Dear Devs: Please Fix Sickness

[Sacrilege™]

Dear 11-Bit Devs --
I am a player that has almost 300 hours in-game. This is easily one of my favorite games of all time. I appreciate the love and support you have shown to this masterpiece, to include all extra content you have added over the years.

With that said, we are unable to play this game, in a reasonable fashion, until the sickness bug is addressed. Do we have an ETA on that patch?

With that said, I truly hope to see a sequel to this game. I for one would throw money at the screen, instantly.

Thank you.

What exactly is the "sickness bug" you are referring to? I just came back to the game, and noticed a lot of ppl getting sick during the winter, but I thought it is a balance change.

Hi I've just noticed your post, I messaged the support team yesterday and posted on the bug forum, I've had a reply from one of the devs who've said they're aware of the issue and are working on fix.

Basically for me its crops up the moment I build a heater, every day after the first day of building it I get a survivor, who stays at home on guard or in bed, get sick; even if I give them medication they still end up getting worse. Its a battle till end game at that point. I'm curious about those that haven't experienced the bug, Id like to know whether they have mods or not, maybe they've ticked the boxes before they launch the story, I dunno, wish I had their luck lol

I've never had any mods and I'm playing with all dlc and updates, I also don't tick any of the boxes when I launch the game (such as final cut and anniversary).

Technically I did not build a heater in the game I just won right now, but pretty much the whole game most of the npcs were sick. In the end I managed to cure them(used 20+ basic medicine/pills), but many times they were well fed and medicined and slept whole day + night without a change in their condition.

I remember that in vanilla there was pretty much always a condition increase / sickness decrease when the npcs were well fed+sleeping, but I guess that was changed unless it is a bug.

That game was just a simple boris game without any mods or activated options. Boris got sick on day 10 ish and was sick till 25 ish. Marin was also sick for 10+ days while Emilia was just sick at the end. Thankfully when everything was seemed to escalate.. I got Marko who saved the day, being simply wounded and just sick for 3-4 days :)

That is with constant running heater during winter, and even after that I kept it at 2 stacks always.

To be fair, they deserve it.

I'm taking a break from the game right now. I was doing well so far but if this bug is real, I don't have nearly enough medicine stocked up.

Which is irritating because I'm going through pills like there's no tomorrow despite even temperature and a max heater. I'm heating the place above and beyond what it should be and people are still ill.

I doubt this is on purpose.

It's a bug for sure, I've posted on the bugs forum about it, I had a response from a dev saying they are aware and are working on a fix. https://steamcommunity.com/app/282070/discussions/1/1743386132102864437/

I've shelved it myself at the moment, I've been on Crusader Kings 2 instead :p

+1 they get sick like every 3-5 days, i had 3 sick and one healthy at one time, during winter with 2 upgraded furnaces, working on power 6-4 all the time, temperature was 16 - 24 celzius... this is insane and unplayable atm, also devs, shovel sometimes dont work, and game is registering it like you use bare hands to remove dirt and obstacles...

[SpaceBallsJim]

bump this is urgent deal for anyone who wanna play
just finished 60 days run only cuz im veteran and know exactly what to do to beat the bugged game... had 10 pills / herbal meds on stock combo (some of each) and yet on day 60 zero of those with 3 out of 4 characters still slightly sick / sick / sick, game is badly broken atm in the sense of toons getting sick ALL the time
for players who still learn the game wait until bugs are fixed, game is nearly unplayable at the moment
or at least play custom games for now with winter turned off maybe this will help until issue is resolved

I got a reply from the email I sent to the support team, they said there should be a fix in a matter of days, fingers crossed guys.
