Right shoe bug ?

[Occisor]

I go outside to pick my shoe up and it its not in my inventory not on me and when i go to the quest log it still says to pick it up

The "fix" for it seems to be shut the game down before you make a new char and dont save the game before you pick the shoe up

It's hilarious. I come from a game which isn't triggering quest progression in certain situations. This game was Days Gone and I told myself I hope I will not play again a game so soon where quest progression is bugged or glitched so soon. Started Disco Elysium a few hours ago and ran into the shoe glitch.

I'm on PlayStation 4, by the way, which means, it carried over to this version. There are already countless patches and fixes for the new version on console and man, this game seems still so full of bugs and other glitches. The game itself is fantastic, but if this is another journey through bug planet I guess I will give other, more polished games a chance.

Hi there, we are aware of this issue and are looking into it, thanks!

So I guess after the Final Cut you are still looking into it.

Still having the issue as well, this is amazing, almost two years later and they can't fix a shoe glitch.

Here is my step by step for solving this annoying bug:

__Find and open save file__
1. Open the game. Take off any snakeskin shoe you are wearing (makes the change easier). Create a new savegame. Name it “shoefix”. Quit the game.

2. Find the savegame folder. Usually in %AppData%/LocalLow/Zaum Studio/Disco Elysium/SaveGames/

3. There are two files called shoefix… in the SaveGames folder. An image for displaying in the menu, and a zip-file. Extract the zip files to a folder somewhere Else (like your desktop), and keep the folder name intact except .zip (so keep .ntwf).

4. Open the extracted folder and edit the file that ends with 2nd.ntfw.json. A good text editor helps, but notepad works just fine.

__Edit the save file__
5. The game has not registered that you picked up one of the shoes (left for me, maybe always?). Fix this by searching for the section called [“gainedItems”]. This has a list of things you picked up. Add a new row in the section:
[“shoes_snakeskin_left”,]
Omit the brackets and remember the comma if you are not adding to the bottom of the list. You should have both left and right shoes in the section now, and no comma after the last item in the list.

6. Unfortunately the game doesn’t combine the shoes when it’s done this way. To fix this, add another row to the [“gainedItems”] section:
[“shoes_snakeskin”,]
Again omit brackets and mind the comma.

7. Find the section [“inventory”], which has a few subsections. Find the subsection [“CLOTHES”]. This section has a list of items with a key and a name. The keys must be unique, because they determine which spots in you inventory the item is found ingame. There should be two shoes, if you took both off. If there are two then delete one of the shoes:
{
“Key”: 1,
“Value”: “shoes_snakeskin_right”
}
Delete the entire block above for one of the shoes. Leave the other in.

8. In the [“CLOTHES”] subsection, find the other shoe, andchange the content of the [“Value”] from [“shoes_snakeskin_left”] to [“shoes_snakeskin”]. It should look like:
{
“Key”: *,
“Value”: “shoes_snakeskin”
}
The number of the Key can just be left as whatever it already is.

__Backup and replace save file__
9. Save the file. Zip the unpacked folder back up and keep the name. It should now have the exact same name as the original file in the SaveGames folder.

10. Copy the *original* shoefix…zip file from the SaveGames folder to a new location as a backup.

11. Copy the edited shoefix….zip file into the SaveGames folder. Overwrite the file that is there.

__Done!__
12. Open the game. Load the shoefix save. Check your inventory and put on the shoes. A thought occurs which solves the quest.

Notes: If you don’t create a new save without shoes equipped, you also need to change the sections [“equipment”] and [“equippedItems”].


I hope it helps.

Ha! Devs have known about this bug for 2 years but it's still here. I rarely throw shade on devs because... you know, I try not to be that guy.

I'm just glad that somebody came along with an unusually easy-to-follow text-based guide on how to fix the issue.

Rock on, Esben Du Ved. Rock on.
