Patch broke things

[amud]

The new patch seems to have broken a lot of things. For one it is almost impossible to raise reputation with cities to get the next quest to become revered. This is miserable to play now.

Oh well advancement of hero also broken - game no fun now - can't gain reputation with cities; can't advance hero; yuck. Get rid of this patch.

I don't have the problem. Make sure to check files integrity in Steam.

[easytarget]

Not seeing this on my end either.

This is not something we have changed at all. So it definitely doesn't come directly from the patch

[amud]

For example my shrinkua hero before the patch would quickly advance in her quest; now she is not advancing at all once she gets the mace - she made 7 levels and still hasn't come forward to advance the quest.

In the dwarven village not the far right but one next to it - before the patch if i reported the offer for mithril i would get 20 reputation; now nothing. If i killed thigns around the town to the left I would get some reputation - now nothing. Nothing i do gain reputation with it. The same for the village that offers a warrior building on the plains - i can't gain any reputation from it after i do the first quest to kill undead. Maybe i need to start a new game since i was playing a game when the patch hit as it broke something but nothing i do in the current game advance reputation with these towns.

There is another bug - just started a new game and now i can't adjust my allfire ratio (mana/research/mastery) even though i have already had a wisp meld with the allfire - look at how many hours i have in this game - i know what i am talking about - that patch has broken everything. crap. now the game is just crap.

Same problem with reputation gain with cities here. There is no reputation gain anymore. None for killing critters nor for doing quests.

Sorry to hear you are encountering bugs. Can you please do the following:

1. Close game, right click game in Steam > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files. This will ensure that nothing broke in the files during install. After that, try again.

2. If that doesn't fix it and you are playing on a pre-patch savegame, try starting a new one and see if the issue still occurs.

3. If neither fixes it, please report the bugs as instructed in the following thread:

That wasn't the problem - starting a new game fixed most of the issues i noticed. I will say that unlike the other patches this one i don't like a lot of the changes - like the more explicit warning that auto resolve will result in troop death; the task list on the right and so forth. I realize these changes help make it more beginner friendly but they clutter the screen and are at best annoying. As someone who went into this game without a clue - none of those things would have made the game more enjoyable.

I have a lot of hours in this game - too many given the static map - but i think after this patch i'll take a year break and see if it improves or continue this downward spiral.

You can disable displaying task list in options.
I have 250 hours and I found the list useful, it saves some clicks and keeps me focused.

I haven't encountered any issues thus far, saved for an UI problem that prevented me from executing commands over the map which solved itself by simply firing up the game again, maybe that will fix it ?

The issue with the reputation is found and being fixed.

Is this also a campaign started pre-patch? Can you confirm there is no adventure with "Elynn's Quest" on the worldmap and her hero page says "Elynn will approach you..."?

Does the menu button not show up or is the UI unresponsive?
It is btw unlocked after the first apprentice joins, not the first node is melded with. Did that happen yet?

Can you specify what UI problem you encountered?

I just loaded my existing save game with the new patch and encountered two issues:
1. It says "Tasks" on top right in white text but other than that it's blank
2. Patch says "You can now center the camera on a city when clicking on the faction in the faction overview.". But when I go to that list and click on the city names, nothing happens (doesn't center on that city)

After destroying tutorial tower with nagas and finishing text encounter, game did not allow me to move army. I solved it by saving (it did not prevent save) and reloading the save.

As others said, reputation w/ cities not increasing is pretty game-breaking so glad it's being fixed - hotfix soon please!!
