Resolved Wife/party member appearing twice in battles.

[Doofus]

http://prntscr.com/s8ayoi Tried doing screenshot with F12, but don't know where to find it. In any case, I just started the game back up from a save a short while ago & noticed my wife (Sora) shows up as two entities in battle. First time I noted was a hideout attack where she showed up twice in the battle. Although I didn't screenshot this, I literally saw two of her in the battle. She also showed up in the post battle stats as having 2 of her in battle. The second time was a battle against looters, which is the screenshot included. She shows up on the post-battle report twice. Not really a big deal considering all the other problems out there, but I thought I'd report it anyways.

Oh. I meant to mention that she does not show up twice on my general party (P) list.

Forwarding this issue to the QA team for further investigation. Thanks for reporting. In the meantime, can you share your save files? You can use a cloud service and post an open link on this thread.

 

[Doofus]

Sorry. While I wouldn't mind sharing the files and I'm pretty sure I can find them, I'm not very computer savvy and would have no idea how to upload and save them to a cloud service. As additional information, I will say that I played for a number of hours and through many battles last night. I checked the stats after most battles and she was listed twice in each and I checked at the start of 2 or 3 battles of varying sizes and found her twice, usually lined up near or next to herself. I haven't signed in since, but will likely sign in shortly and I'll let you know whether its still happening. Unfortunately, if it isn't, I assume the save files would no longer be of use to you.

Well, the good news (sort of) is that she is still showing up twice. I saved a file with her specific name in it as well, so even if it fixes itself at some point I'll still have that save. If you can describe specifically how to make that available on the cloud I can do that for you (also I verified I can find the saves).

you married twins... you naughty dog!

Well, that was interesting. So I ended up having room to make another party. I decided to make one using Sora as the leader to see what happens. Sora has remained in my party, but is also the leader of a separate party now. I forgot to check to see if she's still showing up twice in my battle though. I'll check tomorrow. Oh, btw, I also have a baby daughter named Sora, so technically there's at least 3 Soras in this game. Its possible that maybe the daughter sharing the same name screwed up the program a little or something.

I think it was allowed in this time period...maybe...I like it anyways.

Regarding the Friday post, when I gave Sora her own party, now she only shows up once in my battles (but still has an entity in party and a second in her own party).

Just posted this in another thread. Hope it helps:

They are definitely identical since I've run into this bug as well.

Steps that possibly cause this (playing in Beta 1.3.0):

• Marry a noblewoman (in my case, she never lead armies in her clan).
• Have a fief.
• Create a party for her.
• Wait until she gets captured by an enemy lord.
• She escapes and appears back at your fief already set as a Governor.
• Take her into your party and wait a few days without re-creating her party.
• You'll notice that your wife's party has been automatically recreated.
• She's still in your party though.
• Tell your wife to disband her party via the clan menu.
• Collect your second wife from your fief.

You now have two wives in your party that, I think, counts as just one person. There won't be any indication that there are two of them in your party... but on the battlefield, there will be two.

I first noticed this and thought they bug fixed itself when I told her to disband her army. But then I noticed how she got an instant double kill with a bow... I wondered how she did that and saw that there were TWO of them on the field (giver her a unique unused troop class and tell her to follow you).

They seem to contribute to each others skills too, as I saw her bow skill rapidly increase (shooting at twice the rate since she has a clone).

I think this ties in with the fact that some weird stuff goes on with your wife in your party. Your movement gets forcibly redirected to an army the AI creates when your wife is accompanying you. If you are waiting in a fief, you are 'stealth moving' when an army gets created... if you exit the town, you will basically 'teleport', but in reality, you are being dragged to where your party would be if you responded to the army call immediately. All of this stops if your wife is no longer in your party.

Possible fix (unsure): Go to a town and click the 'plus' button near the notables at the top. Select your wife to stay there... you will have to do this twice (because there's two).

She will now be in the keep. Tell her to rejoin your party. Seems like there's only 1 again (unless one ran off to create a new party, I will have to test this more).

Save file here for the devs (Beta 1.3.0): https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3cumyu5r9gmway/CloneWifeAndArmyMoveBug.sav?dl=0

Everything I've figured out is explained in the above quote.

Re-assign Idrun to another unused group. Go into a battle vs any of the nearby looters and check if theres two. Also, you will experience the annoying 'forced movement' bug that happens whenever an army gets created shortly after loading this save (also explained above in the quote - causes the 'teleport' issue).

I haven't had a forced movement bug of my party. But I have noticed when I create a new party, even without one of my two wives, it is now creating the party without allowing me to add troops to it AND it is created in a city that isn't even in my controlled area, that is not near me, and that I haven't been in for a long time (if ever). It is the same town each time. Unsure if this is at all related to what you are saying.

I have been informed that this issue is fixed on our development branch and the fix will be implemented with the upcoming patches. Thanks for reporting!
