the candle holder that hates candels

[Leegru]

after my first game got bugged where i had no main story missions, i started a new game to hopefully not have that happen.

first thing i notice was that my candle stick was red and not letting me light up a candle despite having candles. i thought maybe once i learn "the stack" it might sort it self out... it did not. read a form thing saying to just go to the misc section and try to use/equip the candles them self...didnt work. i even modded my save file to have the candle stick at 100%.... didnt work....but turning on big ears did.

how do i fix the candle stick with a hatred of candles?

Same problem here. Everything worked during my first playthrough. But now on a new game the candlestick stays red and my 5 candles seem to be useless.

Still no answer from the devs and now i've got the same bug that prevents me from second playthrough.

Same here. I had to start a new game because I was stuck (the spider venom I had picked before the related quest mysteriously disappeared from my inventory @.@), and again an item bug. What's going on?

Ran into unrelated bug and did this to fix it, give it a try maybe it will work for this.

Try - Verify Game Local Files
and see if that fixes it.

Try - Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ghost of a Tale
and run their ClearPreferences, or SettingsReset it will reset graphics settings to default but fixed my (end game) bug of the chest not triggering the conversation and final battle event.

Try - Reinstalling the game? maybe

I just had this problem, I solved it by simply starting a new game again while in the cell. Once I grabbed the candle from the chest, it worked okay. If I tried starting new game from an old save, it would repeat the glitch.

The weirdest part... Whenever I'd start a new game and then load the autosave, I would begin the game in the cell with 2 black lutkas, a full set of armor, and some foodstuffs as well as having the broken candle glitch. Couldn't find any way to keep the armor and fix the candles.

Edit: Aha! After restarting to get back to normal and getting the candle and out of the cell, I did Kerold's quest (autosaved) and then later I reloaded that newest autosave. I now have a working candlestick AND a full set of armor! Woot!

A mi también me pasó en mi segunda partida. Tenía el símbolo de velas como bloqueado en rojo y lleno con 5, pero me decía que no tenia velas y tampoco podía coger.

El bug se soluciona muy fácil: la primera habilidad que puedas aprender que sea la de apilar mas objetos en el inventario. cuando puedas pasar de 5 a 10 velas el bug desaparece
