Is the Faithbreaker bug still a thing?

[Myth64]

Does anyone know if this bug has been patched yet? Not sure I want to risk buying the game if it's still a common issue.

i dunno, i'm 14 hours in and no bugs, does it happen further in?

Nevermind I found this post which seems to resolve it:

It's not really a resolution in that thread, and the bug definitely still exists and if you've gone past your auto-save point then your game is ruined. It's important to be aware of, and when you come to starting the faithbreaker research make sure you're not doing anything else, and then start it. Then go on a general mission, get back, (you can do a hangout without there being a problem), sleep, go straight down to the forge and complete the research.

Yeah looking back at this, I probably worded that badly. I meant it's a fix if you know beforehand what to look for/do.

Thanks for the clarification though. I am still on the fence about the game because, apparently, the best part is the battle system, and the rest is pointless busy work.

In my review of the game I said that the problem with the outer game was that it was a lot of distractions for the awesome inner game (the battle system), but the game was still worth it just because the battle system really is that good. I still stand by that, if you like tactics games this really won't disappoint.

Cool, going to mull it over some more. Got plenty to play currently but I do really enjoy deckbuilding games. I have a few days to decide before it's no longer on sale.

Just a heads up, the faithbreaker bug is still existing in the game, I just encountered it. Quite a shame how they just abandoned the game while it consits of game breaking bugs. It's quite a good game, just wish I knew beforehand that it still consits of a hard-lock like this.

So far I did 2 full playthroughs and didn't encounter this bug. What triggers it?

[1ud0-ergo-sum]

If you start to research the faithbraker armor before you get the prompt the game will just ignore that you ever started to research it and therefore you are permanently stuck, even after the research is completed. I can only adivse to hard save after every single mission, else there is a chance to lose hours of progress

So to avoid it, wait for the game to basically say 'hey, the faithbreaker is a thing you should get'?

Exactly, for me it took a mission or 2 to come up, Tony sends you a message and you are good to go. Just don't start the resarch beforehand.

Playing on PS5, but since Steam Forums are the most accessible to me...

Definitively still there, and the game is abandoned as everyone seems to know --- as I'm discovering after searching a workaround for this issue for an hour.

Saved just before the sanctum mission last night, and all autosaves have been used up due to gameplay until I realized I couldn't progress (1 general mission in Act 2 and some fast travelling...)

So restart needed, level 20 lost, all the cards, level 3~4 with all heroes available...

There's so much good in this game though, I can't just abandon it, guess I'll try out skipping all dialogue and scenes I've seen and starting on Heroic 2 for faster XP/Gloss.

they didn't "abandon" the game the game had 4 DLCs and marked as complete its not a live service game there is a vast difference between a game being marked as complete and the devs moved on vs abandon. marvels avengers was abandoned this was not. sure a few bugs never got fixed but its not the devs problem to go back every year and patch a game thats complete. the devs aren't your slaves where they need to cater to your needs and fix everything for all eternity, its very common for a game to go live get support for a year or two and the devs move on that is not abandoning a game. you wouldn't say witcher 3 or skyrim or any other game where the devs stopped supporting it were abandoned your being so bad faith its unreal.

Oh well, if it's marked as completed, it must be complet for sure. Please let us know, did they mark Scarlet Witch boots as completed as well?

And this example wasn't game-breaking like the previous one cited in the post, which is just unacceptable (but it's visual, and also for the lolz). With all the respect I have to dev team and their work on MMS, but still.

I never had any great expectations or demands for this game, but marked as completed or not it was effectively abandoned in a very borderline condition at the very least. And that includes the omnipresent performance issues, particularly around Hunter's bed, but not only. The last battle in my NG was ok, then I had a painful one in my NG+ (1 fps/sec) with exactly the same settings.
I also had to watch "unread" marks on my roster (except Hulk and Raider, ridiculous) for the whole of my NG+, what a shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DJCL8rGBFA

I'm in first line to defend the game, but be realistic, maybe it's more the "good" devs are the slaves to the "bad" shareholders

The Ancestral combat outfit was all fine and obtainable until a bug prevented it. One that wasn't fixed. Ever.

No clown award for you though.
