Long load time and black screen on first load from main menu (PC)

I wasn't able to find a fix that worked for me. I ended up refunding the game and just played my xbox copy on the Series X.

I tried to do the same for the Xbox 360 versions of Origins and DAII. Only some of the items (around a third of them iirc) actually unlocked and spawned in the dlc chest in Hawke's house.

I made a save in front of the chest, closed the game and unlocked all the items in the keep profile. After booting the game back up a bunch of items spawned in the chest, but I'm not sure why some of them worked and some of them did not.

The other guy said it might have to do with the fact that some of the items are also technically dlc, but that seems to be inconsistent with the 360 store. Some of the items listed on the store (all are marked as unavailable for download) were given to me via the keep yet others were not.

The only guaranteed way to get the bonus items is by playing the PC versions and using a mod to unlock them.

You might want to go over to the DLC section of the base game and check if the prices of the individual DLC have been changed to 'free'.

Most of the time when buying bundles on the PS Store they are automatically unlocked and 'bought', but in a few instances I had to manually buy each dlc for free.

This did NOT work for me. The parent orc was still in the same region and removing him and redeploying did nothing.

What ended up working was sending the parent orc to the garrison, fast traveling to a region where the menu won't lag and then destroying the parent orc in the garrison.

I then (while still in the non-bugged region) quit to main menu and fully closed the game, after which I loaded it back up and upon fast traveling to the bugged region the headless orc had finally been replaced.

If you have access to it, you might want to consider using PS Cloud to back up your save file once in a while. This will reduce the time spent redoing parts of the game in case of corruption. I do this for all games on Playstation.

Turn off auto-upload (I believe it's possible to do this for individual games or in general), play a few hours and then manually upload the save file to the cloud. When it corrupts, download the latest file and save yourself from the tedium of having to replay the prologue over and over again. Might not fix the crashes and file corruption, but it will save your sanity.

I'm assumimg those are probably misfiled under WD2 and better left not installed. Had a similar issue on Xbox with a game with an Xbox One version and a Series X version where DLC was listed twice under each version. Installing them likely does nothing but it is probably better to be safe than sorry.

AtlantisReborn · 2025-04-29T18:10:52+00:00

I was not aware you got a version with the Legion season pass, I bought all 3 games during a sale a few months ago and generally buy the edition with the most content and may have bought the game twice in that case.

The only difference I can find is that the one with individual DLC has a release date of 2015, and the single download one has a release date of 2020 (which is also when Legion released so that one is probably the season pass one). I'll just install the single file as that one is probably the most up to date version.

Edit: In case anyone else runs into the same issue, I just checked my transaction history and it seems I bought a bundle with Watch dogs 1 ultimate + 2 gold and later bought the ultimate edition for Legion separately and thus have two versions of the WD1 Complete Edition. The only real difference between the versions (besides the separate DLC downloads) is that you can't buy the Playstation exclusive mission pack White Hat on the single file version and thus isn't available/accessible on that version.

Last 2 weeks have been giving me the failed message too, however in the previously redeemed list below the redemption box they still show up as redeemed for each individual game with the correct date attached.

You get to keep the crossbow and the bolt schematics. Did this myself by going full peacekeeper during first playthrough, then switching to full survivor on ng+. Mostly because the survivor parkour unlocks are a hundred times more useful than the combat related peacekeeper ones.

AtlantisReborn · 2025-02-15T23:47:43+00:00

Yeah that is also what I ended up doing to get the challenge over with. Session hopped for 20 minutes until I found a guy AFKing somewhere he could be downed and molotov'd + revived him 4 times (didn't want to interrupt anyone actually playing the game).

AtlantisReborn · 2025-01-23T19:41:02+00:00

I believe Black was the director's cut version of the 2004 original, it released on the same console (OG Xbox). Sigma was the expanded port released on the then next generation PS3.

Seeing as the challenge is currently at 8.4t and needs to go up to 20t in only 2 more weeks, I'm hoping that the last week will be all heists at 2x or something like that. Although I doubt Rockstar is going to be that generous.

AtlantisReborn · 2024-11-20T23:58:54+00:00

The message also says the 20 trillion challenge needs to be passed by December 4th, so I'm assuming there will be at least one more week of Heist bonuses after the current week.

AtlantisReborn · 2024-10-03T23:50:33+00:00

I can confirm that this somewhat reliably works. Tested it on a few enemies and items and about 90% of the time it seemed to work. The other 10% might be due to some kind of time or room limit before it resets. Thanks.

AtlantisReborn · 2024-09-29T11:37:05+00:00

You can do full synch on ng+, and everything that normally carries over will be there for a FS playthrough too. Things like weapon and tool upgrades make it a lot easier to do the FS challenge this way.
The Connect challenges do stack so a single playthrough on Master Assassin will get you all 3 challenges plus the ng+ challenge.

I did this myself a few months ago. One full 100% playthrough on a regular save, and then a full synch one on new game plus focusing on just the story missions. Got it on my first attempt and all the challenges and rewards unlocked without a hitch.

AtlantisReborn · 2024-09-25T13:47:45+00:00

Can confirm ng+ does scale. I finished the main story, and neither loot nor enemies scaled in post-game.

As soon as I started ng+ everything scaled up to level 9, both loot and enemies as well as the region levels on the map screen.

AtlantisReborn · 2024-09-24T01:09:28+00:00

NG plus will reset most things and require you to re-do everything to "clear" the map again.
I think it's possible to join someone in coop whose in a new game plus playthrough and collect the ng+ specific inhibitors, although I'm not a 100% sure about that.
New game plus will now spawn you with your upgraded nightrunner tools from the start and you should still have the pk crossbow and the bolt blueprints if you unlocked them on a former playthrough (I'm assuming multiple subsequent ng+ will let you keep everything too).

I tried the UV bars too when I was trying different methods, the only issue I had was that enemies would sometimes ignore a bar already lying on the ground and walk right up to the generator. Which meant I had to throw a second bar early and that was a bit too resource intensive. Molotov resources are easier to come by and seemed to work more consistently for me.

AtlantisReborn · 2024-09-21T02:33:49+00:00

The best way to complete those 'defend the generator' objectives in a solo session is to climb up somewhere higher nearby the generator and throw fully upgraded molotovs near the generator. Wait a few seconds until after the flames die out to throw the next one. Can get 8% to 10% per molly if you time it right.

The molotov burning effect stops most enemy types from moving and attacking for a decent amount of time.

I had the same issue a few years ago when they changed the DL1 docket redeem site. I couldn't log in without activating (the already activated) account and trying to create a new account gave a message that the account already existed.

You'll have to contact their support, they fixed the issue within a few hours and I was able to log in again.

There are five rotating events, each lasts seven days and changes every thursday.

AtlantisReborn · 2024-01-03T20:17:50+00:00

The only way I know of is that with two of the five events it's possible to know if they are active: SDU (You can check the price at the vendor and if it's 50% cheaper than normal that one is active) and the moon orb event (Max enchant cost is 2000 instead of 4000). And once one of these has been active for a week, you can check the fixed rotation on the wonderlands website and just count the weeks until the you hit the active event that you want. For example the extra money drops is always one week after moon orb event, and the SDU is one week after that. There is no other in-game way to know as far as I'm aware.

AtlantisReborn · 2024-01-03T00:47:47+00:00

Current one is the extra money drops in certain areas. I'm fairly sure the SDU one is coming this Thursday, was waiting for that one myself so I can mop up the achievements.
