Patch 1.3, the patch from hell

So, we know this game is already a legend when it comes to bugs. Believe no game ever had so many bugs on release as this one.

But then came the patch 1.3. That so important patch that would fix more than 300 bugs.
Ha! If it did, there still would be tons of bugs. But the sad part is, it made the game even worse!

So, who believes the game will be bug free one day?

You’ve been remarkably lucky with your games then, lol.
There’s a lot of minor bugs, no doubt, but the sheer fact that I hadn’t had a single CTD or game-breaker until yesterday makes this many times better than various games at launch in my experience.

I’m not sure I’m aware of a game of this complexity that ever reached a completely bug-free status. Certainly often-compared games like Oblivion or Skyrim or the Witcher III are not to this day. So, I’ll say I think it’s pretty unlikely.

So far 1.3 has been better than 1.2.5. Some quests bugs still exist (rescued Esther and talked to Florian but game still not giving credit). And graphics though improved still need more work.

At a loss to explain why users have should disparate experiences

I think this will depend on the viewpoint of the question asker…

If you consider Skyrim bugfree,… then yes… this game should get there…

The problem is that in any game that attempts to recreate reality,… the slightest jarring experience to that ā€˜virtual’ reality, … can be quite immersion breaking.

What one person considers a bug,another may not.

As for quest lines and playthrough… sure… they will get fixed.
With regards to games like Skyrim, it is User/community patches… that have made that game PLAYABLE for many.

It just depends on what we call ā€˜good enough’.
My missus and I laugh everytime we find a ā€˜glitch’ or ā€˜bug’ (it is so infrequent we cannot understand what all the fuss is about)- sure we are arguably one of the ā€˜few’ experiencing this game in all its’ glory (or one of the few representing that fact).

Having seen Ultima Xs release,… and having had countless RPGs need many many quest patches… Istand by that Warhorse have released a brilliant beautiful game. (perhaps a month or two earlier than their unforgiving audience would have preferred)…
This game will be ā€˜all that’ even if the studio packed up tonight.
Too many commited fans paired with an easy to mod engine

Much ado about nothing. I’m about an hour into a new plat through I started when patch 1.3 was released. I’ve played the game through twice before. In the first play through the game crashed half a dozen times. The second, two or three. With the level of complex game mechanics that this game has, its relay par for the coarse. When the first Mass Effect game came out I remember it crashing on me at least half a dozen times. Unfortunately there solution was to scrap most of the games complex mechanics and turn it into another shooter. I pray that doesn’t happen hear. Thanks for all your hard work. :slight_smile:

With mods and a dedicated dev team, sure… I think you’re forgetting most Skyrim fixes are from the unofficial patch lol.

I just want stutter fixing QQ

For me, 1.3 is far worse then 1.2.5. I’m on PS4. I bought the game about two weeks ago, and before this patch only had slow texture load ins, and a few broken quests. Other then that, I had a fantastic experience, only 1 game crash (and I was getting my ass kicked anyways) and was absolutely loving the game, wondering what this ā€œterribly buggy experienceā€ everyone was talking about was. I’m about to go try it some more now that I’m home, but if it’s the same as the 30 minutes or so I played this morning, I don’t think I can continue playing :confused: Also, I will add that I was honestly surprised they were releasing the game this early. I’ve been following it since about 2016 when the Beta came out, and wasn’t expecting its release until late 2018/early 2019. I still love this game, and consider it one of the best I’ve every played, but this last patch has left a seriously bad taste in my mouth. Hoping it can be addressed soon…

I had put The game down for a week but then heard that the patch dropped yesterday on Xbox one. I turned on my game and went to complete the find pie quest only for my game to crash upon getting my reward. Irritating but hopeful they can iron all these kinks out.

Since this patch I’ve had no issues on Xb1

I’m playing on the Xbox one and so far I haven’t had too many bugs or issues…granted I’ve only been able to play about ten hours of the game in the last two weeks.

I fell through the map once to my amusement, and had one quest that bugged out, but I just reloaded a previous save.

In the grand scheme of things I’ve been pretty fortunate, I haven’t had a full crash yet.

I’ve played a game that had game breaks so bad that progression was impossible, and the dev team for that game couldn’t find the reason why so it has yet to be addressed.

All in all I think they are doing a good job of addressing issues in the game and look forward to my continued playthrough.

Got my refund sitting safely in the bank now ! Final straw for me was when the miller chased a robber halfway into teaching Henry to pick pockets. After that nothing. Same lines over again and no pickpocket option! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: Keep on testing it for me guys and I’ll be back in the autumn !

i have also started a new game with the patch 1.3 and i have directly a bug in the main quest. if i go hunting rabbits with capone he dont come back to the camp. so i’m waiting and waiting but nothing happend. before the patch 1.3 he was at 13 o’clock in the camp. now I’m waiting 2 days and nothing happend. very nice…:rage: ( playing on x box x )

I played it a quite a bit more last night, and discovered it was only bad in Rattay and Sasau. In fact, in the countryside and smaller villages the slow texture loadings are completely GONE and there are no pop ins! Was really excited for that last night, noticed a few graphical issues with cutscenes, and long loading times before cutscenes, but other than that it wasn’t too bad! Just in Rattay and other large cities where there is alot for the game to load in. I can work with this, glad the game isn’t completely ruined! Going to play some more tonight, really looking forward to it.

Just on cutscenes, or with fast travel/game saving too? It’s not really a big deal but since downloading 1.3, saving the game for me causes a 45 second or so screen freeze, on fast travel it’s the same but no screen freeze, had a guard yelling at me to surrender after fast traveling but had a long black screen and couldn’t causing him to draw his sword by the time the game fully loaded in. Haven’t had any problem with cutscenes though, my loading time on 1.2.5 was very minimal, so it’s just post 1.3 for me. PS4

Fallout 3…a while after release. I’m entering a door to the lower level of a building and the game auto save after you load up. Upon loading my right stuck no longer worked and I could only strafe. That’s a pretty terrible glitch:bug, especially after a game has been out for some time…to just all of a sudden no longer be able to turn.

Personally, I haven’t had any problems I can’t take in exchange for how cool this game is

Strange to see some people seem to have no or very few cq acceptable problems, while others have a game that seems to be stuck in beta fase.
For myself I can say that every time I play, new shit (reed bugs) are there to greet me. It is amazing how big the change is that something will go wrong and fuck up my game. I have to keep saving, since I now I need to go back to a save game once an hour.

Just shite to bring out a game like this and charge full price. Should of called it early access, but then they would have a problem with their producers of course. Wonder, did the producers ask to much of the team, or did the team Warhorse just take to much time to reach the goals?

@Antilochos I haven’t done the monastery main quest (a lot of bugs seem to lurk there) and so far have had no game breaking bugs. Had corrupt save files (wouldn’t load) but had others that worked (lost <10h). Graphics were getting distracting (poor-not good); better now but still not good enough. How much have i played? Enough to have around 800 enemy kills and over 500k in wealth

What platform are you on? Maybe they need to raise the minimum spec for PC? Ps4 isn’t perfect but I really don’t have a lot to complain about.

Maybe their next project will be less bugged and unfinished but who knows.
