Resolved Beta 1.3 228342 HF 5/6 Game freezes without crash when initiating pre-battle dialogue with enemy lord. (Update)

[Ananda_The_Destroyer]

Summary: When trying to select the initial dialogue after encountering an enemy lord the game freezes, it does not crash or give any error message, just freezes indefinitely with mouse still movable and must be shut down via task manager. Possible contributor may be the message of another enemy lord besieging Chakaind at the approximate instant of engaging /catching enemy lord Patyr, or the games processing of both these events at about the same moment. My workaround will be to attack the other lord before Patyr, but I feel I should report this as I have not had this problem before.

EDIT: IT'S JUST PATYR, destroying the other lord first doesn't help, nor does chasing him to a different area of the map. Every time I engage him on the map and go to choose "I am player character, who are you?" it freezes. Game save basically derailed because I must defeat him or he will take my towns.

How to Reproduce: Load my game (started in beta 1.2) and move from newly conquered Town Chakaind to attack nearby enemy lord Patyr and try to select "I am player character, who are you?", does not happen if I engage a different nearby enemy lord (Chakaind does not get besieged if I do so, could be related).

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. I have informed the devs about the issue and i am sure it will be fixed as soon as possible.

Update: It still freezes in the same on both e1.3 and beta 1.4 + hot fix
Additional information: Patyr is the leader and only survivor of the southern empire, which in turn is the only empire faction remaining. Don't know if this could be a part of the problem.

I wanted to say in case anyone else reads this and has a similar problem I found a difficult workaround: By waiting in my town for Patyr and friends to siege it and choosing to Sally out I was able to fight him without the encounter dialogue, so I took this chance to capture and execute him. This was a very sub optimal play of course and required waiting to allow him to recruit other clans before he would attempt it.

I'm keeping a save file from before in case it is needed.

Having same issue now with Melidir, who is now the ruler of the Southern Empire, so perhaps it's related.
Update: Issue persist after completing the "form independent Kingdom" quest which puts your new Kingdom at peace with all faction, engaging Melidir at peace freezes in the same way when selecting a dialogue option. EDIT: to be clear it persist both as an independent clan and a kingdom ruler.
Update: Persist when Eldith is the ruler of S empire so certainly some connection to ruler of last empire.

Hello, i will add something to this bug.

I have same problem as AnandaShanti. I can say it is related to the lord who has a lot cities and castles. The dialogue can not calculate and show lord's cities and castles to our hero.

Note to the developer: The dialogue section starting to show Lord's cities and castles. I have checked something in documents like sandbox docs so i can predict that could be related to dialogue variable of cities and castles which are owned by lord. Just change the dialogue from collection to string array or limit the cities and castles collection. (relation: out of memory error)

Thanks

That's a great point and explanation! It never happened until after wiping out several factions caused all the land to be automatically given to a faction and thus it's leader took most of it. I took out 5 factions before this happened with Patyr being the owner of most of the Khuzait, Aiseri, sturgian and empire lands.

I've tried this mod and it let me by pass the problem by skipping dialogue before battle:

I'd prefer not to use mods in the beta builds but I felt kinda stuck.

Hello, sorry for the late reply. I am glad you have found a workaround, do you have a save file that we can reproduce the problem and before the modding? If so please share it with us by posting it under this thread or sending it to me directly.

 

[Ananda_The_Destroyer]

Okay here's a save where you can see Patyr to west near the bridge, talk to him before battle to freeze the game.

This is the same save I sent with wetransfer but I'm not sure it worked.

Thank you for the additional info. I have forwarded the file to the devs for investigation.
