Also problems/bugs tend to differ from platform to platform and even from person to person in the same platform so it’s hard to tell what is going to happen to you…but still, the game is dope and leaves you wanting more

I play predominantly RPG’s and Strategy games. KCD is now my favorite game on the ps4. Combat is challenging, there is a lot of depth there, but once you level up your strength and skills it can be overpowering. There is a huge amount of maintenance, managing, and optimizing. The story and side quests is were the game really shines though. Best I’ve ever played.
IF game is working is great, its not realistic and deep as is used in its advertising, but its still great.
Now with patches you have probably good chance not get major bugs during main quest and side quests, when i played with 1.2.0 and 1.2.5 it was slalom between bugs - i was usually able to complete quest but walk through some affected by some very strange thing, broken perks, scripts etc.
When you are unlucky as me, your game start to constantly crashing after lots of hours (i my case 150h - i played hardcore no fast travel ), you cant make new non broken save… and waiting 3 weeks for fix and waiting on some update from support or anybody, developers leaders are silent about major bugs too (imho corporate strategy…)… not a great experience.
Someone people which probably have not problems, or are fanboys or dunno why… will tell you that people with problems have broken computers, mods (remove mods is first thing to test, if is something wrong, but there is nothing like official bad mod - blacklist, developers even feature lots of mods on Steam page or Twitter) and other non sense…
If feel from it old stupid eastern Europe “Quality”, if is somehow working is good enough…

Wait to buy this PoS, really hard to recommend a game that I had a terrible experience with. I pre-ordered it thinking that they would put out a semi polished game since they were selling it at a premium price point. Yeah, that didn’t happen. Constant crashes, multiple corrupted saves, broken quests. Reported all the bugs I experienced and no response from the STELLAR customer service at WH.
Been looking for a Better Business Bureau counterpart for the Czech Republic so I can log an official complaint where it matters. If anyone knows of one, please link it here.
It seams the people who are having trouble are on PC. I came across a thread you might want to look at.
LowSpecGames KCD TIPs- Could your grandmothers computers run it?
I hope that helps.
No, i did some analysis of achievements numbers from console is even worse… Its PC style game, so majority of players are from PC community and its also more pc like thing to disscuss game on Forum.
Even on PC still only 8.3% of buyers completed the game… I would expect more bigger number with game would be ok.

I’m one Xbox One and have one completed play through and one with like probably 60-70 hours or so: just got to Questions and Answers and am stopping the main line. I have had very few issues and the only quest I tried and couldn’t complete, that I know are bugs, are Robber Baron and stealing the items for the Vagabond who ends up in the pillory…definitely had bugs but never lost large amounts of time, very few crashes, only bad saves were from Robber Baron, just not really any huge issues for me
Thank you. I know that it is the current state of the gaming industry to release unfinished games. That’s a business practice that needs to stop. No other businesses/industries are allowed to sell a broken product at a premium price to its consumers.

I’m on PC… probably 150 hours in and I can’t think of one single major bug I’ve had other than shooting up in the air from the alchemy table which has been fixed. My only complaint is the vanilla game becomes way too easy when you put in a lot of time focusing on side quests and activities. I was only half way through the main story and was one shot killing multiple enemies at a time without getting a scratch on me. If you are on PC their is a fix for this… The ultimate realism mod. I started over with this and holy crap is it difficult. Still awesome though probably even more so because it’s more immersive.
Short answer is the game is great… you hear more negativity because us having the positive experiences are you know putting 150 hours into the game and not here bitching about how hard the lockpicking is.

The negativity comes mostly from ignorance. We live for instant gratification. Yes, the game should have been practically bug free at launch…it wasn’t. So what?
So many people complained at launch about three things…stupid lockpicking, the “choking someone out” mini game and the save system. The original way was fine. Just people are impatient to learn how the game works.
What people don’t understand is, once you change a file…there are so many other files that could possibly be corrupted or compromised.
They changed 3 major aspects to the game (as mentioned above) and now people are complaining that Warhorse is the problem. They aren’t, but the complainers are.
The devs could have been working on so many things- like DLC- and seem to have accidentally messed things up with PC update 1.3 to appease everybody.
It’s a marvelous game. And I think that Warhorse should just keep on it’s path. Not cater to silly kids wanting easier lockpicking and exit saves. They could have been doing so much more with their time.

I play on the Xbox one, and I personally have not had any real bugs, like at all, since 1.3 came out. I’m sure they’re there, a few graphical glitches, but the actual bugs that bothered me in 1.2.5 are gone now. It’s easier to start leveling up lockpicking on the console now that the difficulty for very easy and easy was made more manageable, and once you level it up a bit, hard and very hard also become manageable. It just takes a bit of practice.
What I loved about this game, is that it’s a hardcore RPG that is not meant for casuals. If you want an immersive experience, this game is for you. I found that the new save and exit feature doesn’t really give me a method to spam the save system as this game seems determined to prevent. I can’t just save and exit before a difficult spot and then reload if I don’t like the outcome. I still have to live with the consequences of my actions, which I’m perfectly okay with.
Just put in the time and build Henry the way you want to build him. Everyone can do the exact same quests in different ways, and that’s what makes this game so fun.

it’s the price of going mainstream, you attract the call of duty 13 year old potty mouths who bought the game using mommy’s credit card without doing any research
I would go try Robber Baron again if you haven’t I played through that quest with out an issue on update 1.2.5 and for 1.3 they say they have done even more bug fixing for Hans Capon’s quests. Also, for 1.3 the big update is that the save system is a lot more “robust.” They say that means that saves shouldn’t be corrupting anymore. That being said, I didn’t die at all on Robber Baron so I didn’t have to rely on a save. So I can’t definitively say that the save issue was fixed.
I didn’t die last time I tried it, just any save moving forward would not load; haven’t tried since 1.2/1.2.5
Funny, I was thinking about writing a post shouting the praises of this game. There’s a lot to love. The art and history directors got so much very right, with only minor points of contention. Check out this review from a popular medieval enthusiast on the castles:
Most of the complaints I have more or less revolve around things that they couldn’t afford to implement in the first release. Crossbows, flails, and other types of weapons. Halberd skills. Lances (and mounted combat in general is lacking). Crafting, which they wanted to implement to a wider degree, is largely limited to Alchemy and sharpening your sword. Some quests are more or less clunky because they didn’t have the time and money to factor in more choices, and the effects of those choices.
Bugs are there, yes, but it’s been much improved since release. Out of several playthroughs I haven’t had one game breaking issue. I can’t say that about my Fallout 4 playthroughs, which all became corrupted saves after a period because of my rampant settlement building - 800+ hours and never finished the game.
All I can say is that this game is top of the line as it stands, and only stands to get better with future updates, DLC, expansions, and sequels.

I would give it a try now that the game has been updated. Things worked fine for me. None of the saves after that corrupted. You get the best cuirass in the game as a reward from Sir Hanush for dealing with the Robber Baron.
No you don’t. It’s one of the best. You can buy the best Curaiss from Master Orta in Sassau. It’s slightly better.
You’re right.URO is a damn fine mod. Makes the game feel more like I think it was meant to be. Even without the mods, it’s one game I’ve personally spent more consecutive hours on than any other.

This Game is like a bad realtionship.
You love it, you give everything, you want to ignore all the small issues it has, but then it treats you like dirt by putting a hard lock on you main quest, deleting your saves or doing other really bad things to you. And that after you just ignored loads of bugs and issues you ran over, because you just WANT to love it. It’s just not fair.
This game could be the greatest Game i ever played, a true rival to even the Witcher III or other top triple-A RPGs. But with its bugs, it destryos it all.
A Main Quest wich has so many possibilities to break your game just isnt tolerable. Im Stuck at the main Quest (I even reinstalled the whole game, didnt fix it) and really, i still want to play the game, im ready to restart and try my luck against the Bug Roulette. I’d even wait for patch 1.4 to fix the main Questline. or 1.5. or even longer, if needs be.
And it sounds sick, I know. But the positive thing about this game i have to say is: Even if treats you badly, even if it ruins 120 hours of playtime (wich it did for me) you will still love it and still hope that the issues get fixed soon.
Because the Game has extraordinary great Game design, really pleasant graphics, great ideas behind it and its just a lot of fun it deserves to be supported (wich is why I won’t call for a refund) and i really, really hope the Devs don’t let us down on this. Because if they do, i may go full stalker ex-boyfriend!
Edit:
Oh and another reason why this Game is like a bad relationship: After it left me out in the cold for nothing, i’m sitting here in the Forums and stalk the Bug section, sending desperate bug reports to the devs and watch streams and videos of the game beeing sad that i cant progress my first playthrough… im might need a psychologist…
