Resolved companion party role bug

[amaromarn]

i dont believe i have a save file for this unfortunately. if the player selects their scout (and i assume other roles) to become a caravan leader the companion continues to occupy the party role (unsure if the buffs are applied) preventing you from selecting a new companion to that role. taking the companion back to the party later does allow you to change their role as normal. i did not test if i would have been able to track down the companions caravan to remove his role via dialogue.

unfortunately i don't think i have a save file but i doubt this is an intermittent bug but rather a situational one. If i didn't have that massive visual glitch issue id go recreate a save file for you all but as it stands it should be easy to replicate with the steps listed above off any save file you have. simply create a caravan via any merchant (i used the upgraded caravan tho that shouldn't be different if coded correctly) and make a companion who currently holds a role such as scout to lead the caravan then try to select a new scout.

edit: i see that a patch today has potentially fixed the issue with visuals i will see if i cant go recreate this issue and send you a file to save yall some time.

 

[amaromarn]

bug recreated file sent.
edit: i would recommend that the fix attempt to catch all other potential similar bugs by running a check any time a companion leaves the party for any reason. not sure how this plays around other potential sites like governor dispatched companion for quests death etc. further for dispatched companion an additional QOL improvement to give them the role back when they return if you havnt filled it again in the meantime.

@MArdA TaleWorlds any update on this i sent the file in with the bug already in effect. just try to assign one of the remaining companions to be scout and notice that it cant be selected from the party screen despite not currently having a scout. the companion who dosnt have "the wastes" was my scout before i made him caravan.

Technically I dont know why you ask for a savefile for this one, this is a known issue by know or should be.

The solution atm is to talk to another party member directly in dialouge and then assign them the role that you want filled.
Should also work if you on the party menu select yourself as it(the option should be there for all slots for you, but this one is abit grey in my memory).

But again you should be able to resolve it if you talk directly to partymembers.

So say you have "The wastes" as you said now being the caravanmaster, you then talk to say "the swift" in your party and assign her the role instead.(again you have to talk to the npc, the option on the party menu to choose it is as you say not there).

yes im aware but its not on their list of in-progress bugs as far as i can tell. just because their may be workarounds doesn't mean its not embarrassing to miss something like this in the initial design. i didnt test exhaustively but i definitely couldn't set someone to the role while in chat w/ them the one time i tried.

I wasnt refering to you(Amaromarn) as it being a known issue but to Marda.(maybe its abit douche of me to do).

Then again for all I know they still need more data, and thats why Marda asked you to ship over the file(so then its my bad).
Otherwize if they dont need to collect more data, it could be pointed out "we are aware of the issue and are working on a solution with no ETA".

So I may have jumped to conclusions abit earlier, in regards to sending the file, but at least it should be pointed out that its "a known issue"(for what thats worth).

As for the workaround, is the issue "resolved on your end?" or didnt the talk to another party member and assign them work?

I tried on my end, and for me it worked?
As in I assigned scout to party member, then I made him caravan, then the scout couldnt be selected by other partymembers.
Talked to a partymember in chat, and assigned them the role. Worked fine.

Find someone else in the party, click on them, clikc the tiny "chat" icon - speak to them - assign role - fixed.
Should that not work on your end, then your def bugged, as that should work.

 

[amaromarn]

no ik im ribbing them over this one. they just slapped my post w/ an automated response to send them a file when i layed out exactly step by step how to reproduce the bug. and my post even said i didnt have a save file for it.

I'm suppressed this isn't in known issues, it's certainly a popular compliant lol. It needs to changed so you can ALWAYS change your party roles from the menu, not if and or butts about it.

 

[MArdA TaleWorlds]

Sorry i was away this Friday. I was not able to find the save file can you directly send it to me? [email protected]

 

[MArdA TaleWorlds]

Got the file. Forwarded to QA. Thanks!

 

[MArdA TaleWorlds]

I've been informed that this issue has been fixed on 1.5.6. Can you try to reproduce this issue on a new, fresh campaign?

What do you mean by fixed? as in you are able to fix by doing the steps I put out(if so that workaround do work fine).

As for it being fixed allowing you to choose another partymember directly in the party in clan menu when original assigned isnt in the party with the current role have left as the op pointed out by leading caravan etc - then no, thats not fixed on my end atleast.(this is a pretty mouthful and bad english, but its not my native language so I cant always get it expressed properely perhaps).

I think what "we want" is that when a party member leaves their assigned role should automagically be reset, so we the players can choose other members to fill the role.(and not have to speak to them directly in the partychat and thus override it).

 

[amaromarn]

i literally sent you the file after making that bug in the 1.5.8 beta. i can start a fresh campaign to see if its tied to the campaign save file and not the game data. try having them follow the step by step instructions ive given atleast twice now as to how to find the bug. second file incoming shortly.
edit1:tbh im not sure i owned the game before 1.5.6
edit 2:can confirm i didnt purchase the game until January 28. thus the earliest possible campaign is after the version at which your QA team claims the bug was fixed.

 

[MArdA TaleWorlds]

It turns out I got confused with the messages that I received from QA. But this same issue got fixed back on 1.5.6. IT might have resurfaced. We are taking a look again.

I have a similar issue that I feel may be related to this post and maybe even the brother role issue from another thread.

I am running 1.5.8.263183 - Single Player - Campaign. I was hoping I could get a bug check I seem to have encountered.
Have saved sister (In Party), I assigned her the Engineer Role. I then married said sister to another lord. Sister Leaves party. Can not longer assign the Engineer role to anyone via the Clan Screen. I am not sure if this is just my install, or a potential bug. Thank you.

Sounds like a similar - since she have left the party(to another clan, but the core is left the party and thus cant be assigned on the party menu).
Workaround is to talk to partymembers and assign someone else the role, then its cleared out(and you can assign it to yourself or none etc).

Thank you kind sir! I did as you suggested and it did indeed resolve the issue.
