[Sasha]

after the last up date the next day was ment to be a sunday or church day no paster showed up and i couldnt give my sermon. i even re loaded my game notting i alsoput carrots out for the donkey notting again. so i did some stuff saved my game then check to see if miss lust was in she too was a no show. come on game im this far in i dont want to start all over.
tried to restart it the donkey isnt showing up on any day.

welp something got messed up

[CaptainOctopus]

Same here. I am here supporting you.

I noticed in one day, the donkey stop delivering corpse. At the beginning I though it is normal, cuz on the other save it happened too. Like the donkey stopped working for 4-5 days, and then everything was back to normal.

But the donkey in one save seems stop working forever (last 3 weeks in game without delivery). And at the same time, all NPCs didn't show up at their position on each day they supposed to show up (all "fixed" NPC are at their place).

To clearify first, I never use any mode or tools to modify the game. I am a natural player.

==== UPDATE 12/12/2018 ====

There has to be with this bug... https://steamcommunity.com/app/599140/discussions/0/1736589519997246945/

In comment below this forum mentioned that there has to be with the game function called: PauseGameOnGUIs. If it is accidently switched to False somehow, it prevents NPCs from ceasing to walking.

Merchant is not showing up

and consequently Bishop is not showing up neither.

Donkey is less obvious to show in screenshot, so Deves, I have the save file right here for you. Could you do something about it please? We are suffering from this.

mine must be stuck at night cause no one is showing up

[Gritos]

yup, I just double checked, even at night the astrologer is still there.
..so I gues the game is stuck at the time your save was when the game was updated??

I open two saves today, and figured out that it happens randomly. But I aggree to your point.

One save I didn't trigger the Inquisiter's story line, where Gary shows up in the yard with scare saying that the Inquisiter is showing up at the back hill.... Then after weeks, this cut-scene is never showing back to me.... Meanwhile, all NPCs stuck at their place.

Another save, I accidently didn't sleep at the night from Day Lust to Day Gluttony .... And start from there, every NPCs freeze again. I keep not sleeping for two days till Day Wrath to check if Inquisiter is showing up or not. And guess what? No Dunkey, no Inquisiter, no Nothing after then.

There has to be some broken save mechanism and related with that "PauseGameOnGUIs" in their code...

Deves, do something please!
