This is no official thread. Just a collection of some information I came across and consider worth sharing. Despite there is hardly any active user in this forums, it still should have at least some use for exchange of information to help each other.

Like with my previous thread I encourage the one put officially in charge by Owlcat who oversees this forums, to make the information found here their own.

================================================

If you come across solutions or workarounds nowhere else being mentioned, feel free to share. This collection is not perfect, by all means. I try to keep this updated as long as I am playing the game myself.

If you ask for official support check owlcatgames.com/support in regards of the game itself.
In regards of GOG related stuff, like offline installers, please contact the GOG support. Those two are two different companies, a fact it had been often overlooked it seems.

You must not expect official support via forums. That is not how these forums works. Reporting a bug here will do little to nothing. Use the ingame reporting tool ALT+B.

What you do here is asking advice from other players and checking if some issues are known and probably even finding some work around until it gets patched eventually. Not all issues which can be seen ingame are rooted in the game.

================================================

When you have an issue and start checking, make sure to make a general check to get faster to a possible solution:

■ Is the version you are playing the latest?

■ Are you using mods? If yes, do the issues still persist when you deactivate/uninstall the mods?

■ Are the game files integrity still okay? After multiple patches there is no guarantee that some leftover files might lead to unknown issue which would usually be cured with a verification of game files.

■ Are you playing the game with combat in real time mode or turn based mode? If you are playing it in turn based mode, do the issues still persist when switching to real time mode?

■ Make sure to provide information which OS you are using. There are differences even between Windows versions which can lead to certain issues.

I personally recommend playing the game on SSD, since most issues I have seen are loading related issues. That is why it is recommended so often to save and reload in doubt, when you are unsure if something is missing ingame (like an area exit).

Also: keep your drivers up to date. You might be surprised how a corrupted file with video drivers, usb drivers or whatsoever could cause the game to crash. Before reinstalling the game after all files have been verified, you might want to make a clean reinstall your gfx card drivers first, as it turned out to be an uncommon yet not rare issue with crashes.

================================================

1. If your game takes unusual long to startup or gets stuck during startup loading

a. Backup your portraits, savegames, screenshots
For Windows you can find them here %systemdrive%\users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous\
b. Uninstall the game (optional*)
c. Delete the folder %systemdrive%\users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous\
d. Delete the folder %systemdrive%\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp\Owlcat Games
e. Reinstall (optional*)
f. Check if it works properly again now.
g. Add your backed up files back into the profile folder

Advance tip: Apps like RevoUninstaller can help you with cleanups like this without the extra step of deleting the temp folder manually.

* Note: in some cases it suffices just cleaning up the mentioned folders without the need to actually uninstall and reinstall. But a proper reinstall is more thorough, preventing further unknown issues which might be related.

================================================

2. Crash at startup because of Unity

Deletion of the registry entry is a currently known workaround. For Windows you can find the related registry entries in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Owlcat Games\ while using your registry editor (Windows+R => "regedit")

================================================

3. Crash after changing display selection when having multiple displays

In addition to the official recommendation, running a compatibility check of the game's executable and troubleshooting the DPI settings can cure the issue as well, even more reliable and approachable.

4. General FPS issues

There is a known issue about the game behaving weird in regards with their FPS on some Windows PCs. The issue seems on the coding side and is seemingly related to how the game is processed by some CPUs. By increasing the game's priority and eventually manually adjusting core usage the issue can be resolved.

================================================

5. FPS drop when selecting specific characters

There is a known issue about problems with the user interface can causing FPS drops when selecting specific characters in your party. There have been several work arounds which seem to work, based on the different origins of the issue.

In some cases the visuals did not add up with the game stats of that character. A loading issue related to stat enhancing equipment and eventually leveling up of a character.

Stripping said character naked, saving in that state, and then restarting the game can solve the issue. It is similar to the loading issues which can be observed when certain permanent stati seem not to dissapear despite a proper long rest.

The issue can be often observed with characters who have many abilities, those on auto-on, and eventually buffs. Currently kineticist players are seemingly mostly affected by it.

Please check if you have auto-fill for your hotbar on or off. Having it turned off might be a culprit to have the issue triggered.

In some cases forcing your profile folder to make a refresh can also help (I can only guess because of leftover files colliding with the latest version of the game).

For Windows it would be %systemdrive%\users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous\

It is safe to keep portraits, savegames and screenshots - and then deleting the rest. Keep in mind to adjust general options again after doing so.

================================================

6. FPS drop when changing equipped items which add skills

This bug can be observed when the option to auto-fill the hotbar is deactivated. Related to #2 the issue resolves when turning the option on again.

================================================

7. Mouse is behaving weird during startup, as if moving to the edge of screen

Issue can be observed when other peripherials are connected, like USB controllers. Might be related to the officially known issue with dlls. Unplugging the unneeded stuff usually solves the problem.

================================================

8. Keyboard behaves unresponsive

A known issue from ALT+TABbing. Probably caused by a weird execution of the game's borderless window mode. Easy to fix.

Add "-popupwindow" parameter to the game's shortcut and set the game on windowed mode to make it a true borderless mode.

================================================

9. Waiting forever in Act 4 for the area feature to unlock

Act 4 - Alushinyrra Tutorial: https://ibb.co/tY2Dm3t

There have been unusually plenty of reports where people displayed a lack of understanding how that certain special purple city feature is supposed to work. If it applies to you as well: send a bug report ingame using ALT+B.

Solution: the first time you enter the purple city through the portal you are supposed to see a tutorial which explains to you that the city buildings change in shape and positions depending on the rotation of your camera. If you get stuck somewhere or you do not see a way to move on, having a look from a different angle will help.

In some cases when changing of the angle of the camera does not seem to trigger anything, it can be a loading issue. Save your game. And restart and reload.
Best results you might have if you switch to map mode, rotate the camera there, observe the movings of the map and move while being in map mode. That way turned out for me to be the most reliable to navigate between moving parts.

Currently it is recommended by the community to increase the auto-save feature from three to eventually five or more to be on the safe side there. In some very rare occassion the loading issue was so severe that you got thrown out of the map.

================================================

10. Missing essential quest items because of lost corpses

While the issue with a certain lich spell has been addressed, it is still worth to mention that the ragdoll behaviour of enemies can behave... strangely. Please pay attention to missing corpses. In some occassions and certain areas it can stop your game's progression entirely, when said corpse which has e.g. a key to open a door e.g. blow to pieces and start falling below the ground -> out of the reachable area -> key not lootable anymore.

Usually it is solved by the pop up about lootables when leaving an area. But on certain maps/areas that feature is not properly implemented.

Issue can probably prevented when turning the gore option off. Still best to report issues on relevant map so the actual issue (map design) can be fixed properly.

================================================

11. It is unclear how to revive dead companions in safe haven

Use a raise dead/ressurection scroll when having dead companion selected. Beware: currently there seems an issue which removes petrified and killed dominated companions from the party when changing area. Best to save / revive dead companions on spot to prevent safe haven related issues.

================================================

12. About certain events and companion quests

Some events and questlines do only progress when you do camping aka resting outside safe haven and not on worldmap interface. You need to actually be at an area where you can camp outside to do the rest which triggers those questlines.

An example of such a questline can be found with demon mythic path and romance/companion quests. Under certain circumstances it can become a progress blocker.

Please keep in mind: even if a workaround works for you - please submit a bug report properly. Whether ingame by pressing ALT+B or using the form you can find here: https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=https://owlcatgames.com/support

Only a proper bug report allows the developers to address bugs right away, providing them with eventually essential information to identify the issue, and justify the budgeting of the responsible department.

If developers do not know about bugs and no one tell them about them, they might as well not exist.

• Tips: Force the game to run on another monitor by supplying -monitor N startup parameter via Steam or through command line arguments, where N is an index of a monitor (1, 2 etc.). User can try several indices and see if the game will start without a crash on one of his devices. E.g. run the game first with -monitor 1 and if it crashes, with -monitor 2 parameter.
Force one monitor before launching the game.

================================================

Latest issues of high interest to the community, which are seemingly missing sufficient official statements whether it is resolved or not yet.

People seem to be longing for an "all-clear" signal from developers' side.


================================================

Focus/Follow-Camera is not working
Status: known issue
Version: 1.1.0i

================================================

Bloodline selection in CharacterGenScreen does not work
Status: fixed with 1.1.1i
Version: 1.1.0i

Currently an issue in regards of the CharacterGenScreen, which also affects LevelUpScreen, is preventing players from creating and properly leveling up characters with classes which have a Bloodline selection for their level.

Fixed with 1.1.1i 09.11.2021

================================================

Game crashes for MacBook users

Status: fixed with 1.1.1i
Version: 1.0.2e and maybe earlier

Presumably M1 model and more affected. Game starts to crash early with the 2nd Act. Most known when entering the Commander's tent in the crusader camp.

A recent developer statement about the issue

"We are actually working on it. But apparently it can't be reproduced on any Mac, and we need a specific configuration, so we've been in touch with some of Mac players from the community who helped us to find the problem. But we still need some more time to prepare the fix. We apologize for making you guys wait for so long."

Source: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1184370/eventcomments/3092275748064989357?snr=2_9_100003_&ctp=2

Everyone who is affected and has not sent a bug report yet: your contribution will be helpful for all Mac users.

Here is an example of a setup which is affected:

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
Processor 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB

Fixed with 1.1.1i 09.11.2021

================================================

Is it safe to respec?
Status: known issue - patchwork
Version: since version 1.0.0g/p and probably earlier

Originally posted by MaLal - a developer active on Steam forums:
">Was the respec issue ever fully resolved?
Most of the problems were fixed, should work with basic mythic paths normally, but still can catch a bug with late-game ones, Dragon, Swarm, and the Secret one."

Due to a lack of very specific information it is mostly guesswork on community's side what exactly is breaking due to the issue and why it is happening. The developers have added some sort of limiter for respec using ingame retrainers.

It is rumored that some story flags have been deleted in earlier versions, due to the fact that for a retraining the character is being put into a blank state.

With the missing "all-clear" signal, and the clear statement that some mythic paths still can have the issue in a game breaking form, it is recommended to act with caution. Here we can only have faith in the developers and "the pioneers" - those players who dare to meet the bug on purpose and submitting bug reports to the developers until the issue is bested.

Sosial and Daeran Romance
Status: supposedly resolved
Version: 1.0.5g and below

According to https://steamcommunity.com/app/1184370/discussions/0/5086242673975595351/ a critical bug which is supposed to be cured by 1.0.6 - we are currently with 1.0.7f.

Community is missing an "all-clear".

================================================

Frequent crashes after patch 1.0.8d
Status: fixed with 1.0.8e
Version: 1.0.8d

A lot of crashes are being reported since the latest patch. They all seem related to Gargoyles/enemies suffering critical hits. There are also hints that casting fireball in crusade battles or certain weapons with effects might lead to similar crashes. The developers are on it.

A recent developer statement about the issue

"To everyone who experiences frequent crashes and freezes while fighting the gargoyles: we are aware of this issue, and we are working on a fix. Usually it only happens on crits or when the gargoyles die. We are very sorry you are experiencing this, and we'll try to fix it ASAP."

Source: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1184370/eventcomments/3092275748064989357/?ctp=7

Currently no workaround known.

================================================

Ranger / Paladin do not get spells
Status: fixed with 1.0.8d
Version: 1.0.7e (developement build inbetween) / 1.0.7d

The issue seems to be highly related to the "phantom spellbooks". Or rather "spells dummies". Those have been around since release and probably longer.

It seems during developement the developers had several dummy spellbooks, testing, adjusting things and so on.

Now, a few weeks after, there are more and more reports of players noticing those dummy spells appearing and being available for selection. Problem is, that they most likely can break your character save file, if they are not treated correctly.

So it seems the developers wanted to tackle it, but got interrupted midway. For a short while there was even a development build accidently released, the 1.0.7d which called out for the 1.0.7e since there were very huge issues with that build.

Somewhere along the way the phantom spellbooks became entirely visible. And they tried to hide it again. Apparently that got messed up with working spellbooks. And now they need to fix it anew from ground.

Long story short: while fixing a mistake during patch distrubition it seems they accidently hide more than just the unneeded phantom spellbook. It is known by the developers and most likely considered critical. A hotfix can be expected soon.

Fixed with 1.0.8d 07.10.2021

Since the patch might not magically replace misconfigured characters, you might want to retrain those characters affected. That should usually "trigger" the fix.

================================================

Player character portrait becomes a white blank after late game mythic choice
Status: fixed with 1.0.8d
Version: 1.0.2g and probably earlier

At a certain level of the mythic path you get the offer to pick a new player character portrait, fitting your choice of mythic path. For unknown reasons the result of a selection can result in a "null choice", turning your ingame portrait into just a blank white.

Current workaround: Retrain your character or do a save game edit either via common editor software or save game editor mentioned in Useful tools (scroll down until you get to the section with the link)

Fixed with 1.0.8d 07.10.2021

================================================

Cannot progress Walking on Corpses
Status: fixed with 1.0.3d
Version: 1.0.3c

The cutscene by the end of Act 4 will not trigger. There is no workaround available.

Fixed with 1.0.3d 14.09.2021

What about all the other long lasting bugs which interest us as well?

Status: issues are known, and certainly not ignored
Version: current game version

"Yes, some of the bugs persist for longer than just 1 version, but you are right, this is a question of priority and time. Sometimes we have a fix already, but for tech reasons need to release them not in the next update, but in the one after. For example, some of them are fixed already planned for 1.1 version release.
This is a complicated process, yes, but we were able to construct a system that helps us not to get overwhelmed."

Added information about the white blank portrait issue and some more.

Information added about crashes related to 1.0.8d and MacBook users.

Additional information added to the third post, due to character limitation of the first post (and probably second post as well).

Taking the absolute lack of interest, the almost dead forums activity during good times, and the issues with the forums software in regards of writing, I decided to stop tending this thread.

Thank you unknowngizzard for your kind words.
While I have given up updating this thread (thankfully nothing big happens since then) I try to check now and then on the forums while I am still playing the game, to help people with questions I can be helpful with.

Thankfully, it seems that the GOG version is more stable than the Steam version for now.
I really appreciate this thread too its very useful. I encountered an interesting issue in Drezen seige last night. I could not zoom in or out it made the fighting a bit more interesting than I wanted since it was super zoomed in at first. I tried save/reload which has fixed a lot of things for me. Instead it started extremely zoomed out and could not zoom in LOL. I am going to try it again this morning and see if a rebooting the game will fix it. Thought I should mention it though in case in it hasn't been reported or anyone else is experiencing it.

It may have been caused by me skipping the cutscene on the bridge where they bust into the city at the start of the seige.

Rebooting it did fix it.

Encouraged by the latest replies I gave the thread more or less another update. I made use of the many extra posts which I used to keep people updated. And now it is pretty much up to date with all important developer statements about known issues.

The latest patch might have addressed your camera issues, if I see it right.
