    Game freezes upon trying to load it up. Steam doesnt work, Arc games doesnt work, force verifying doesnt work. Have tried multiple times on both programs to launch the game. Even turned off the computer and i've still got nothing.

    In "The cliffs of the starless sky" map, in location (2781, -140), one of the enemy stayed within the stone wall. Fortunately, my companion somehow knew how to "get in" and killed it. Then, she had hard time to get out from the stone wall. Eventually, she re-spawn outside. So, for this character, he had no problem to deal with the situation. Not sure about the others though.

    Mythic Lightning Flash enchantment is consumed during the exchange but cannot be reclaimed from the claim/unlock tab. Submitted a ticket for this reason as well on ticket nr#881521.

    Same as two other people. Game freezes and locks up on loading in (at Neverwinter screen with red dragon). Have tried reinstall. Playing through steam.

    Edit: Tried file check, no issues, still freezes on dragon screen.
    Edit2: Tried loading externally from steam, still freezes on dragon screen.
    Edit3: Tried loading in administrative, still freezes on dragon screen.

    "Wings of the Court Fairy Shirt are no longer visible when riding the Bore Worm mount."

    Instead of fixing it, you just get rid of it. Sigh!
    Yes, it is changed to the way the statement describes.

    This happened to me as well today, and it also happened on Preview. You'll need to tweak the enemy locations a little.

    Bug: Mob-sized bosses in HEs are getting lost in the crowd, especially if other NPCs are present. (it is really hard to spot them, target them and to avoid getting hit by them)

    Bug: Once again: It is hard for the bard to hit Large-sized bosses with encounter power Ad Libitum.

    Feedback: Lockdown Captains - for now it is a funny joke, but before this mod is over, they need one digit reduction on HP and damage as it will soon be pretty hard to find 20 volunteers to die over and over again.
    Feedback: Lockdown Captains are extremely melee unfriendly. Just what was the goal with the web?
    Feedback: Without Lockdown Captains there is a severe lack of the dropped "Elite Sigil" currency.

    Feedback: Targeting gear bonuses according to the class, not the role, is a new and for me kinda not welcomed thing.

    Feedback: Inability to buy gear for an alt is certainly a bad thing.

    Feedback: The lack of universal slots in the new mounts is not attractive.

    Feedback: I do not like the inability to upgrade the old mounts to 4 insignia standard.

    Feedback: So, the shuffle with companion damage miraculously put the newly introduced Zen store companion on the top? Wow, who would have ever guessed such development! =)

    Feedback: With all previous trials I had this initial feeling: With a few tweaks and a bit of power-creep may be, one day. With the new one: Nope, I do not want there. Ever.

    edit: Feedback: Not directly listing how much currency a quest reward offers is still a bad thing.

    Feedback General Summary: Luckily, unlike the M16, I can ignore this mod without completely quitting the game. That is a big plus, because it took just one day to confirm the first impression: I do not like it one bit.

    Got all above issues and tried all of above methods.
    Finally simply left the game in |not responding| status for a long time and it worked.
    Can say for how long beacause went out for a few hours :)
    Now it opens in a blink.

    The following now properly unlock within their Collections entry. This is not retroactive and only applies if the item is in your inventory or changes state.

    Special Companions should now unlock in collections whenever your character obtains any version of that companion.

    Icosahedron Ioun Stone Companion.

    This did not work claimed - account wide leg version didn't work discarded as already had leg. Upgraded to mythic didn't work either.

    Under the Appearance Tab, Copy Colors to Other Slots is broken.



    I selected Copy on the chest piece but while the UI changed to add the Done Copying button at the bottom, the menu for other items doesn't change. It is impossible to copy colors now.

    Graphics Issue with the "marble floor tiles":
    The targeting circle for a paladin's Bane power appears under the floor tiles instead of on top of it. You cannot see the circle if it is fully within the area of the tiles, but you can see some of the ring if it pokes out into the regular flooring. This glitch can be seen in the tents at 1615,1442 and 1792,1510.

    Bug: The major Mindflayer HE,
    like in the Soshenstar River Camp Vengeance HE, has a following feature: If you step into certain, unmarked and clear areas, you get teleported back to a default position. Like the Camp Vengeance, its only apparent purpose is to confuse and irritate players - as you have to cross this minefield to fulfill the objective.

    You can jump into the main boss.

    Since the patch, I can no longer buy Temple of the spider keys on any toon. I have tried on toons that have entered the new zone, toons that haven't entered the new zone, toons with capped (5k) coin currency, toons without capped coins, toons that have completed northdark, toons that haven't completed northdark...no matter the stats or toon, just can't buy tos keys anymore. This needs to be fixed asap.

    Seeing a lot of the same animations under the geometry issues in the Castle Ravenloft dungeon - with the Sisters fight and Strahd fight being particularly terrible with barely visible damage patches.

    Bug: A blind branch of the map The Cliffs of the Starless Sky map seems to have hidden lore/node at (2903, -388), which is however completely buried in a cart and therefor inaccessible.

    Bug: The Cliffs of the Starless Sky (2776, -141) a mob stuck in the wall.

    Bug: The Cliffs of the Starless Sky mini-bosses: the red charge up areas are stationary, but the actual attack will be aimed at you regardless where you move.

    I think the Stack share is intended, so more people using the companion makes the stacks go faster and more consistent. The max stats multiplied by the number of comps is 100% a bug and should be fixed. I hope they do this and not change or nerf the companion

    One of my characters tried to claim "Darkfire Longboots" (the 100 reward) but it could not and the it just kept spinning (the spinning animate). Changed instance did not help. Re-open the campaign window did not help.
    Finally, I logout and login. Then, it drops when I login.

    No, right now, I don't have a problem but I should not need to try to figure out how to 'workaround' it.

    I'm having the same issue with the game loading and freezing. I've erased all local files, reinstalled the steam app then the complete game. Didn't work after fresh install. Trying a 2nd time now.

    First time I downloaded the patch, it gave me junk numbers (like MBs worth of a patch), and never worked.

    After the implementation of the new module, my characters are prevented from buying the Spider Key even with the campaign completed and they have the items requested for purchase.
    I also want to know if I will be rewarded with the keys I couldn't buy in that period.

    Thanks.

    Hers another to add, opened Menzo by doing the Caverns, made it to the post, logged out and did the same over and over on a few alts. Only a problem has arisen. On my Barbarian, I am in the post, but have no quests, and when going to the door I am met with the "You cannot travel here" message.



    Thats me, in center, companion Kavatos is standing next to Drizzt.

    Barovia day-night cycle indicator is gone.

    And if this can be fixed, would it be possible to return the second indicator for Riverdistrict major HEs Ship/Counterattack? There used to be 2 separate charge-up circles, one for each. Now ship overrides the Counterattack.

    Confirmed that the day/night cycle indicator is no longer showing around the mini-map.

    In Fangbreaker's Island the runes before and during the dragon turtle boss fight float in the air about half a character hight above the ground.

    In Castle Ravenloft during the Sister fight the blood aoe on the ground is sometimes under the grass texture making it invisible and positioning way harder.
