And provide as much detail as possible:

– Brief description of the bug: Please share as many details as you can, what you were doing when it occured, where it occured ingame and supporting screenshots (hosted to a website like https://imgur.com/)

– DirectX diagnostic file:
• Press the Windows + R key
• Type dxdiag in the search box and click on OK
• When DxDiag opens, check to see if there’s a button that says Run 64-bit DxDiag – if there is click it

• Copy and paste the text and share us your pastebin link: https://pastebin.com/

Thanks for your help!

Another minor issue, unless it was changed on purpose:

The Achondar pops up even a little before you go through the gate. In the original it didn't show up until a bit after you got in and the gate closed behind you. That effect was great, especially for the first playthrough. Now I imagine it won't have the same impact.


Oh, and one more:

Some times the boat rudder(?) / rowing thing disappears.


EDIT: I'll add another little funny one :-) Those explanatory words (in parenthesis) aren't always on point?

Hi all, I have another bug, this one is a bit more extreme.

I saved my game in Okasankaar and made three saves, all as backups in case of save game failure. Upon starting my game today, I can't get into any save game as it just goes black and then crashes to desktop. Even the auto-save doesn't work.

I know Windows 10 just released a new update and my computer did update last night - is anyone else having this issue?

Mhm... very strange. I could check if the problem has anything to do with the save itself if you send one to me! (it's in the Outcast folder on your PC)

Still have stutters with vsync on even Fraps shows constant 60fps.

Hey, I've messaged you my save games and the most recent error report! Thanks for that!

Btw, maybe not a bug per-se, but the "croach" position looks a bit awkward with the moving legs all the time.

Bug: Not receiving zorkins for selling additional zeedog glands to Jokace

I returned from Okasankar with 10 zeedog glands in my backpack intending to deliver "something sticky" to Jokace the Hide merchant and everything worked out fine at first. Suggesting to use zeedog glands worked fine. And so did delivering 4 of them and I received the reward for doing so. By that point I had 400 zorkins and 6 Glands left in my inventory.

But after that I tried to sell my remaining 6 glands. The dialogue played out, I got the prompt asking me if I wanted to sell my glands for 70 zorkins each, I chose "yes" and the animation and dialog for the exchange played as intended. But afterwards when i pressed F to check, i still had only 400 zorkins but zero glands left in my backpack.

I loaded up my previous save file which was just before entering the daoka to Talanzar from Okasankar, but the same thing happened again. All glands are gone but i receive no additional Zorkins. I tried to reload a couple of more times from a save file closer to Jokace but it changed nothing.

As a last ditch attempt I ran back to Okasankar, collected one more gland and then returned to Jokace again. But it didn’t change anything unfortunately (not that I know why it would honestly, but you never know with bugs).

This is by no means game breaking but it is a bit annoying, I'm not sure if I'm the only one who has experienced this.

As a longtime fan I’m having a great time so far rediscovering my favorite game. So I hope these small problems can be ironed out! =)

On my second playthrough. Spoke to Shamaz Zeb. Grilled him on every information point he has. He no longer offers the option to heal me. He did before I started asking questions, but now the option is missing.

I am using Patch 2.

I think you either need to wait a bit if you were recently healed and / or are not very hurt? I've noticed this before patch 2 (I haven't tried with patch 2 yet)

My system Freezes when entering first Doaka, everything runs beautifully until then.

After finishing the training with Jan and Zokrym powers up the Daoka, I pass through and then the loading screen starts with the music. The screen then fades to black and the music continues but the game becomes unresponsive, I can't even alt-tab out or use task manager. I have to turn the system power off to restore control to my computer which is far from ideal.
I have had the same issue since I bought this on day one, both patches have not addressed this crash on my system.
This is a massive shame because I was very much looking forward to playing this after having issues years ago with Twon-ha's and processor speed which left me unable to continue the game. I feel envious of everyone who is trouble free.

Do you match minimum system requirements?
Did you put all settings to lowest before using the Daoka?

The first region is small and less complex for your system... could be related to some error when loading the bigger second region.

Thank you for your reply Totems.
I am reasonably over the minimum specs on an older laptop and can run on very high with no problems in the first area. I have tried all the different settings in various configurations and I get the same problem.

I was hoping someone may have a workaround or could confirm a similar issue. I don't think it is healthy to keep forcing a power down of my laptop to continue testing, especially if it is only my computer out of thousands that is affected ths way.

I will be back home from work at the end of the month and I can test and compare it on my desktop which is upto date, sadly this can take up space in my Library until then.

I was roughly 65% health and hadn't been healed recently.

I used the old savegames with the new patch but none of my problems have been solved
do I have to start a new game?

Just encountered Heza outside of the Riss bok. He looks like he is bending over to pick something up, but is frozen in animation. If I talk to him, they just stare at eachother before the game dumps me back at the conversation menu.
