Resolved 1.5.8 beta - NPCs (wanderers/Arzagos/Istiana) disappear from game started on 1.5.7 - Save Game Breaking

[redmark]

Game started on 1.5.7 beta. After upgrading, on loading a new (1.5.8 ) save, some NPCs disappear, if you have not previously interacted with them. This includes main quest NPC's Istiana and Arzagos, and a significant number of wanderers.

1.5.7 save immediately before upgrading: 'pre158.sav'

Note Istiona the Healer in dropdown.

Istiana is in Epicrotea:

Two and half pages of wanderers - 1st page:

1.5.8 save (pre158.sav loaded in 1.5.8 and immediately saved - no game time passed): 'post.158'

Istiona the Healer no longer appears.

Istiana is not in Epicrotea (been there, checked main town screen, keep, tavern, streets, even her house - door can't be opened).

A page full of wanderers have disappeared.

As far as I can remember, the 'surviving' wanderers are all ones I have seen in towns (including all 7 I had recruited), if that turns out to be relevant.

It's happening if you start a new game in 1.5.8 as well.

Save files already uploaded with thread URL in description (pre158.sav and post158.sav).

I tried searching with the URL, your username and the save file names but i was not able to find them. Can you upload them again? Maybe there was an issue with the system when you were uploading.

 

[redmark]

Done.

 

[Drahtos]

I have to add, that the wanderers will dissapear in a fresh 1.58 start as well. It happend after reloading the game.

 

[MArdA TaleWorlds]

Got the files, forwarded to the team. Thanks a lot!

Is there any temporary fix to this right now such as reloading a save or no?

To my knowledge no, but I am sure they will have a patch out by Monday knowing how on top of it they are.

Confirmed still happening post 10/02 hotfix (I know, the hotfix notes didn't claim to have fixed it - just for info).

Looking at the names (and this is a different game from the OP), wanderers who have disappeared seem to be pretty random (except that those recruited don't disappear) - not depending on whether I've interacted with them before.

1.5.7 save:

Loading into 1.5.8 hotfixed:

My game is down to 8 wanderers, I hope some are left when get my next clan tier

I started a new game and I only have 4 wanderers the rest can't be found... I am sure more will span in.

This is a bad glitch. I have three campaigns started in 1.5.8 and all of them have the wanderer problem.

I had this problem too and since the hotifx it was partially fixed in the sense of some of the wanderers were back but there was a lot less then normal still, are all of your still gone from the game?

Yes, I think I have like 8 wanders and only 4 I can actually get, the others say "NEVER SEEM BEFORE."

 

[Gadheras]

Only 7 wanderers in my game, and 4 of them in my party. The last one I recruited came with all his skills and attributes reset and had to be re-applied.

Noted on 1.5.8 beta too. All my companions dissapeared.

Happens in Beta 1.5.8 with all my saves, either ported 1.5.7 ones or new and fresh 1.5.8 campaign. Not able to reproduce how they go missing, but even heroes in my clan disappeared (left hero in Town to bolster relations) and a few days later, he was gone. Never found him again, no encyclopedia entry, my companion-slots went from 5/6 to 4/6 like he never existed...

Any news from this bug? i can deal with the other graphical bug which starts to fail-load some icons from the inventory, but i cant even play this game if my potential followers start to dissapear. At least make sure you can bring them all back after playing the game! because it would be a pain in the butt spending some hours on this game to find out you cant bring them back and start over again...
