(Updated 30 October) Age of Heroes Known Issues

Hotfix on the way; ETA first full week of November

We have a hotfix going through cert right now and hope to have it by next week, so between Nov 4 - 8.

Living Settlements temporarily disabled on Official servers

We are temporarily disabling the Living Settlements feature on Official servers until we can resolve issues surrounding workers.

For more information, please check this post:


Barkeepers missing after the update

We are aware of your reports of barkeepers no longer being present after the Age of Heroes update - we have confirmed the issue, indeed meaning barkeepers you had prior to the update have gone missing and must be re-acquired.

We apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause you, as we realize Barkeepers were not exactly trivial to obtain. While we understand this doesn’t replace any time lost, if it is any consolation whatsoever, Barkeepers can now also be found and rescued within large camps across the Exiled Lands and not just from a Purge anymore.

Thanks for reading, and we apologize once again for any trouble caused. We’ll keep you updated, and we hope you’re otherwise having a blast with Age of Heroes!


Workaround for server owners

Private server owners may wish to check out this post by @learuis, as the barkeeper’s file location did change and was the cause of this issue. You may be able to run a query on your server to alleviate the issue on your end:


Workers going missing (ending up at 0,0,0)

We’re also aware of reports of workers seemingly disappearing from your base after placement on a station. Additional information shows characters are getting transported to (0,0,0) on the map, as seen here:


“View Obstructed” Issue

Some Exiles report difficulty building things due to an error message saying their view is obstructed, but for no apparent reason. This is something we’re looking into and investigating.


Freya Questline not advancing(?)

We’ve seen scattered reports of inconsistencies or confusion regarding Freya’s questline, particularly “returning home” and dealing with boars. We are looking into this as well, and if you encountered an issue with this questline, please let us know.


Poisoned workers

One of the first things we saw reports of were your workers somehow showing as Poisoned periodically, without explanation. We now know this is caused by an incorrect debuff being applied relating to the new ambient life and Needs system, and will be fixed.

I’m 6 cages deep and have yet to free a barkeep. Already tired of traversing the map for something I’d already worked for.

And I mean this is after my EDGESMITH vanished and subsequently dropped from my follower list altogether.

We are NOT just missing barkeeps. We are losing crafters we FARMED.

Hey there, just wanted to let you know I did see your other topic about this and am looking into it now. Thanks for the report and for your patience!

I wish I had better news to offer, but I absolutely empathize. It sucks to lose anything, moreso something that takes investment, and especially if it’s out of your hands.

I appreciate your responses. It helps to at least feel heard and seen. I’m a die hard exile and have been for years, but sometimes it’s rough :sweat_smile:

nothing to be happy about, you guys broke my settlement from a busy place with my inventory thralls, to a ghost town with this “lively” system , which makes settlements empty husks./

FALLING thru foundations and building pieces is still happening! WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO PRIOTIZE IT? its been a YEAR!! common!!!

why the settlement system makes my base deserted? like a ghost town? why are you guys not paying attention to dozens of topics cretead on forums showing this issue? and yet again you pushed the update so we now have empty bases? thralls AI getting worse, Getting stuck, crashing, and of course performance issues?

The barkeeps sell spirits. Why shouldn’t they vanish into thin air just as them…? :ghost:

4 smoothly gaming hours on the first day of update means just one thing. You are in the correct direction! Keep it up, congratulations!

This is actually quite a poor reaction, tbh

I am really sorry, i really am. You have to understand that i know what nightmare is. When age of sorcery dropped i was on ps4. Every ten minutes crash!!! I was spending more time to retrieve my loot than anything else :rofl::rofl::rofl:.
So trust me, i know pretty well my friend.
Again i am sorry, i just write down my experience with the update , that’s all!

So far I haven’t found anything in the update that makes it worth the loss of thralls. Having a few thralls wandering around just isn’t a great improvement, and certainly doesn’t compensate for the losses.

Meanwhile, purge is still broken: can’t generate any anymore because they can’t/won’t find a way to set up camp or find a path to coffer, despite having done so in the past.

What exactly does the update offer?

So far as I can tell the new companions are unavailable on Siptah, so zero benefits accompany the update, just losses.

So far as I am concerned, this update is an utter fail.

And STILL falling through floors!

Sometime you have to understand this. This is not an issue for this update, this is issues that is repeatable just different things that get fuked up everytime you release an new chapter or update. It’s time to learn. And i really hope people consider uninstalling the game after all this f ups. It never ends.

Well, tried to get purges going around 60 times. Didn’t find a camp location, in 2 different spots.
Opened 15 cages, not a single barkeep.
Are you sure you didn’t completely take them out of the game? :smiley:
