Feedback and known bugs: Chaos edition
The chaos edition is a different version of the mod that messes with the monster spawns, loot and a few other things. Therefore, I treat its balance differently from the original mod that provides much better balance. This thread therefore focusses on the problems that are exclusive to the chaos edition.

Known problems:
-Some quest monsters might spawn outside of the regular spawning locations. There is no fix to that. Reset the area by logging out and hope for the best.
-The game might crash randomly. This is the engine running into limits because of the high monster count. There is nothing I can do about it, unfortunately.
-You might experience lag when there are a lot of monsters around. This is also a problem with the engine. Having a fast PC might help, but aside from that I don't know a solution.
-Dead enemies might randomly freeze in the air or in strange positions. Probably also a problem with the engine.

That sounds fun! Probably the engine trying to deal with all the dead bodies. So, I don't think I can fix this but it's good to know.

Game crashed while playing a level 12 angel class, and when I loaded back in the screen was stuck at a checkpoint and I was nowhere to be seen.

@aredja2 did you maybe start the normal version of the mod after the crash? This problem seems to occur when switching from one version of the mod to the other.

There is no fix to that problem. Happened to me to when I accidentally went from the chaos edition to the normal one. You run is dead, start a new character.

Hi, Acamas. First: great mode. Second: If you accidentally change the mod while logging into the game, it causes bugs and you won't be able to continue playing. Is there a chance that only chaos mode will be available?

Acamas  [developer] Oct 3, 2021 @ 1:41am 
Hi garet777, making only one of the two available is unfortunately not possible without creating two different mod pages. However, you can simply delete the folder of one version in your steam mod directory and it won't show up in the game anymore.

Thx Acamas deleting worked. I have another problem, some summons do not work for me, among others Archangel or water spirit. I only see a spear on the ground. I do not see the proper summon.

Hi garet777, I assume you don't own the Ragnarok DLC, which is required to use all aspects of this mod.
@Acamas i just got the Ragnarok DLC thx again. So i have another problem how to get lvl 40 skills? i can only add pts to 32?
Acamas  [developer] Oct 8, 2021 @ 8:30am 
Hi garet777, this would probably be the second DLC, Atlantis missing. The skill cap was raised to 40 with Atlantis, so without it the cap is still 32, unfortunately.

Hi, again, i just got Atlantis....but I have a new problem. Chaos is unplayable when there are too many monsters around. So I decided to play the regular Cataclysm mod. However, I accidentally deleted the entire mod folder. How do I get it back? Re-subscribing is not working.
Acamas  [developer] Oct 14, 2021 @ 10:14am 
Hey garet777, I actually don't know exactly how you can get it back since I don't know how steam decides when to download the files again. Steam help says to restart steam, verify integrity and check the download queue.
If that doesn't help, maybe if you unsubsribe, then delete the complete mod folder (with the id 2502915308), restart steam and subscribe again afterwards?
But I really have to say, this is speculation. I don't know if there is a sure way to fix the problem.

Hi Acamas,

great work. It feels like a whole new game at all.
I encountered a bug or made a huge mistake:

in act 3 the gate to the north wont open cuz the quest is stuck.
I changed between regular Cata and Cata-Chaos when Chaos felt a bit too hard due to the spawns..

Is there any way to fix this?

Thx upfront :)
Acamas  [developer] Aug 19, 2022 @ 8:39am 
Hi V4nd0l,

I'm happy you like the mod. Unfortunately, I have bad news about the quest. The regular version and the Chaos edition are not compatible. There are a few things that get messed up when you switch between them. One is the quest tracker. The reason is, that for some quests the player needs to kill a certain number of enemies. The quest mobs also spawn in increased numbers in the chaos edition, which is why the quest tracker is unable to follow the quest progress and stops working for all quests that have already started. (Different structure of the quest section in the save file)
If you have a backup of the character file somewhere, this would be a way to fix it. (Maybe Steam Cloud?) Otherwhise I don't know if it's possible to change the state of the quest somehow or recreate the character, since the TQ Defiler seems to not work properly anymore after Eternal Embers. :steamsad:
