That sucks, now i can restart once more since the fixes are to big to ignore it.
O well nice to know that there is patch sooner then later. |

this dosent work for me... "Greedy" achievement counter now displays the amount of gold earned correctly*
I have restart steam etc :( |
It's one of the "This change will be applied only after starting a new game because this data is stored in a save file." So it won't apply to games in progress.

Thanks for fixing it but still arggh - restart really? The odds that the equipment drops will be anywhere near as good ...
|
Quote:
Instead, it seems something went horribly wrong when this was being made. I dunno. Maybe the Katauri was attacked by Gremlins before release. |
It is good to know that they are working on it. I guess if we're patient, the game will be much more playable in like a month or so. There are plenty of other stuff to waste some time with anyway :)
|
I've updated the bug thread to the best of my ability to include fixes. If anyone finds things that are still listed which are fixed, please post in the bug thread and I'll updae the list.
I don't feel like starting over right now and they aren't very detailed on some of the fixes so your help is appreciated. Also: Thanks for the patch. :) |
Is there no possibility to edit/fix the savegame in order for it to reflect the patch changes? It is completely ridiculous to abandon my game now because quests won't work later, I've worked a lot on the character.
|
man most of these so called buf fixes were already fixed by modders lol
and they even did it way faster xD oh well at least a patch showed up ty for that |
I'm not that far in the game yet. Is it possible that these bugs don't apply to me? Or does every player have them?
|
I have decided to just let the game sit still for a while until most bugs have been fixed. I'll just go play Red Sands, as I've never tried that before.
I'm glad for the patch, but those asterisked ones are a little annoying. |
I won't restart for those changes.
|
So let me get this straight... I'm not even off the first island - will I have to restart to get these fixes even when I have yet to even encounter most of these issues?
Please say no. |

Hmm, this should also mean there is a finite number of versions of the game, based on a seed. It'd be cool to be able to choose, and share game seeds. |
Well, crap. And I had just started over to catch some of the quests I'd missed the first time around.:(
Oh, well. It'll be worth it to take advantage of the patch. I guess. |
i won't restart now ...
i'll finish first playthrough then i'll restart with new class :P |
the old games actually had WORSE bugs... your save files could easily become corrupted but then you wouldn't find out for like 10hours and you'd have to reload an old save that was like days or weeks old... as all the newer ones would be utterly corrupted... it was horrible and they eventually released a uncorruptor of saves tool?
so yeah warriors of the north has a lot of typo grade bugs and a lot of abilities they dont' work right.... but the game is more playable than any of the previous ones!! |
Quote:
|
before this update was the travel time between islands too high?
because compared to my crossworld playthrough I've used twice as many days of time to reach a similar level with my hero... or was it too low and days are just supposed to go by faster in this game? |
Quote:
Once patched I'd like to start a new game to take advantage of the new stuff, but I'm relatively time-poor (job,family,kids,etc) so am apprehensive to restart unless I'm 100% sure I've got the latest version (note that for various reasons, I don't necessarily trust my steam client with this.) Thanks |
Regina is applying the bonus without restarting for me.
|
Some things are hard-coded, and some things are saved as the game is created. It is very hard to find a difference, or completely separate the two. Since KB is usually 90% created as the game starts (the other 10% are game mechanics) almost anything which is story-based and had a patch doing alterations on it would have been irrevocably changed.
|
@anybody who restarted, let me know if autobattle is using rage abilities and if the maidens call of valhalla is working or not. Not sure how/if to list those bugs. thanks!
|
I restarted and no, rage is still not triggering in auto combat. Now, this is only with the Olaf rage skill at the moment. I was waiting to say something if it still didn't work once I got my first Valkyrie.
|
Okay, let me know. I'll update the bugs so they know Olaf won't use his personal rage skills.
|
You got it.
|
Rage skills are definitely not working on auto.

bug fixed?
well i read the "ice dragon" bug was fixed but not for me. each time and it doesn't matter if i try to kill it first or save it for last and no matter which of the 3 i am trying to fight, the game crashes immediately. funny i read the greedy achievement won't unlock for games in progress cuz for me it did. i had enough of waiting so i activated the console by shift °, entered 9 mil, and got it. as for quest bugs i can live with a cpl of side quests remaining unsolved who cares. i cannot live with a quest bug that prevents me from finishing the game and i simply refuse starting a new game after 70 hours of gameplay and almost level 70. sorry, no. get it fixed i paid you, 1c. seriously, i am tired of badly tested games. you should not pay your beta testers cuz they've failed.
|
Can you upload your game where killing the Ice Dragon is causing a crash? And preferably give me an attack order that guaruntees (at least on your end) the crash taking place? I've been unable to duplicate the crash locally.
|
Quote:
oh i get it. well it really doesnt matter who of my army is trying to kill the ice dragon. i had the slingers and the soothsayers try it and as soon as i tried to click on the ice dragon it crashed. tried this about 10 times with different units, different kills, different kill order etc etc. it seems to be caused by the character ice dragon itself, right? |
No, the actual save files. Just zip up the specific save directory - you can find them at:
C:\Users\<yourname>\Documents\My Games\Kings Bounty Warriors of the North\$save\addon |
ok where to?
Quote:
oh yea and it may not be a good timing but i already have all my valkyries on level 5 but only the last one is shown in the achievements list at level 5. was this a bug fix? |
Yeah, for some reason you're not allowed to attach files to PMs. You can just attach it to a post in this thread tho', and I can download it here.
|
doesnt work

You can make zip files with 7z as a fyi. ;)
Unfortunately I can't make the game crash with your save. I've tried various ways and times of killing the Ice Dragons and they properly die every time. Have you updated to the latest patch? Does it crash for you any time they die, or only under specific circumstances? |
Quote:
|
I am starting to think the animation crashes are tied to certain sets of videocard and driver versions. I haven't seen a crash with any of the animations so far (though I used to get them in KBAP with my old PC) and I have a Radeon Sapphire 7950 with latest drivers. What do you have ae_LON (and RCDOWN, if you're reading)?
|
Not a grafix prob
Quote:
-- Attack.log(dmgts, "add_blog_ice_dragon_death_2", "name"," "..blog_side_unit(0), "special", mana_count) the quest does not count the dead ice dragons anymore. So I am basically just as pucked as before. Thanks for your concerns. edit: Very sure now that the specs in the .lua causes the crash because I have just changed it back to its original coding and it crashes as soon as i try to kill the ice dragon. It takes a hit, loses some points but the final death blow causes the crash, tried different attacks. I am no coding, modding pro, I'd really appreciate a pro to check this out and maybe advlse. I play on steam and the patches are executed automatically. Thanks. |
Is the steam patch compatible with the unofficial bug fixes? Because I see stuff in the fix which is not fixed in the official patch.
|
The Steam patch is the only thing compatible with the unofficial fixes (or, rather, the unofficial fixes are compatible with the Steam patch) - if you haven't got the Steam patch for some reason, trying to use the unofficial fixes will just result in more problems.
|
Quote:
If you are having problems, I recommend deleting everything in your addon folder with a LUA extension. Then run the game to be sure it's patched. After that, you can put in any unofficial fixes that you want. The way it works is the game looks in the addons folder for overrides. So we took a copy of a patched file that still has a problem and we fixed it. When you put it in your addon folder you are telling the game to use the fixed file instead. To revert, just delete the fixed file from in your addon folder. Edit: If you can't use the steam patch for whatever reason, you cannot use the unofficial fixes. You'll have to roll back (delete them all) and see the bug fixes thread for manual instructions on how to implement what you want. |
Quote:
|
Well, i deleted the whole file (ses.kfs), steam replaced it and the crash still occurs as soon as the ice dragon reveives the final blow. This sucks.
|
Do you have any .lua files outside of the ses.kfs file?
|
Quote:
|
Well, as at least a temporary fix, you could follow the instructions listed in this post, apparently it's been helpful for some people suffering from the bug. I just wish it was affecting everyone, it'd be easier to diagnose and fix.
|
Quote:
|
meh, sorry, i already used that one. It's altering the line but that does help except for the quest when you have to kill 3 of them for the dwarven king. By altering the second line the quest does not count the kills anymore and therefore no game progress. Thanks, tho.
|
Ok, I found out what the problem was (found a way to trigger it, not sure why it wasn't always triggering). Going to add it to the bugfix pack now.
|
Quote:
Well, thank you for your support and help, much appreciated! |
Little follow-up. Finished the game on impossible, didn't get the achievement on steam. I was wondering the whole time why none of the players who own this title on steam have accomplished this achievement. probably just like me, didn't get it. this game need some serious work. Really, why would I buy the next title expecting the same difficulties? If I was processing my work the developers did on this title I would have been fired ages ago.

Woot. Thank you!
|
The update is not shown in the Steam update history ?
Since i downloaded the game today i would like to know, if in fact, the updates are in the game files before starting a game (different game build?). Can anyone help with this ? Thank you. |

it sucks hard that you need to restart everytime to make certain fixes available.
A BAD case of programming. |
Some things are fixed in a random generator that only starts each new game. It makes sense in a way that you can't cheat to reload mid-game to revisit certain shops to find the creature / spells you want.
For bugfixes mid-game it's a nightmare though. |
So can I finally start playing the game I bought almost a week ago or will I have to wait even longer before being able to play it without being forced to restart it as soon as a patch comes out?...
|
Quote:
|
And I can tell you that killing the ice dragons no longer crashes the game. YAY!!! I'll have to go back and get rid of the two I left behind now.
|
this sucks
Going back to torchlight 2 till this bs is finally fixed :evil::evil:
|
I desire to get playing but I really don't want to restart because bugfixes don't apply to saved games. I just hope devs fix most bugs fast so I can start.
|
I didn't see anything downloaded when I started the game ...?

Can we seriously get some build numbers here? What's the latest build number? I just hear magical patches with incomplete listings with little detail, so I really don't know if I am on the latest one despite being on steam. Some things are fixed, some aren't, some were fixed by the community, some weren't. :)
Is this ver 1.31 build 6246? Thanks! |

awes0me
keep them coming |
Anyone else having problems with inventory after the patch? The "big view" will not scroll for me. Also, rage skills doesn't do any damage and pauses the battle afterwards.
Both of these happened with pre-patch saves after the patch. |
Some more lovely "Start a new game fixes". I feel dirty for having bought this bug filled game
|
I've restarted the game so often I've never been to Demonis. Why is the game logic kept in the save files anyway?

My rage skills work, though I had a slowdown with Regina's messenger when fighting on a volanic-style map. I was hoping the Book of Evil's "Drain" talent was fixed, but what actually happens for me is it has -100/0 charges and says it has the same effect it did before (can't test it though). Not only that, but why can't it just hurt the troop instead of devouring the whole thing? Is getting 2 more spells really worth destroying an entire stack? Needs redone, imo. |
I dont know if that problem was post here but i can't kill ice dragon. Game crash allways when i kill whole squad of them in every islands. No matter if i use the magic(trap) rage skills or my soliders
|
Quote:
edit: Great, build 6249 is out and supposedly now it requires yet another restart? This is getting out of hand. (I think this is Patch 3). But what annoys me is that some of those "need to restart" quests have work arounds. I was able to complete the Cabin Boy Mission and a couple of other missions that supposedly needed a restart. I was able to beat the Odin Banner Mission as well and I think the Bear Hunt one? Was not able to beat Luckless Hunter though. Ugh. Without the fine detail of what was fixed, it is hard to make that judgement call. |
The new patch appears to have broken things that weren't broken before. Check out the postings on the Steam forums for examples. They turned around and fixed something after today's patch, but it still has issues.
Also, I really, really, really don't want to start the game over from scratch just so I can finish some quests. Like a lot of people who play this kind of game, part of the fun is doing all the quests in the 1st place. I suspect "completionists" like myself are not in the minority, either. |
Quote:
I'm still considering to start over since I really like the Luckless Hunter mission. I should check what item it gives though hmmm. edit: actually it only gives me a Yew Bow. That would have been useful for my Warrior build, but not for my Soothsayer build. Maybe I should continue my old saved game then! :) OH god, the pygmy bug is insane. I didn't even see what was wrong with it to begin with. :( Also, Avenging Angel is making it so ALL enemies only do 1 point of damage to me. Is this intended? |
Quote:
|
I played the new build tonight, but want to keep comments over at the other sticky (bugs) thread so this thread doesn't become duplicative re bugs.
|
If you don't want to restart each time they apply a patch don't restart until they've had most bugs fixed.
There will be more bug fixes you can count on that. |
Wake me on Spring 2013 when all bugs will be fixed.

Thankfully the replayability in KB is good

must be me, but where do i see those changes? cant find those new ones anywhere on steam.

Quote:
As for Announcements, they only refer to the 1st patch on Nov 2nd. But if you go to the Game Hub section, you will see the more recent patches noted. |
Quote:
A the game hub section, thnx ! |
Quote:
I only noticed any change at all in two cases: -Sacrifice got a slight tooltip update, when you select the troop to reinforce it shows both the damage done to the victim and the troops added -Pygmy, as others have noted, is now bugged and reduces health to 1. Edit: -think I figured out the change to Plague. Seems like it didn't spread to nearby units, at least not nearly as often as it does now. -I recall something about Gift actually using a Defense rune instead of Luck, think that's the fix there. Could be something similar for Negation. |
Quote:
I did the same thing. And to be frank, the reason I am madder then usual is that this is NOT a new game. About 75% of it is the same, and it is the same engine, as the previous 3 games. There should NOT be this many bugs. Well, unless 1C fired all the previous game's programmers and replaced them with random people they hired on the street. Who knows... in Russia, anything can happen. Maybe they are paid in vodka? |
Quote:
They added a lot of new things but I guess their code was not that modular and it caused a lot of grief (e.g. cold damage type). Old fixes were not retroactively applied due to the new direction for the game (notice, rune mages are completely revised, a lot of little differences that seem more retroactive, like archdemons going back to 666 etc). They probably found the problems to most of the quest code, but it required them to go back a lot, so they ended up breaking stuff. Just my hypothesis! |
Quote:
Can we get this posted on the TOP, so everyone can see which patches fix what. Also, I found out the hard way that apparently Start Game, Build 6246, Current Build 6429 results in FAILURE to complete the Heir to the Throne mission. Oddly enough whatever initial release build was + build 6426 allowed me to finish that mission. :( |
