new game after v1.2.5 (like I did) and grabbed it, you lost it with v1.3.1.
My suggestion in the thread I created right after the patch was to put both rings (or all versions if there’s more than two) back into the game so everyone gets to keep it, regardless of which version they picked it up in. Same goes for all the items that got removed when they merged the code from different development builds, or however they’re handling patching.
It’s a lot of effort for something so insignificant to the game, and I honestly don’t know why I’ve obsessed over this one minor issue so much, but it’s really killed my urge to play until a few more patches…
Nope. The root save is from 1.2.5. I have only played 1.2.5 and 1.3.1.
I’ve got a PC and have a combination of a 1.0 physical copy with Steam auto-updates. My physical copy was delayed by a postal problem so during installation, Steam updated it to 1.2.5. Then, while Steam also updated it to 1.3.0, I was too busy with work that day to play. by the time I had the chance to play again, 1.3.1 was already out.
Then I’m at a complete loss… Obviously I’m just a layman and have no insight as to how the development team is patching the game, I was only attempting to make educated guesses as to the potential issue here in hopes they could fix this as well as other items disappearing.
