Slack Skinned Head

[MisterRed]

So uh, is this thing supposed to say something important? When I insert a brain and try talking to it, my character gets stuck. Dialogue doesn't start, have to reload a save

[MisterRed]

This is super annoying, just did another puzzle in the necrotic laboratory, and the reward was an interaction with the mural from the trailers, and another brain I can't talk with because this head is broken. Its making me sad.

Encountered the same bug, very annoying indeed. I reported it and will have to watch the dialogue on youtube.

Sadly Ill probably have to do the same. I was hoping one of them might tell me how to kill Balthazar permanently. Everyone i've been able to mention them to has stated that they can come back from death and I wanna make them die forever

Ran into this too. Reloaded my save thinking it'd help...nope, character stuck

Restart the game in DX11 fixed it for me

I found a solution. Instead of clicking on the head itself, click on the pedestal and then "insert" a brain here instead of placing it manually on top of it.

That triggered the correct dialogue event for me.

This worked for me, switching to Dx11 allowed me to chat with all 3 brains without issue

FYI I was already using DX11 when I ran into this bug. A restart is what fixed it

I always used DX11 and restarting didn't fix it, but what seemed to fix it for me was to restart with Vulkan, then restart again in DX11. Not sure if that actually did anything, but it is the sequence of events that led to me actually being able to talk to the head, so hopefully it might help someone else.

Just want to add this for anyone else that might still have the problem despite restarting using dx11: Make sure you also turn off AMD FSR 1.0 in the setting, and then restart the game. seems to fix it for me

Interesting, DX 11 didn't work but switching to Vulkan worked for me.

I took the brains from the Nautloid at the beginning all the way there and one of them sings a really depressing song.

First time I talked it worked but when I did a brain it did not speak and I basically got stuck in place I play on dx11 however switching to vulkan and back to 11 fixed this issue. why? no idea
