Fire Rain bug: sometimes it predicts/shows "damage 1" for every creature u put cursor on, and then u move cursor around a little and after that it shows correct damage. Fire rain works correctly and it kills "correct" number of creatures, just "preview" is wrong.

Hi im getting a crash to desktop in Iceland.

It happens when i fight blue ice dragons. The specific group that causes the crash is located around the middle, but a little to the right, when looking at the map. I dont know if the group is at fault , or just ice dragons in general.

But whenever its the ice dragons turn, i get crash to desktop.

I cant say wether this also happened before the patch, maybe you can figure it out. I know i killed the 3 quest dragons before applying the patch, maybe there were ice dragons in those fights?

Edit: i should probably mention that there are also 2 groups of Skalds in this specific group.

   5. Highterants:
      1. Lay invisible egg in cell southeast of them (egg is not really in that cell)
      2. At this stage, the bug has been revealed. Finish the battle however you see fit and note Highterant Egg is not where you expect it. You'll have to see which invisible hex they attack to determine where it is.
      3. Also note that you may see some slowdowns between turns of units and might have to wait 30 seconds to a minute for the game to continue during these slowdowns - be patient!

I have other saves where this happens as well, but this is the one I was able to recreate and repeat.

If you don't see the same amount of damage I'm doiing then you must either be doing something incorrectly or the random seed is somehow different on your computer.

Feel free to ask me any other questions hopefully you're able to repeat the problem I'm having...

/C\/C\

P.S. You must have the Armor of Valhalla set in order to repeat this bug with this save as indicated here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=463

Save is attached here:

There is a 45 page long Bug thread now, and the game has barely been out 3 weeks... That has to be a new record. The last time I have seen such a bugfest was with Temple of Elemental Evil, and that game was self-admittedly released well before it was finished at the urge of the publisher. Oh, and Heroes of Might and Magic Online (the Chinese MMO), but then, I'd barely call a strategy game that requires you to LOSE as many troops as you can to upgrade them a "game". More like a chore.

I now wonder - what reviews did the game got so far online? I figure most reviewers would just start it and add their review instantly without delving into it, thinking "this is the fourth game in the same installment, and at first look, looks and works the same as the 3 before it..." - but if they do a more through walkthrough, they will discover some of the more fatal and annoying bugs? Because in that case, expect scores of 1-2 or 20%.

Which brings me to the question we all have been asking... does 1C even care? The game is unplayeable right now due to the horrible amount of bugs, there is no official reaction so far about a patch, and people who bought the game should be rightfully pissed. It should not be up to the players to discover and fix bugs.

I wonder if this will have any impact on the testers of the game, who - we can say this with utter certainity - have done a really shoddy job.

I think you're wrong at full.

First they pinned the bug topic and let the community discuss it.
Other companies, thrust me, don't do the same and even ban whoever criticize their product.

Game is playable, only need to be fixed in some part.
Also, they relase an official patch and you can use the community workaround for other problem.
Read all this discussion, please.

and people who bought the game should be rightfully pissed. It should not be up to the players to discover and fix bugs.

Yes and no.
Because you can always ask a steam refound, if you are unhappy. So...

I wonder if this will have any impact on the testers of the game, who - we can say this with utter certainity - have done a really shoddy job.

Have you ever before make a game test?
You can work 1000 hours and not discover any bug because dozen of factor come at hand.
Also, you need founds to test 100% your product and no game company nowaday can affort this, because develope a game cost time, resource, maketing, and you must pay in advance only (sadly) to discover someone has blocked you game because in their country censorship o market got different standard.

Pal, you can wine if you want, but the best choice in this scenario is to do a contribution to make a good game even better or whait until the bug are fixed in full (1-2 month, and you get a shortened price as well)

Be calm

[Mandea]

Other companies, trust me, don't ask 30euro for a product with so many bugs.

it has nothing to do with wine, spare us this bullshit please.

1000 hours and no bugs? come on, this is ridiculous, I've encountered at least 20 different bugs in 80hours playtime. I don't believe there is a single person who hasn't while playing WOTN. the game is riddled with bugs. this game hasn't been tested, period. not 100%, not even 30%.
if you are happy with this game you should stop posting because the problems obviously don't concern you.

How much are they paying you to post this crap???

[Colbert30]

I noticed units retaliating more than they normally should with the last hero spell cast by the skald unit. I don't remember reading that on the spell description. Is that intended?

I'm not happy, i just try to make the game better for my enjoyment

Nothing. I can assure you.
I simply liked the Kb series from the beginning, and want this game working 100% and a next episode as soon as possible.
Keep the dev motivated is a way to get it.

[Mandea]

yeah right, I hope you're not expecting me to trust you after all that rubish. The game is full of bugs, it's a fact. some of them are hard to see, but most are not.
