problems, bugs and glitches everywhere....
some problems i had in 10h playtime:
- slide glitch (players cant attack anymore - best for bossfights)
- fall though floor /stuck
- blackscreen /stuck
- camera stuck
- gamepad stopped working / no controlls possible
- 0 hp but not dead
- =! 0 hp but dead
- hit detection at stairs not working at all
- missing animations everywhere
- game crashs on loading screens
- ai freezes / does nothing
- mobs freezes
- all atks are missing players ( = invincibility)
- mobs are freezing and do nothing / cant be attacked.
- missing textures / map parts
- savegame shows 999919456423812938hours playtime
- npc dialogs freeze the game (endless dialogs)
- missing descriptions
- wrong translations (voice + text dosnt match)
- performance issues (you cant run the game on a igpu, which can handle world of warcraft?!?)
- no graphic settings
- tearing without windows aero (no vsync - engine fault)
- "fake fullscreen" only (no external vsync possible, thanks a lot.)
- framerate autoadjusts to monitor sync, but sometimes stucks at 60fps which cant be fixed without a restart.
- only 2 hotkeys (every controller has way more buttons now.)
- hotkeys not working in coop
- false advertising (spellcasting, circle menu, coop,...)
- changes in the stats system/ balence issues (miss, miss, miss /1hit kills)
- LOADS of missed chances, to actually make the game better.


feels like a 1,99 euro game, not 40 euro. this is one of the worst softwares i have ever seen. even early access games have a higher quality. in the current state, this is scam. maybe suiteable for asia, because they dont care about technical stuff. but for the rest of the world, this is just ♥♥♥♥.

man you guys are picky. have you ever played a TES game before? you could make a list ten times longer than that and not even scratch the surface.

going through your list, in 22 hours of play the ones I've encountered are:

(honestly your list is super-contrived)

- slide glitch (players cant attack anymore - best for bossfights)
once, supposed to be fixed in upcoming patch

- hit detection at stairs not working at all
k, yeah, this one is annoying

- only 2 hotkeys (every controller has way more buttons now.)
yeah, that could be better

- changes in the stats system/ balence issues (miss, miss, miss /1hit kills)
the only one I know of is the bosses being easier

- LOADS of missed chances, to actually make the game better
describes every game ever, even the best games ever made

everything else I either never experienced or is too contrived to comment on

I actually found a bug with the Glove weapon, if you happen to crit a mob with the grab animation and the mob lands in a wall the game goes nutz with impact sound and a crit message is spammed over head, the mob in the mean time doesn't die cus the crit damage amount never comes up, you can reset by just leaving the area and reentering. Pretty funny.

The Elder Scrolls is made by a company known for it's notoriously buggy games. Square Enix, despite how I feel about them, are not known for releasing games this unpolished. A lot of the bugs are fairly in your face and happened to enough people that it should've been noticed and dealt with before release.

Also.. they're huge open world games with a lot more room for problems to occur. Secret of Mana is a decidedly smaller/simpler game by comparison.

I'm surprised, today is the first day where the game didn't glitch out and/or crash on me. It'll probably drive me nuts tomorrow.

I agree with the list. I've seen a lot of the same bugs you listed and so far no new ones.

I agree that the game in its current state with all the bugs is not worth the $40. I've seen better from Square Enix and you'd think they'd be able to get basic things like game crashes and controller support taken care of for a price like that.

Given all the games they've already ported to PC, you'd think they'd have certain things like these down to a science. I'm pretty disapointed in them right now, especially given that they dropped the ball on a game that I loved back in the SNES days.

I guess we'll see how many of these bugs they fix when they release the patch in March.

I sat on a decision to buy this game up until the 28th and finally decided to take the plunge. In five hours I came across three bugs.

1. Right after the girl (temporarily) joined my party I got stuck in a sliding animation before I existed the castle. Resolved on a screen transition.

2. In five hours of play my file apparently tells me I've been playing for 1197 hours. That's a ... curious bug.

3. Sprite Grandpa is too chatty. No seriously I got stuck on him constantly restarting his dialogue to restore you and save the monent we finish talking. Had to save and force close/restart the game.

Thankfully no crashes or peformance related problems to speak of. The speed at which GP is acquired and boss difficulty aren't very appealing to me though. I'm going to be too wealthy with next to no grind. I didn't use a single healing item on bosses before I got Undine.

the only problem i had sofar is this "slide" thing where players+enemies cant attack anymore, and that sometimes the AI-players wont attack or attack the air.

The rest of this either never happens to me or is plainly mimimi on a high lvl (ONLY 2 HOTKEYS OMFG!!!) Some of this systems are actually very clse to the original, like that mobs take hits later or that staircase stuff.

You should be glad that they even introduced 2 hotkeys instead of 0 :D

Also one thing that i noticed is, that there is no steam-cloud for the game... which sucks since i usally play though 2 locations

I know that glitch. It turn out that your AI partner is trying to attack the monster that didn't spawn yet. I have to kill all monster around that area or move else where. Then come back to that spot to have it spawn.
