Elves campaign bug

[winter wyvern practice]

hi, so that i cannot finish the game cos there is a bug , in the last part, after the angels crying scene the primary objective changes, to, "Destroy the inquisition castle" but there is nothing in the map and no, is not the empire capital because it is already destroyed.

Anyone helps me please xD?

I was doing some reading about the issue and you aren't the only one to encounter it. The "inquisition castle" is indeed the Empire Capital and the problem seems to occur when you have already destroyed it but the game doesn't recognise this and gives you the quest to destroy it anyways.

I'm not sure about the quest structure in the last act yet since I haven't reached it myself but it might be worth replaying it from an early save and not destroying the Empire's capital to see if that helps.

Some other solutions exist. Firstly, simply obtaining a save file from someone who didn't encounter the bug and loading from there.

Failing that there are 1/2 other solutions posted on the kalypso forums but I'd be hesitant to try them. One of them involves downloading an older version of the executable that the problem didn't exist in and simply loading the save on that.

The 2nd solution was to replace the file "elves_7.scene" with a fixed version but the repaired file is no longer hosted anywhere so this is largely unhelpful. (see below)

I'll provide links but if you decide to use them just be careful. I'd suggest reloading the save and not destroying the capital first and if that doesn't work there's also the option of obtaining a save file from someone who didn't encounter the bug.

If anyone else has a better solution it would be great to know about.

edit: I'm adding this to the first post just so that it is more visible. This error is solved

I managed to track down the supposedly repaired "elves_7.scene" file from the czech fan translation patch where they claimed to have fixed the problem. I've uploaded the file to Mega, and you can download it here[mega.co.nz]

well actually you can search "disciples 3: renaissance gamecopworld" and download the no-cd for 1.6 from that side, download it and copy it to where your disciples 3 is (normally it's steam\steamapps\common\disciples 3\Binaries" something like that), before you do that you should back up your current disciples 3. exe first because this file is a no-cd, it will overwrite your original exe, so back up your original disciples 3.exe first . Last step is to copy your save games folder from your "\Users\PC\Documents\My Games\DisciplesIII\Save" to your D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Disciples 3", then reload the save and step into the red ring after the angels battle

It's just something wrong with the 1.6.02 that breaks the game,

I can't test the file myself but if it works let us know. If it doesn't work then I can simply delete the file. Make sure you back up the original elves_7.scene file before you test this file. I would suggest attempting this solution before trying the exe rollback solution just simply because it's easier.

This file worked for me.

At least I'm assuming it is the correct ending. It's a little bizarre.

[Chronoja]

Excellent. Hopefully it'll work for anyone else having the problem.

[Ajay]

wtf, is this truly the end? when yes why can i play the mission as if nohing happened?

[Chronoja]

I managed to get around to completing the game and I encountered the same bug. I can officially confirm that the file I have uploaded works, in agreement to harris_alexanders post. If anyone encounters this bug in the future, this is the solution.

[Vegeta]

i confirm tha the elves_7.scene is working Psychos well done and ty for your recovery on the file!! at last i played the ending!

[Chronoja]

That's great. I'm glad to see it is working. I have made a small guide about the fix for this so that the information is easier to find and in case the thread gets deleted or falls back several pages where people tend not to look. If you guys have any problems with it or have any feedback about it let me know and I can update it.

Hello from Czech translation team! :-) We hope our elves_7.scene works fine for you. We also finished solution for undead_4.scene. The patch (Gold edition) will be out in a few weeks.

Great to hear from you guys. The file seems to be doing it's job perfectly, a big thanks to the translation team :). Awesome to see you are still working on other fixes as well, good stuff.

The fixed elves_7.scene file didn`t work for me :-(
Anyways thank you for the try.

The elves_7.scene file fix worked for me. Thank you very much :D
