Game crashes after every mission , missions dont update, heroes dont level up and retain quirks

[chudor]

played after dlng the new patch (Build Update #7954), It was working fine before that
after the patch,
- all the missions ive played, (completed or abandoned) the game crashes but the week updates after reloading the game
-still stuck with the same missions even though a new week has passed
-the heroes retain the items,stress,buffs(from camping and or shrine/curio events before finishing said mission) and cash from said missions, but dont retain the exp or the quirks gained

its kind of gamebreaking as of now since i cant progress and im afraid to play my older saves incase it happens on my old saves,

I really love the game guys and I hopethis gets fixed ASAP

Game freezes after level up screen

Everytime I complete a dungeon, I get to the level up screen, reveal the new quirks for each character then the game freezes at the village loading screen.
When I get back in the game and I reload the saved file I still have the money gained from the last dungeon but the heroes levels or quirks aren't saved.

Bump this just had the same problem all the people i put into the buildings also stayed in there i didn't get the experience for beating the dungeon and everyone retained there fear from the excursion, if this is a new difficulty level i am not a fan ;)

Same problem after latest update.

Same here, I'm three days in with the same problem and my guys in town are stuck in the rehab clinic and church. They never finish the next day, so I can't use them anymore.

Same problem. Lets me pass the first dungeon(fresh game) with the first 4 char but soon as i take 2nd group in it crashes and seems to forget i finished the dungeon but keeps the stress lvls etc from running it.

[Stygian Blight]

Same problem. Only the XP and quirks stay the same, everything else is updated.

Hi everyone. I've tried reproducing this a number of times and haven't been able to. It does sound like a crash that would happen if you didn't have all the assets downloaded properly. Sometimes it happens that steam misses a couple of files so if you all wouldn't mind verifying the game cache it would at least rule that out. To do that right click on Darkest Dungeon in the steam library, go down to Properties->Local Files Tab->Verify Integrity of Game Cache. If this doesn't help the situation, be sure to report back and do whatever I can to get it fixed asap.

I'm having the same issue and I've tried verifying the game cache. It didn't help.

On top of that, the stagecoach won't spawn any new heroes.

[chudor]

same tried to verify game cache,finished successfully, loaded the game, same issue, tried different set of heroes on other missions still same issue

Having same problem. Finishing a quest crashes the game after the quirk screen. Reload the game and it takes me back to my town with the quest completed, none of the quirks on my characters being saved, but the quest reward being saved. In addition the week doesn't "Pass", so characters do not remove stress (but are still in their respective "hobbies) and the stage coach and trinket wagons have no heroes/items in them respectively.

On the other hand I tested and "Escaping" missions does not have this crash problem for me. The quirks are saved, stress is enduced, the week progresses and stage coach Trinket wagon update. But this doesn't fix the problem for finishing quests (I attempted and finished a quest after the escape to test to see if it "reset" the problem).

Hope that helps! Also great game, I'm having a lot of fun with it. Lost many a crew member, but That' part of the fun!

Also have tried verifying cache, no luck. And one of my characters hit 100 stress and gained the "courageous" buff, and that seems to stay with him through out every dungeon I've put him in, when he hits 100 stress nothing happens since he has rolled Courageous.

Oh it's obviously something more serious happening. If you would kindly zip up your "Darkest" directory found in "My Documents" and send it to support (at) redhookgames (dot) com, hopefully it's something in there that will help me reproduce the bug.... maybe just the last 3 people, "ConcernedGenius", "chudor" and "The Tsundertaker". If you could put "Mission End Crash" in the subject that would be great.

[ConcernedGenius]

Sure Pierre I just sent it. If you need anymore information, or I sent the wrong information, let me know! Also I appreciate how quickly you are responding. I know these aren't always the easiest problems to replicate let alone fix right away
