Please report any bugs you find in the game here.

Please make sure that:

I will make sure your reports make their way to the devs.

The "hide interface" and "screenshot" functions are both actually and simultaneously mapped to F12, even though the keybinding menu shows them as F12 and PrtScrn, respectively.

When i created all my characters and realised i forgot to name them, when i went to change the 2nd, 3rd or 4th party member's name it would also change the first party member's name.

Just a little bug, nothing big.

P.S. what's the key combination to unlock the game if you're stuck in a battle? I've only had it happen once so far (probably because i was spamming the attack keys for a while and it blocked the animations).

It's Ctrl + Alt + R. But we were pretty sure we had fixed this for good Looks like this bug likes to play hide-and-seek...

Are you sure you just didn't forget to push enter? I switched a few times around without pushing enter and it (as it has done for the other games) just resorted back to the default game.

Though, if that is not the case, then I believe you. That enter character creation interface button seemed to be a bit squeaky when it came to switching between multiple characters in your party for creation. Sometimes the continue button would disappear (or grey out) if you switched between characters a lot, so you would have to back up and come back in in order to continue.

At the tooltip of the Light Spell "Radiant Weapon" says that the target also cannot block for a X turn(s) (with my skills currently is "this turn"), but I've noticed that at some enemies (f.e. elite militia, or the naga like creatures) the enemie blocked my melee attacks even after the spell was successfull (at the same turn). I dunno if this is a bug or some enemies are immune to such effect, but seems like a bug to me.

While fighting the spiders in the well I got stuck in battle as well. It was right at the smuggler's dock when 2 spiders show up behind the group a few squares away.

Also I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when I enter or exit merchant houses there is no greeting, just silence. Is that how it was supposed to be?
Also there is no soundtrack in the background...
Is there a problem with my sound or is this how the game is supposed to be.

When party member gets disabled (i.e. stunned/unconscious), EXP do not get properly redistributed. If a guard dies and 4 party members are active, you get 20xp each person. If only 2 paries members are active, you still get 20xp each. Very annoying.

I think you might be using a 32bit Operating System. Because of the RAM limitation on such OSes, we had to put a cap on texture quality and limit the sound effects. You can find more details here.

I didn't think that was a bug; I thought that was by design (and it's one of which I approve).

If you approve such a design, then I'd be interested in the reasoning behind it.

AFAIK, the far majority of party-based games (including MM6-9, possible the ones before too) receive combat XP as a fixed value to be divided among non-incapacitated party members. There are rare cases when XP is given to everyone in the party at fixed value, but they are usually applied regardless of whether or not the party members are active (unless the slot is empty).

And that's why people loved so much to play solo character: more experience.

[Bandobras Took]

Because a fixed amount of XP divided among all active players essentially punishes you for having a party. Soloing becomes much more of a challenge if you don't receive four times the XP for doing it.

Soloing is a challenge already with the 4x the amount of experience for many reasons.

And to put things into perspective, the far majority of people would not be soloing. They'd be playing the game as it was intended to be played - With 4 party members.

Let us suppose there is a very real need to curb down on those soloers, then I am pretty sure it'd be just a small matter to normalize the amount of experience by the amount of people in the party defined at the start. It should all be very... very.. easy to implement.

Thanks for the info Marzhin. I had a look at the technical help however it does not apply to me.
I've got Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit with 16 GB RAM. It's a high spec machine. It surpasses the recommended requirements.
I'll keep digging maybe there is some sort of software incompatibility that is causing this.
At least I know there should be some sort of sound

Coldy before you venture further try to update DirectX.

As non-owner I cannot confirm which version is used but in case of DirectX 9.0c, you will find them here. And for sure on the game DVD.

[Variol]

I'm sure it updated automatically on install.

The merchant wagon has disappeared:



Castle Portmeyron has disappeared as well:



Oh, can we please get rid of the "confirm" button? I'm clicking on save or load, that's pretty confirming.

[Variol]

Now the game won't launch and I'm supposed to do this:


Not impressed.

[Arret]

When you buy extra potions, the potion count on your character ability toolbar does not change. This happens even if you only have 1 type of potion.

Start with 7, buy 30, toolbar still says 7 instead of saying 37. It is fixed if you re-drag the potions to the toolbar, but gets annoying if you have to do it for all characters.

[Lord13]

If I understand correctly the game auto-updates through u-play when u start it? I saw some minor bugs fixed (that's good ofc!) but would be lovely to have a change - log (patch notes) to know the changes. Btw, the game is great so far
