Bug Description:
Upon logging in, there was a big box over my game telling me I could only have 3 followers and it would delete a follower every minute till I only had 3. I had 21 followers and pets. It deleted 11 before I could change the settings to unlimited followers, it deleted all female followers even one that was level 12 and left lvl 0 pets. Deleted 4 four female dancers, one fighter and an archer. 1 male archer, 2 birds, 1 hyena and a croc. Everything was fine till logging in today. also lost all health bars on all. I died twice today from not being able to see health bars. First time it gave me back my stuff. Second time it didnt. I lost everything. Follwers will not stay where i place them today. When i leave and come back to my base, they are at their prior assigned locations, not new spots i gave them today. Did you guys send out a patch last night? No major problems till today. Now the game is hosed. All i did was log in. No changes from prior game play on my end…
I had the 21 followers for several in game days. And had played several real life days with the 21 followers, no problem. Why did the game, that day, decide 21 followers was too much? Also to tell me i could only have 3 followers max? I had changed nothing. My game has had default setup since the start.
I lost 11 thralls because it took me 10 mins to find the setting on follower limits. I had never looked at the settings.
Only thing i could deduct was something changed on their end.
Also to delete all female followers. Deletes a lvl 12 female thrall and leaves lvl 4 shaleback? You would think it would delete by levels starting with zero and work its way up.
A question. Anyone know the default follower limit? I couldn’t find an answer.
The invisible health bar seems to be a bug from several years back, kinda comes and goes from what i have read. Makes it very difficult for me to play not knowing the health of my thralls or the enemies.
Thank you for the info. 55 followers is alot. Never would have thought the number would be so high.
I guess my game is hosed. Now i can’t get anymore thralls cause they all die.
Can you have more than one save file?
Might try to start a new game and see if the problems follow me. Would hate to loose this game, I’m lvl 60 with 6 lvl15+ thralls. Alot of work to give up in case things get fixed.
Seeing it’s Single Player, make a list of all your pets and thralls, then delete your save from the console and cloud. Next, create a custom server, switch thrall decay and follower limit to off. Load up your brand new server, create your character, then go to the in game server settings > make me admin. Boost your character to 60, then spawn in all your pets and thralls with admin commands.
So only one save file. A shame as i have several bases too. Well seems to be decision time. Just wait and see if the health bar thing resolves itself (as that’s the main thing now)or start again.
Thanks for your time and info. You’ve been really helpful.
Not sure if Xbox saved games work similarly to PC, but maybe… Find your Conan saved game folder (on PC it’s in Conan Sandbox then Saved). You should have one active game.db (saved game) and a whole bunch of backups (e.g. game_backup_1.db, etc). If you haven’t played much past the point of losing those thralls, it’s possible one or more of those back ups may still have the thralls “alive” in it. If you change those follower limit settings (turn off the “use follower limits” setting, or whatever it’s called), then close the game, navigate to that saved game folder, rename that game.db file to something temporary (lost_thrall.db or something) then rename one of the back ups you think might work to game.db then fire up the game, it might work (it does work on PC, I just did it recently when a bug lost me some of my best levelled thralls). If that’s not possible on Xbox I’m sorry Sucks.
I’ve looked at files for the game before. I think xbox has only one .sav file. I’ll have to look again. I keep hoping the health bars will reappear. So I’ve been just building and leveling the thralls i have left.
For some reason, every new thrall i try gets killed. Wasn’t having that problem before.
If the thralls dying easily is since the 3.0 update, they are more squishy now, especially if you don’t have the right perks/enough points in Authority. Especially against poison.
Thralls aren’t dying. I cant knock out any new thralls. I kill everyone. Even using the highest trugent. They still get killed instead of knocking them out. I tried 7 times to get new thralls. But no luck. And i can’t see health bars, so i have no idea till they’re dead.
I’m so disappointed in this game. Thought a game that was several years old would be clean. Forked out over $100 to buy it and all dlcs. Now it’s basically unplayable. So many bugs.
Sound : death sounds happen seconds after the animation. Other sounds too like mining, walking, animal sounds. Losing everything on death. Not being able to interact with item (press x to ineract). Got killed again trying to interact with book in the dreggs after killing the boss. Really wanted that armor recipe. Can’t get it cause the pit fills with acid. Even tried going in god mode to get it, won’t let me have it.
Invisible enemies : had an invisible exploding imp run up to my thrall. Shaleback followers are invisible except for eyes.
Thralls : if you quit a game out in the world with a folower, when you come back in, they aren’t following you anymore. You have to have them follow you again. Thrall in the dreggs was a nightmare. Kept getting stuck everywhere.
None of these are setting problems. Nothing has changed but thrall limits.
Game was good, minus little sound rhings till that one day.
Oh, whoever checked this as solved is wrong! The problem is NOT solved.
Place an advanced kit on the truncheon. It will help, but you shouldn’t be killing them. Are you playing online or single player?
And yeah, the game is filled with insufferable bugs. Let’s hope they fix it. At least, that it gets as good as it was pre 3.0.
This game is awesome, but its current state is terrible. I hope the next patch brings improvements. Otherwise I’ll probably unistall it, something that pains me dearly.
OP is playing single player. Xbox has only the one save which is backed up to the cloud. I already provided the easiest solution to their problem in an earlier post
Sucks.
