[BUG] ...sorta.

Every single time I exit the inventory screen or end a conversation, Henry lets out this really weird "inhale" sound like he's recovering his stamina. EVERY TIME I exit the menu, all I hear is: "HHHHUUUUUUHHHHGGGHHHH"

It's quiet and "soft," but it's absolutely driving me crazy. No matter what I cannot "un-hear" it and it's super irritating.

I assume this is some unintended side effect of them "reconfiguring" some behind the scene systems that fixed some bug somewhere, but the level of "subtle" irritation of that god-awful BREATHING is maddening!

JESUS CHRIST, HENRY, I'M LOOSING MY MIND!

I think Henry got a hearth condition or asthma since the patch, haven't you noticed on top of the breathing he also has the heart that races, like when you're about to die with almost no stamina left ?

Poor Henry, he's doomed I don't think there was much to be done for hearth condition at that time ...

Then i had a mysterious thing going on with the capacity of my horse. I took a repair kit of my horse to fix my boots and when i tried to put the repair kit back to the horse the game told me "your horse hasn´t the capacity to carry more" (only in german). And when i take a look what happened my horse carry capacity was .... nothing. There was no capacity at all (even if there was still some stuff loaded to my horse). That fixed itself when i closed the menu and opened it up again. Then the capacity was as it was before. This only happened one time so far.

I had the exact same one, can't remember witch repair kit it was , cobbler or blacksmith , but yes that happend to me also and only once as well so far.

Just got to a part of Questions and Answers where I meet Radzyg at a camp and after a cutscene I get quest failed. I did finish Pestilence before talking to him..I had no idea there was a bug until now and I have no saves of when Pestilence was unfinished :((

Patch 1.3.1 has broken the game completely. Most inventory items are broken (red X indicator on items indicating meshes missing (I guess). Interacting with these items causes HARD CRASH.

The red X indicates the item is badly damaged... nothing to do with meshes and no hard crash!

Fogwar doesn't disappear (well he disapear the time you travell it then come back). Random fat travelling fight starts during loading screen. Treasure maps and books can be bought over and over to the same seller. Potions i make for sasau injuried stays in my inventory after i use them on sick people. For now, this is all i saw.

Yeah, whats the point if an Alchemy bench can't shoot you into the air

Holy sweet mammaries, if the patchnotes truly work, then that's all my complaints of the game gone. Slap my arse if that's so. Great stuff.

Yeah, you're right, there doesn't seem to be any correlation between item condition and crashes. That was a hasty conclusion. Crashes still a very real thing for me though. Can't buy stuff at traders... at all... without kcd shutting down. Starting a new playthrough post patch 1.31 (for the seventeenth time). Maybe this time will be different and I can actually advance in game.

Do you have any mods by chance? I couldn’t purchase anything from the traders until I removed a realism mod that edited more than the param files.

After 1.3 Patch :
+ Game use more threads on CPU.
+ Generally lower and stable frame-time.
+ Game run smoother and better responsiveness.

Frame-Time Graph Comparison :
1.2.5 - https://i.imgur.com/fpq7wAE.jpg
1.3.1 - https://i.imgur.com/NMaqzUA.jpg

With 1.3 patch even on ~45FPS game feels (almost) like 60FPS on 1.2 Patch. Good Job !
I got low FPS cuz all settings on Ultra with 100% Distance/LOD. If i lower only two settings (Shadow and Lighting Quality to Very High) i got 60-90 FPS with 80-99% GPU-Load.
https://i.imgur.com/S5E9LIt.jpg
So, no problems with FPS, i just used heavy settings for comparison.

P.S. Sorry, my English pretty bad :) Just wanna say patch really good for me.

UPD - It's not advice for someone here on graphic settings. No.
And Frame-Time increses only in special problematic areas and camera angles.
And do not confuse about FPS Increase ! I am talking only about Frame-TIME (NOT FPS).

Seems everyone was/is having this problem with the perkaholic mod. There's kinda vague instructions in the posts tab on nexus
------------------

How do you sleep without sitting down? My game still only says 'E to sit'

Edit: nevermind, I guess it just doesn't show up in the beginning. It's working properly now.

Still no road encounters. I traveled from Skalitz to Rattay and Sasau to Merhojed and I met no one...

Same, no road encounters for me neither. I emailed warhorse earlier this month and recieved the following email yesterday:

"This is a known issue and we are working hard to fix it as soon as possible. I recommend you to keep your game always updated to latest version. - Peter Novak"

So maybe next patch I guess. Looks like I will have to start the game again as the game was so bug filled I thought it would be best to use the savegame mod, only now I don't have a save without this bug. Irony.

So.... What about the broken quests? Are we still stuck? And please, don't bother me with "b-b-but.. *I'M* not stuck.. comments please.
