Solution to game breaking Omeluum bug causing all characters to be stuck in an endless dialog screen.

[Nochehalcon]

Has this happened to anyone else? I didn't notice the first time and lost 50 minutes of gameplay, but when I first spoke to Omeluum in the Myconid area, and then later switched characters when a later combat had me change to a different player than my Avatar, that character and all my PCs were then just stuck with the dialog screen options while midcombat. I didn't know what caused it at first, and managed to quicksave and isolate the issue to the moment I spoke with Omeluum the first time. Something about that cutscene pulls all party members into the dialog but doesn't release the other party members when it's finished. I did find that if you start the Omeluum dialog and then switch to each party member you can break them out of the dialog before the avatar is finished with it, and then the game can resume as normal.

Oh thank you so much, I had the same exact issue

i had somewhat similar of a bug at the arcane tower. i split my party and for whatever reason when i ended my turn to let the arcane tower blast me i had a black screen. but i could still push buttons. so i could hit the space bar to end my turn but all it did was take it back to the environments turn which resulted in another black screen. so it was just an infinite cycle i couldnt get out of so i had to switch characters with F2 and just load an older save.

I also had the same issue and found that, after the dialogue, if I swapped character they only had the dialogue options too. I tried it a second time and it was the same. I found that if I swapped to another character after the dialogue had finished, then saved and quit the game, then restarted it and reloaded it, it was fine.

This fixed it for me too! Thanks for mentioning this. My theory is that since it's a continuous dialogue that shifts from one tradable character to another, the game doesn't know what to do.

Seems loading a save will also fix it. I loaded a save I made after speaking to Omellum and encountering the bug and it fixed it.

Funny, this didn't work for me at all, but the "Save on another character, quit and reload" did

[Varrusian]

you are a life saver!

This worked a treat thanks!

I'd quicksaved just before the checks after taking the potion, just flicked through my other 3 members and moved them a few steps each, all working okay afterwards

I even passed the Int check for the Nautilus description for the second time in a row with my dumb fighter, hoping that karmic die don't work the other way round!

I was in game and excited when I posted that^ My 3 party members work ok, but my main character's hud dissapears if I switch to another character and back :(

*then I looked a few posts up and tried loading another character, quitting, reloading this save. All good now

[Mr. Bo Jangles]

Thank you! This was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me up.

[Vellichor]

actual gigachad, thank you so much

[Herr_Alvaro]

It worked... Thank you! Save, quit, get back and reload.

Unfortunately, this only released my other party members that were having this issue. Now my avatar is the only one with the ghost conversation. I can start other conversations with my avatar just fine, but once finished, the entire UI is gone and the only options are those which show up in a conversation...

Reloading the save works fine, but I cannot speak with Blurg and Omeluum without this breaking every time...

EDIT: While my avatar was locked in a ghost conversation (able to still walk around and start conversations but no UI) I switched to another character, saved, reloaded and that fixed it. Credit goes to the individual below for this.
