Bug Collection Thread

[PiepMatz]

I've like to collect all bugs that I've encountered during my gameplay.
You can post yours too and I'll add them.
Bugs containing spoilers are hidden... duh?!

Playtime Bug

------------------------------
Even though my steam account says ~100 minutes playtime (you can check it), my ingame playtime is set to ~3850hrs. Don't know what caused it, or how it affects certain mechanics.

Source: Unknown
Effect: None?
Screenshot: imgur.com/a/yoc65

Fix: Unknown

Slider Bug

------------------------------
Sometimes my character is stuck in a sequence (looking like he's charging his sword) and is just sliding around. So the attack animation isn't triggered anymore (but the sound is).

Source: I think charging and walking down stairs causes this (confirm?)
Effect: Can't attack anymore. This also applies to enemies and companions alike

Fix: Leaving the map and re-entering fixes this

Character Sprite(visual) Bug / Yellow skin bug

(from ☣Kekskuchen☣ post)
------------------------------
i just started this and i encountered a weird bug with the skin being all yellow
in cutscenes its normal and NPCs in town are also normal colored...

Source: Unknown
Effect: Visual disturbence
Screenshot(s): https://i.imgur.com/17t4VIG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mWibJf9.jpg (thanks @ M.S.T.O.P.)

Fix (provided by Lotharin) : saving and reloading fixed it.

Characters disappearing

(posted by amorasilverspark)
------------------------------
Characters seem to disappear during a cutscene. In the video you can see it after gaining the first magical power for the sprite.

Source: Unknown ?
Effect: Sprite is out of the game but selectable (attacks?)

Video (spoilers ahead!): https://youtu.be/xI6UxnDNA0A?t=1h52m40s (happens after 1:52:40 in the next 30 seconds)

Fix: None?

Two Swords Bug

(posted by Zunnoab #931)
------------------------------
I had Primm with the sword, went to Gaia's Naval so she left, equipped the sword on Randi, and afte rescuing her from the werewolves

Source: Character dis- & reappearing
Effect: ?

Screenshot: https://i.gyazo.com/f4046d6e9eee3370414e173ed83e2add.jpg

Fix: ?

Controls Bug

(several occasions)
------------------------------
(Some) Controllers are not correctly recognized and/or buggy during certain situations, e.g.: Controllers work in game but not in menu, etc. Controller plugged in sometimes only works for Player two, etc.

Source: Mostly unknown, sometimes binding keys to core-functions (up/down arrow keys to "okay")
Effect: Gameplay

Possible Fix (provided by IntrC04):
1) Start Big Picture mode
2) Go to settings (casual top middle on the screen)
3) Controller settings
4) Choose your prefered controller, in my case "casual gamepad"
5) plug your controller
6) go through the settings for each button
7) Maybe save your settings for this controller (I did that, acutally i dont know if you had to do this)
8) Run SoM from Big Picture mode with the settings used before.

Yeah i just saw another thread with the playtime bug. Did it cause anything on your gameplay?

[Lotharin]

I actually ran into the Slider bug within 2 minutes of starting my game; didn't post about it, as I fixed it literally in 12 seconds. Haha.

Didn't run into any problems besides that

Me too, directly after falling down the waterfall and running around a little bit

Yup, just after the first bend with the Rabites after getting the sword. =D

I have a bug where cutscene animations glitch out (specifically, the character model disapears during an animation) and thusly they dont fully execute. This happened first in the cutscene at potos village, second when the goblins got getted you. since the cutscenes dont complete, I am greeted with total blindness in the form of a black screen. I can still move and hear sounds, but i cant see the world, or my character. Game breaking bug, breaks the game. I hope These bugs get resolved, and soon, because My 5 year old son loves this game, and the fully voiced NPCs and cutscenes means i don't need to read anything to him, which i like.

Are you playing in Fullscreen? Do you have a second Monitor? Is anything running in the background? I haven't encountered this bug yet; but what I listed are some things that commonly cause similar problems in other games.

I found a video which i think has this bug. I've added "Character disappearing" with the video to it. Can you confirm that it looks like this?

The video i posted is recorded on a ps4 AFAIK. So it might not just be related to PC but a game-bug as I think he was right about the whole 'cutscene' thing

[Rotendo Nemesis]

Can you add what platform to your format? Thanks

That's an interesting bug. (Two swords.)

Edit: Changing weapons did fix it, no side effects so far.

[Lotharin]

Okay, after watching that clip, if you listen the water is WAY louder when they swap to the Sprite, I think the character may have fallen through the world, and is under the map at that point. Not sure how to fix it though. Haha.

I have a keyboard, an editing peripheral, and a gaming controller. It automatically assigns the keyboard as player 1, which forced me to use WASD until adding a character to the party. While all devices are plugged in, the controller will operate player 2, but the keyboard operates both characters simultaneously. Even if I were doing local multiplayer this would be a control issue, and I have to assume that the game would automatically map my peripheral to the 3rd player when acquired. You can force your way around the problem by unplugging all other devices, but this needs a fix asap.

Have also seen the menu ring generate over empty field space, so far always to the direct right of the intended character, leaving map and re-entering seems to fix.

And I know it's not a bug, but that Chobin Hood fire rate tho ...

It happened first when I was in fullscreen, I restarted the game, and it happened again. I restarted the game and played on a windowed lower resoluion, which worked and I was able to get through the Mantis Ant, but the glitch happened even on my windowed screen when the goblins got getted me.

That multiple player bug has been around elsewhere as well; still haven't fixed it; do you per chance use a button emulator program?

I've had the Characters disappearing bug on multiple occasions.
- When you fight the first boss
- When you meet Luka
- When the dwarven smith shows you the shortcut (here it was just Randi bugging out, I was in control of Primm and could continue to play. I even saved, but when I load that save state I only get a black screen)

Playing on Steam, Windows 7 x64, fullscreen, dual monitor.
