Game "freezes" after defeating Nyarlathotep (spoilers ahead)

[FireDragonDoL]

Hello! I'm one of the backers from Kickstarter which was glad to find out you added multiplayer. The game went from "I really want to play" to "I can play with my whole family TOP PRIORITY" within seconds of your release.
We reached the end of the game (at least we think), as soon as we defeat Nyarlathotep though, after he screams a bit, the game "freezes": our characters cannot move anymore, we see a portal behind it (the portal is still animated, so the game is not really frozen!!!). I tried moving with keyboard, with controllers, just nothing.
There is no possibility to move further. I can't even pause the game.
However, the game is clearly not crashed and not frozen, the portal is animated.

I noticed in my save folder an output.txt, the last few lines say:

GameObject is already being activated or deactivated.


Trying to Terminate GlideBehaviour (PlayerGlideBehaviour) when it is not executing, dangerous if not intended


GameObject is already being activated or deactivated.


GameObject is already being activated or deactivated.


NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
ControllersManager.OnDestroy ()


NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
OnlyUseCameraBoundsChildOfThisObject.OnDisable ()

No idea if it could be of any help.

PLEASE help, I can't describe the frustration of being at the last boss and not being able to see what happens next!!!

Be aware: we defeated the gong guy at the bottom of the prayer temple (the one that becomes accessible after you kill the 3 big bosses) and got the "drop level 4 talent" thingy. We also corrupted all abilities but one (cannon), and we destroyed one ancient shard.

If anyone can recommend a workaround, please let me know.
Oh man, baby was also sleeping, it was the perfect day to finish the game... sigh

News, after 7 additional kills (we became particularly efficient at that), we tried the following:
- disabled particle effects
- texture to low
- change language to english (was italian)

And I asked my wife to stay on the right side after the boss died.
It did move forward, YAY~!

Now I'm super sad that we burned a single shard, we could have seen the other ending... sigh

That is strange. I am terribly sorry you encountered this issue! I am unsure what caused the issue for you.

Some potential cause I could see are:

1. There is something wrong with the files necessary to play the ending. Run "Verify integrity of game files" through the game Steam properties to make sure this is not the case.

2. We could have introduced a bug when finishing the bug in multiplayer. You can check if this is the case either by killing the boss in solo, or by opting-in the previous build of the game by selecting "oldversion" in the game steam beta tab.

If those don't work, could you please send your output.txt to alex@thunderlotusgames right after attempting the boss? I'll take a look and see if something went wrong.

Glad you found a workaround! If you wish, send us your savefile at [e-mail] and we'll refund the shard that you destroyed (we might only get to it on monday however). Save is located at %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Thunder Lotus Games/Sundered.

Hello, thanks for the fast reply!
We did find a cheat engine table around and was able to add myself the shard, that helped a lot, thanks for the offer though!

I'll try tomorrow to see what the cause could be. When I ran integrity check, it did find a file to fix (weird, should I be concerned for my SSD???), although my guess is still specific to the language, but who knows.

AMAZING game people. I'm glad you gave this game coop, it went from "great game" straight into my favourites list (and I'm VERY picky) as a permanent entry! ;)

It could be a number of things but I wouldn't be worried about your SSD. When this happens, it typically is the download that went wrong. We'll try reproducing it on monday. You were playing in 2-player co-op, in Italian and after killing the boss he gave his speech but the game stopped there?

Good news is we figured out the issue and fixed it on our end.

Bad news is it will take a while before the patch goes out, so you will need to finish the fight solo to insure the outro triggers properly. (You can pause as soon as the boss is defeated, before the end of the death animation, and remove the additional players. It will bypass the issue and trigger the ending as intended.)

Sorry for the trouble and thank you for the report!

Sorry I missed this post and yes!

Thanks Medlife, all good anyway.
Loved the game, we already miss it. Might replay when my baby gets big enough for a 3-players time!
