Not getting a needed obulus?

[Gibor]

I've just got passenger number 5, Gustav who instantly paid his obulus. This made me curious why I haven't gotten all the obulus from the other spirits (i so far only got 4). I've gotten the coins from Atul, Gwen and Summer, but not from Alice. As far as my research went, there is no indication, that she pays later. Is this a bug? And if yes, is it a game breaking one?

They all give their obol at different times. That being said, Alice should also give hey obol right when she comes aboard. Right now you've gotten the 4 you mentioned and spent two one the double jump? On Steam you could load a previous auto save if you want to make sure you did receive it or not.

Thanks for your answer. I know that they give it at different times. Yes, I got the double jump and just wanted to buy my second skill, realising that this one costs 3. So I got curious, when to get Alices Obol, but to my surprise I found out, that she should give it immediately. That's why I wrote here.
I didn't play around with the auto saves so far, because I don't want to loose any progress. Do you mean I should go back (hence loosing all progress since) and try again to get Alice on board?

Yes, I meant that if you think this is the source of the bug, it would be possible to load a previous save point. The auto save folder will keep the last 250 saves of the game, so you can safely load a previous point, then load back your previous progression if you want to reverse the operation (this would be the auto save with the highest number in the () ). The second upgrade requires 2 obols, so you'd have to have obtained 4 since the beginning to get it. If you have a lot of progress you don't want to lose, you can send me your save to [e-mail] and I'll check it. You'll find it at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Thunder Lotus Games\Spiritfarer\SF_SAVE_GAME0.save.

Dear Alex
Thank you very much for your kind support. Now there is something very embarrassing I have to confess. I was very irritated when I read in your message that the second upgrade needs 2 obols and not 3 as I thought. So I opened my game and checked the island with the upgrade and I found the ebarrassing truth: There is no bug. Just a stupid user.
Turns out, I totally misread the display. When you open the upgrade screen it said 3/2. I interpreted this as "costs 3, you've got 2" not the other way around. Now I don't remember if this undestanding of mine was so clear to me the first time, that I didn't even bother pressing X or if I did, but didn't press it right, so that I got confused. And I definitely didn't activly receive the obol from Alice. But the fact stands: I reported an bug that isn't there.

I'm very sorry for your troubles for nothing. Please forgive me.

Thanks a lot for your efforts nevertheless and thanks a lot for this wonderful game as well. It’s a great game to pick up after a long hard day. Just sailing around a bit, cook some food, do this and that and … oh … so much for just a quick game before going to bed… :-)

Glad you got it sorted out! I much prefer this than finding out we have a critical bug in the wild =)
