I know of two current bugs,
Inventory bug = when a character dies don't loot their body... Doing this breaks them even after Rez and they will not auto-do anything + their inventory just disappears

Conversation bug = any character that is stealth or invisible when a talk ends in combat will become stuck in talk if the enemy can't detect them at the start of the combat... Even if they become visible later

The easy place to recreate this bug is fighting the harpies at druid Grove but other places can do it as well... This bug stops the character doing anything at all for the rest of the game

The notes you posted for the new hotfix appear to fix my issue. Who knows if I'll have to revert to get Gale back... but glad to know it was a bug and not PEBKAC.

Is anyone else experiencing a short rest bug on the new patch? I'm on 17077, but if I use short rest, it doesn't matter where I am, the party sits down and gets stuck in the rest position, game is effectively dead.

i'm not sure what you mean by 17077... the current build on Gog is now V4.1.1.1707785 unless you have a Mac

its now possible to hit the beach dead... in effect stopping your run [see image]

when this happens you will have a full black screen with no control over the character but you can open the menu, and the last autosave should be loaded to confirm this is in fact the issue [again see image]... network play = the host character is the one that counts even if others are alive

work around = load a save from still on the ship and refight the boss

its still not possible to do Will's quest for Spike.. this was reported before but is busted at a script level so even if you do knock him out it doesn't work

this script bug is because two place markers are removed

the underdark is very glichy with the new effects... the worse area is the Myconid Colony where you actually have to leave in order to adjust your spell list because the UI keeps ticking back to reset

anyway another full run finished and for the most part Bard holed her own. ;)

wall

One side is Mexico and the other Texas....

so first off, don't post a "me too" into a bug report thread because nobody will notice it... you are alway best to open your own thread if your question has nothing to do with other threads simply because more people will see it

now what are your stats:
1. OS i.e, Windows 10, Galaxy, offline installer or Mac
2. what game build are you trying to run
3. you say it used to work... how long ago, what changed, did you replace a harddrive, install a new OS or tried a new antivirus perhaps?
exactly what doesn't load, Galaxy starts, the Larian launcher starts, the single player game starts or multiplayer?

also hardware; Ram, Cpu, Gpu ... if its a laptop, what model?
