Really that buggy?

[JabroniCorleone]

I think my girlfriend talked so much about this game that I want to play it by myself now ^^
But I was wondering if this game is really that buggy? I dont like it, when I cant complete bugged quests in games... So can you tell me if that is the case?

well the game sure has bugs, but the thing is not everyone gets stopped by them. seems some people get their quests blocked by them but not everyone so it is hard to tell what caused said bug. i have been lucky to have no game breaking games and i have been playing since week 1 of early access, others on the other hand get stopped all the time till a fix is made, I can't say if you will or won't get a bug because of this either. It could be any small random thing that causes it.

And if such a bug happens is it able to reset the quest or do I have to wait for a patch - if a patch will adress this problem

You can't reset quests, unfortunately. Put me in the category of "rarely any major bugs" - yes, there's a few annoying ones right now, but that's because the expansion just dropped and the first bug patch hasn't hit yet.

But none of the bugs I've gotten have stopped my progress. I haven't had a crash since winter 22 (when the "if a Villager levels up by Daily Conversation, it freezes" bug existed). I've had to restart the game maybe 3-4 times in Storybook Vale due to the "flowers stuck under the bridge" bug and the "camera becomes unstuck from the character" bug. The flower one is easy to avoid, don't try to harvest the flowers stuck under the bridge. :)


One big one to keep quests from possibly locking up, is to not pick up/hit/etc any quest-related items in the world until the quest tells you to. Which can be hard to do, since the rest of the game conditions you to pick up that sparkly stuff as soon as you see it. :D
Quite a few of the quest problem posts over the years have been "I picked up the <whatever> too soon, but the quest says I still have to pick it up"

Buy the pack with both DLC for best value, but don't play the new one yet, all reports indicate a barely tested mess. Try not to sequence break anything as well, the devs are bad at coding/designing protection and redundancy.

I'm almost done with the new content (still need to finish Hades's lv10). Harvest item spawning is messed up in various ways (flowers under the bridge; many things spawning in the Trial side-zones instead of in the main map areas, so the Ancient Vacuum can't get them; some mossy logs spawning in the ocean), and Snippet helpers running off when they want to give you extras, are the only 'major' things I've had issues with so far. Okay, and the camera disconnect bug that I've seen twice.

So, yeah, minorly annoying, but quite playable.

We'll see how the Dec 4 bug fix goes. (plus what new bugs we get with the main game content drop. :D)

Yes, yes it is. Right now I have a quest that is stuck (not related to expansion), I can't progress and worse it isn't even listed as a bug on Trello where they track their bugs.

They focus on new content and not on polishing what they have, which is untenable.

Trello is no longer updated as frequently as it was in the beginning.

An update will be released tomorrow that fixes a LOT of bugs.

I see more serious errors like the game not opening or when you equip a skin from home the game doesn't even work.

I play on PC (Epic Games Store) and so far have been lucky not to have had bugs that stopped me from progressing a quest.
If you are worried about that and are playing on PC you can try preparing a manual rollback save https://steamcommunity.com/app/1401590/discussions/0/4628106985313747662/
