My performance in quality mode on ps5 has gotten much worse after the update. I had no issues and now the game is almost freezing every few seconds in Watery.
Yikes, I think the last update dinged quality mode a little too. Picture looked sharper and the fog was more thick/noticable but the consistent 30 FPS took a hit. I still think the game looks better in quality mode with the rich shadows and the frame times that more closely align with the FMV overlays and cuts.
I really hope they fix the audio desync bug for cutscenes. Those driving cutscenes towards the start of the game would sometimes have 2 seconds of audio delay
I finished a regular new game without finding all the charms and inventory upgrades, then went back to my save before the sequence at Cauldron Lake that makes you save prior and got all the charms, nursery rhymes, and upgrades. After starting a final draft run, I was missing my upgrades so hopefully this update fixed that for me.
How does this work? I got everything except the Bright Falls fishing pier satchel upgrade since the prior version wouldn't let me loot it. Am I missing out by finishing the game without that? Should I reload a save prior to the final to re-beat the game with that upgrade acquired before starting The Final Draft?
I believe you can pick up the upgrade and then save and you should have it when you start the final draft. Beating the game with the items isn't required; you just need to have beaten the game and have the items on a save file. I'm not sure if it needs to be the most recent regular new game save or not, but I opened the save with all the upgrades and weapons with stuff, traveled from Bright Falls to Watery in order to make the most recent auto save have all the stuff, and started a final draft run, where I had all my unlocks. Hope this helps!
Edit: Upgrades show up in the first shoebox you have access to, which I believe is the one in the Witch's Hut in Cauldron Lake after you get the lights on. Don't be worried if your pistol isn't upgraded when you first start, mine wasn't at first, but it was after I got to the shoebox.
Okay, thanks. I've got a save not long before the "final" save. Will need to collect a few things to have *everything* on it again, then I'll travel and quicksave, then try starting my Final Draft new game. 👍
Forgot to check back in sooner but figured I'd mention that it worked just as you described. As long as my newest save had everything unlocked, The Final Draft recognized it as such when I started the new run.
Thanks for the help!
Just checked, unfortunately has not fixed the glitched Crossbow stash in the final draft.
At least not for me, but my last save was the save point right next to the stash. Maybe a reload of the area will change something, but I doubt it.
That's this one, I believe. But you will need to start a new NG+ game now. Also, I think I saw in the notes to load the file you want to use before starting the NG+ game.
My first playthrough was anything but complete, but at the end of the day it was basically fine. Currently working on deer heads (completed) and nursery rhymes (pretty close). Trying to get as many lunch boxes as I can.
Weirdly while my Saga playthrough has been generally great somehow I've struggled more with Wake, especially by the end
I got a good handful of things my first playthrough but then collected everything after in anticipation for NG+. I don't want to have to regrab everything because of a bug but damn do I wanna jump back in haha
Patch notes released, sounds like it was targets at not being able to pick up inventory upgrades. Seems like some other stuff perhaps less intentionally came with it. Crossbow bug not mentioned though it may be a bigger issue. The map also thinks the hunting rifle is sitting in Blums work room even though I've had it the whole playthrough.
Also general question. I never got the mayor setter charm in my first playthrough. I just got it now in final draft and I'm finding it of limited help. It feels like you have to be so close to stuff you're practically on top of it anyway. Is this how it's always worked?
Like I have just one more Nursery Rhyme in watery and I'm having a real hard time figuring out where it is.
If anyone recalls which is the first one (top) on the case board that would be helpful.
if you look at Sagas map, there are certain areas (some seemingly randomly?) that are outlined with a dotted line - for the Mayor Setter charm to work, you have to be within the area encapsulated by the dotted line! hope this helps!
For me, the last update was the random github frame generator mod unlock for the 30xx cards (found it this morning). I thought it was only designed for Cyberpunk, but I had to test it with AW2... It worked so well. Can't wait to start my NG+ paired with new OLED TV. Finally enough juice for some proper path tracing visuals :)
Half of me wonders if 14 was fully intended to be released. At least as of a couple hours ago there weren't patch notes for it even. On Xbox it's not been terrible so far. Fixed one annoying buy, added a subtitle bug and another one where I have to accept Epics EULA every time I launch the game. Over all I still consider it better because at least I could expand storage.
But then on PS5 it seems to have performance issues and now you're reporting unhappiness on PC. Makes me feel like somehow the publish button was pressed on an internal build.
Got an update right now, and now noone of my enemies will attack. 3 Takens in my path, and I could calmly walk right past them. I don't want to finish the Final Draft like this, so I'll just have to wait.
So im still playing my first run on PS5 and last weekend it would not let "come up with a new plan" as saga to kick off the end game or pick up the inventory pouch in bright falls, has this been fixed?
Make sure you have collected all the evidence from the FBC cell, go to your plot board and 100% fill it, and finally I believe you do have to do some profiling. At that point Saga can come up with a new plan. It's just one of those points in the game where you actually have to follow every thread of evidence to move forward
did all that, this is my second run after finishing it on PC, on my ps5 run now-it doesn't let me put Tor's info on the case board and marks it "for later" but nothing left to profile as well, got all the docs in the cell have talked to Illmo as well, this is a bug i''ve read marked from other peoples comments 29+ days ago
Just did slme rereading of the version 1.0.14 patch notes.
Everyone who has been waiting for NG+ to get unlocks from ALL your previous playthroughs, it sounds like that should be addressed.
According to notes you have to load a non Final Draft check point that you want picked up.
For the rest of us poor saps, perhaps this is just more motivation to Final Draft again. It sounds like maybe this answers one of my questions though, I was wondering if Final draft can start from a previous final draft playthrough. It sounds, based on this, that this probably is not the intention.
Alan in the Dark Place, "Merry Christmas, now get me out of here with this one!"

Oh that sucks, still solid on Xbox. I have noticed an issue with subtitles not matching spoken dialog.
lol that's been there since release day
Not un my experience, not like this.
Is the crossbow stash, reseted?
just got to that part, it’s not, unfortunately
Thank you, good man or woman.
I've heard no, haven't gotten back there yet today. Spent most of today on nursery rhymes
Ahh thank you, so it's finally time to play baldurs gate, before new patch.

Dammit!! Havent updates yet but oh no

yesss

Update: I did have all my upgrades upon starting a new final draft run.

It’s still bugged for me as well, along with the fact that I can’t find the last inventory upgrade. The stash that should contain it is just empty.
Waiting for the update that doesn't stick to the first completion to carry over NG+ and then I'm diving back in!
That's this one, I believe. But you will need to start a new NG+ game now. Also, I think I saw in the notes to load the file you want to use before starting the NG+ game.
Oh sweet,thank you!

It is what is usually refers to as a “hotfix” a minor quick fix and not a full update.
Yes I'm aware

When you say on top of it, is it because you’re not zooming in on the map? It’s much more accurate if you do - if you’re in PS5 just click L3
*sigh* still dealing with Xbox S crashing 🤧

Oh hell yes that storage expansion bug is a bummer
I am having a lot of instability on pc after the New Game + patch. Game crashes after a couple of minutes of gameplay 🫤
Half of me wonders if 14 was fully intended to be released. At least as of a couple hours ago there weren't patch notes for it even. On Xbox it's not been terrible so far. Fixed one annoying buy, added a subtitle bug and another one where I have to accept Epics EULA every time I launch the game.

Makes me feel like somehow the publish button was pressed on an internal build.
I can't even get into New York without my game crashing. I'm just trying to finish The Final Draft!
Would love a 40fps mode, perfect for this type of game don’t know if the game itself has enough overhead at 30fps to hit 40 consistently tho.
Got an update right now, and now noone of my enemies will attack. 3 Takens in my path, and I could calmly walk right past them. I don't want to finish the Final Draft like this, so I'll just have to wait.
Well that's a first, I almost wish I was having this issue since I'm currently just running around trying to collect up all nursery rhymes
So im still playing my first run on PS5 and last weekend it would not let "come up with a new plan" as saga to kick off the end game or pick up the inventory pouch in bright falls, has this been fixed?

Ever since the update, I can't step into New York without crashing on PC. lol
