NEW Tarasque bug

[WhinyJack]

EDIT: This bug also appears in the DLC. Dragon battles trigger the same bug. The fix is listed below.

Basically, the glitch is triggered by playing with an XBox controller. If you encounter the glitch, reload your game, and enter the battle by using the MOUSE/KEYBOARD FIRST. Once the battle begins, you can switch back to using your controller. (You do not have to unplug your controller, you may leave it connected and simply use the mouse instead)

As of this writing, 3/13/26, this bug is still present, and has not been fixed by the developer

--------------------------------------

Once again, a Tarasque quest has broken my game.

I visited Steam Flats to get the next Tarasque quest. This time, it's something about noise complaints. I get the quest, and again, the animation freezes, the UI locks up, and I can't do anything. If I back out of the game and move to another location to abandon the quest, it simply loops me back through the same dialogue tree with Tarasque.

Again, this has effectively broken my game. Last time this happened, the Steam forums seemed to get the most results, so here I am again, reporting almost the same bug.

Very frustrating, guys. Please address this ASAP. Thanks!

Okay, this is odd, but I figured I should be a good guy and update in case devs come across this thread.

I started up the game today, and the bug seems to be fixed. I'm starting to think this might be a problem on my end. A very odd problem on my end, but my end nonethelesss.

So, if anyone else comes across this issue, try waiting a day to play again. Seems to work somehow :)

We appreciate the effort and heads up at least :) Will check if this was a one time thing, please let us know if it re-appears.

the same is happening to me

Are you playing with a controller? I think my bug may have been fixed after I unplugged my controller. Kind of a stab in the dark, but worth trying

I play with the controller of xbox360 and i have solve like this: close steam,
remove controller, open steam, open game and play with mouse and it go!
thx WhinyJack <3

Looks like it might be a controller glitch after all. I'm glad we've found a workaround at least.

Devs? Any ideas why this might be happening?

Also, I've finished the game, and it's well worth working around with the mouse and keyboard. Well done, guys!

[prisvas]

Playing without the controller really worked! thanks!

[Talleyrand]

Yeah, I just restarted the dialogue:

Either reload or open character menu

Then used the mouse to click through the dialogue and it fixed it

[WhinyJack]

Bug also appears with dragon battles in DLC. Basically, any boss that takes up the whole screen seems to be a problem. I updated my original post to include fix and new info

Just encountered this bug with Gogzira quest. Using Mouse and Keyboard to progress solved it.
Thank you!

I'm still freezing when tarasque appears, or, doesn't appear hahah. But entering the game with mouse fixes. I use a generic controller
