The Bug/Issues/Suggestion Thread

[Warlight]

Collect all your bug reports here. make it easier for ppl (maybe Koei) to know what bugs/issues are out there for now.

ONLY DISCUSS BUGS, ISSUES, OR SUGGESTIONS. Spam will be sliced, fried, and made into Hawaiian Spam Sushi

- What's up with Nahimic making the game unable to launch properly? still not sure how it could affect it to such an extent
- Getting a stretched-off-the-screen display with buggy colours (mostly red or red-tinted) when going fullscreen. had to go borderless.
- No support for side buttons for gaming mouse. That means you can't bind stuff to your side buttons.

- The game isn't fun

That's subjective. The game is fun for me. KOEI can't fix that for everyone. It's impossible.


As for me, I've recently had the game soft crash when I quit the game. No progress is lost, but it's annoying.

Edit to add: I've also had the lack of appearance of rain. I see the puddles and the shiny wet faces and clothes from the rain, but not the rain itself.

[Crono_Ocelot]

I had the opposite problem you did. I had to change from borderless to fullscreen because borderless was stretched off the screen for me.

Edit: I've also had the constant soft crashing when quitting as well.

[DJoneK]

Soft crash when quitting here too. Probably caused by first patch.

Some audio and sfx seems to be muted when other things are also playing.

Rain. Glorious rain is missing.

Performance optimizations when many characters are on screen.

Thanks for making this. I hope some people won't spam useless comment in this thread since this may be helpful for the developers to sort out the problems.

As for me
-there are some problems I noticed when hunting or using the bow. I can't seem to hit the target even though it's right in front of me.
-Textures sometimes doesn't load correctly
-Soft crashes during quitting
-No rain particles
-Sometimes officers doesn't hold the weapon properly (Flail and Chain and Sickle) The chains are floating next to their hand.
-Character appear off and stretched in character preview on low resolutions.

I know some of my issues are nit picking but I hope this helps the developers.

Enemies getting stuck inside of buildings during big fights
Rain effects can't be seen
Lower framerates when coming out of menus
Animals getting stuck in the ground
Optimization issues

[surfried]

- sometimes controller dies in game (in particular situation, like shooting explosion arrow, using musou)
- soft crash when quitting the game
- some officer in some mission is gone/missing so the mission cant be completed (When im about to invade cheng du, the side missions, but i forgot which one)
- optimization of the game lel
- texture load is horrible sometimes
- rain doesnt appear
- music changes between battles sometimes does not sync with the situation of the player
- positioning of the enemies are awkward sometimes (like at the side of the mountains)
- character voice sometimes get cut off in the middle

[Warlight]

-i have also experienced the soft crash on quitting, character voice occasionally delayed, and the totally invisible raindrops. agree that the soft crash is annoying
-there clearly needs more optimization, especially when you're in the middle of a mob. drops frames like the bass.
-"game not fun" is subjective. i find the game very, VERY adictive. i'm a sidequest hog, so i have to force myself to stop sidequesting...
-no texture issues on my end. yet.

my main pet peeve with DW games is and always has been:
-skirts glued to legs
-substandard textures.

like, we can have flowy capes but not flowy skirts lol wtf lol.

anyway I agree with eMCee82: let's keep the thread on topic. report any spam and nonsense you find: this is strictly for discussing bugs, issues, and stuff the devs could improve on (like the music selection getting stale quickly after an extended session of sidequesting. clearly there's not enough music for an open-world game)

The Nahimic sound software crashes the game because it has a "Sound Tracker" overlay which is a directX hook.
It's one of the Nahimic features but because it uses DirectX hook injection it conflicts with the Steam Overlay directX hooks (which is needed to make controllers work in this game) thereby causing a crash.
Reshade also makes the game crash. (reshade.me for info on reshade)

In fact, any overlay program that uses directX hooks (they all do as far as i know) has a chance to cause glitches and crashes with the steam overlay and big picture controller functions. This could include things like fraps, discord overlay, graphics card specific software suites, sweetFX, and many more. Not saying they all WILL cause issues, just that there is a chance of them calling on the same DirectX hooks in the code and causing errors.

i see. so the issue is not that DW9 screewd up, but that Nahimic is using stuff that DW9 uses and it basically caused a big train pileup. seems flawed on nahimic's end. can't really do anything much with the nahimic on my comp tho since it's pre-installed by MSI

[Warlight]

-found LOTS of typos. as a proofreader it's super triggering me...
-found an amusing non-breaking glitch where if your horse gets stuck on let's say a fence, it jitters around until it gets unstuck.
-on docks, the rower's hands aren't aligned with the oar
-Xiapi not flooded enough. i miss DW8-levels of Xiapi flooding. DW9 Xiapi flood looks more like part of the city turned into a scenic lake
-Lu Bu way too easy. RIP "Do Not Pursue Lu Bu". bring back cc-immune Lu Bu.
-game starting to feel like an mmo after 10 hours. at this point you're already wishing this is an Empires game or a DW Online 2 just so you can make your own chara
-found an exploit where if you manage to kick/juggle the base guard for corner bases, the game counts it as a win and you will seize the base, even though the base guard is still alive and stuck on the bottom trying to get back up.
-open world is too "flat"; featureless compared to old DW maps.

would be great if this thread gets pinned so it would stop getting buried

[Tel46]

I am playing this on the PS4, the issues i still have is that when starting a game i still get tearing and have to come out of the game then go in to options and change the graphics back and forth then go back in to it and all is well.
The other issue i have is that i have lost all of my Legendary weapons, looks like they have turned to rare but i still have the weapons legendary scrolls but the option is not there for the Blacksmith to craft them.

whoa. that weapon bug seems super annoying, if not inconveniencing. no such thing on my end.

btw:
-found bug where enemies would clip into walls, and get stuck there. you can still kill them if you are good enough to hit them with ranged abilities (eg: Cao Cao's special)
-found a issue where if you try to take over Fan Castle, the keep will be barred off since its doors are barred from the inside. so you could see the bots fighting each other inside, but you can't do anything about it other than letting them fight it out. not gamebreaking, just super weird. only happens when Fan Castle is non-essential to capture (i.e. no quest requiring you to capture it)

[Warlight]

-found bug where if you open steam overlay and close it again, the mouse would stick around on your screen ingame. weird and annoying bug since your mouse also controls your cam
-not sure if this is a DW bug or a Steam bug, but yesterday my overlay switched to Big Picture by itself, even though i never activated it for years. today it's back to the normal overlay.

[Warlight]

for the Main Mission "Pursuit at Changban" for Cao Cao, the start's bugged: the routing points to Xiakou when it actually starts at Xiangyang. so what happened is i have to go to Xiakou, go back to Xiangyang, and THEN back to Xiakou (once i'm done with the sub-quests)
