Hey Ignasi, Ive just read through the patch notes and was hoping to find a fix for the issue on Isle of Siptah which causes maelstrom creatures to spawn constantly. Ive found as a temporary work around disabling the maelstrom helps with this but its obviously not ideal. I know this was on your list of known issues and was hoping that a fix would be applied in this update. Have you guys forgotten about it or is a fix still being worked on?

The update works great. Anyone knows where to find magi skul? I only find sorcerer skulls.

Pugilist · 2022-12-06T17:17:49.748Z

Encounters with a Sorcerer protected by a field/fence/etc. You kill the attendants, break the shield, kill the sorcerer and get a Magi skull from the end NPC.

Did they fix dynamic building damage? It’s been broken for months.

Dynamic Building Damage is broken again! PC Bug Reports

I run a PVP Server that is supposed to have Dynamic Building Damage Enabled during Weekends only. But Base Damage Disabled during weekdays. Okay! Problem is the setting doesn’t work at all! :UPDATE!! It’s the Scheduled Hours System that’s messing up the entire Base Damage thing! This definitely needs to be fixed The First picture i have the server set up to only allow building damage to online players on weekends! Problem is regardless if you’re online or offline. Everyone’s structures are imm…

So they withheld the cool armor sets so they could try and get more money out of us…I got last seasons battle pass but this one is god awful! 2 sets of the worst looking armors out of the new ones! so much floor paint and ONE TIME USE spells in a bottle? you guys are turning into a company who does not play their own game and it shows. I honestly think your trying to kill the game at this point. There is absolutely no way you guys thought the player base would be okay with is is there? Oh don’t forget your extra 10$ for more building items for a set I ALREADY PURCHASED… Predatory is the only word for this mess.

What does the fox say? :))

Well i agree some rewards are feels like low effort fillers (wall paints, potions and etc.).
Golden reaver helmet? Just reskin for basic one, still no1 ever using it (too big even for male chars).
To many lvl wasted again, some of bazaar stuff should be really BP (like wall ivy and maze).
And 10 usd for building set (not full) are still too much.
As you ask me - 5 usd is more reasonable.

In the same time i really like new armor sets (fox!), animal skins and decor (Acheronian set OP).

I think maybe it wasn’t broken. It just didn’t work how anyone expected. Now it works how people were expecting. . .

Maybe.

Double jump bug, no fixed.
Replacing T1 door frame and fence foundation with T3 bug, no fixed.
Crafting queue bug, no fixed.

Hello anyone cant join any server while using conan on xbox pass?

GodisGood · 2022-12-07T02:18:18.855Z

@Ignasi Hello Ignasi. I am curious what the team did with this patch that improved the performance so much. Previously I was not able to raise my shadows settings above low/medium.

I am currently able to raise my shadow settings to Cinematic and it has no negative impact on my FPS.

The game looks, and plays better all around, even with a settings (Shadows) that previously crippled my FPS.

Just curious, and pleased.

Thanks to whoever fixed that issue.

What is this ?!!! And why ?1

close to 80 gigabytes just omgg

It has to do with the way patches are handled in Steam. I’m pulling from memory from when I looked into it ages ago, but basically it goes through a sequence like this: Download patch data, create copy of your old files, extract and modify copied files, copy modified files to overwrite old files, delete copy.

Depending on how those game files are archived, it could result in a small patch messing around with huge amounts of data. For example, years back Path of Exile was basically stored in one big file. So even for a 1MB patch, the update process would still copy and extract that big file and would result in having to shuffle about 70GB worth of data around your hard drive.

I imagine the same principle is happening here, where for example 100MB worth of data in the patch needs to go into a file that is 2 or 3GB in size. And since the patch is modifying multiple files, they quickly add up to about 80GB worth of data that needs copied and moved around.

thank you for this well detailed text

Servian · 2022-12-07T05:08:25.282Z

Thought I’d see some new cool spells available in Chapter 2. Are there any?

Glurin · 2022-12-07T05:46:35.524Z

Thought I saw one possibility in the trailer, but nothing verified as far as I know.

Denversetti · 2022-12-07T06:59:46.900Z

there is no new spell (and never will be) until new age.
So chapters 2 and 3 - no new spells!!!
Everything you saw - updated versions of current ones.

I absolutely agree with you.
The new stormglass pieces should be free for those who own Siptah DLC.
