Weakness Spell Bug

[Boresight]

Any news on fixing the Weakness spell bug when cast by an AI character?

When the next update comes out, about 2-3 weeks they're telling us.

Sounds good.

I need a hotfix on this one issue and really can't wait for a major update. It ruins every game and I can't continue. Such a bummer having to start a whole new game after playing one for hours and not being able to finish and get my experience. 2-3 weeks! Really!

[Xerxes Aragon]

Yeah, I'd actually be happier with smaller patches coming more frequently rather than waiting 3-4 months for one huge patch. Another game I recently purchased on Steam - Mini Metro - is releasing updates on a 1-2 week schedule, so some devs are managing it.

At the moment I have a saved game and can't continue it because the Wizard AI is attempting to cast the Weakness spell :(

Start a new game. When the next update is released your save game will be lost anyway.

I was able to use the weakness spell today and it didn't freeze the game - must be fixed.

Casting Weakness, by the PC, OUT of combat, does work. But casting it in combat, ALWAYS fails. Unfortunately, NPCs always attempt to cast it in combat, so fail every time, and every time they do, that game is ruined.

A simple HOT FIX to remove the Weakness spell from the deck, would save a lot of heartache.

not to sound like a smart ass cause ya it sounds like an issue if a spell cast by AI breaks game but what if the player just played with other humans.... would negate this bug completely right? obviously should be fixed regardless but that seems like the quick fix

Unfortunately, not everyone has the same opportunities to play with live players. Where I live, I am stuck with snail slow DSL. It is fine for doing email, and normal internet use. But, if I attempt to play a game online, especially with other players, it is far too slow. So... kind of take offense when it is suggest that a game bug is fine, if you don't play single-player.

I have the board game, but the reason I bought the PC version is that it's pretty difficult to find players who have the time to sit and play a game that lasts hours and hours. At least with the PC version you can play at your own leisure and save the game whenever you want. Besides, with some of the players I've encountered online; who can't say one sentence without using the F word, I'd rather play against the AI or at least with people I know any time.

two games in a row now ruined by that spell, at least this one was early, the previous one happened as I was on my way to the command crown.. such a frustrating bug, would be nice if they cared enough to fix it.

@Jack Daniels - Try adding friends from the Talisman Cup, they are not the swearing type!

Weakness spell is still not fixed! It works like 1 out of 5 times, so really hope the next update fixes it! yesterday i could use it on a character, today I could not, very erratic!

Most of the times the game freezes and I have to go out of the game, when you reenter the AI often has taken 1 or 2 turns for you and that AI is certifiable, it makes such grappy descissions!

Today I had a game crash when I draw the weakness spell. Not sure if it was because of the spell. Got a message to contact Nomad support and report it.
Although the game crashed it still was a running task and I had to force close it in task manager!

This could be solved very easily by a simple Hot Fix that removes the card from the spell deck. The game would function fine without the spell. For me, the game crashes every time an NPC casts Weakness; going on a streak of 6 games in a row that have not been able to finish, because of this spell.
