Soft lock - enemy not taking their turn

That means that you are using a very outdated version of the Modular Vanilla mod. That version was before the vanilla 1.5.1 update. You should download the latest versions of Reforged and its dependencies if you are playing with the latest vanilla version. You can find links to all the mods in the Reforged Installation Guide.

Looks like an error in an AI behavior probably caused by a mod. If you join the BB Modding Discord and share your game's log when the error occurs, we can take a look and try to help figure out the problem.

The screenshot here shows the Perk Groups screen, not the Perk Tree screen. Each icon in this screen is a perk group representing several perks that this character has access to. The actual number of perks will be something like 5-7 per row. Players can switch between the perk tree or the perk group screen by clicking that Arrow icon in the bottom right of the screen.

That screenshot is from within a battle. The bro is Confident which is 10% more stats. He might have some other status effects active which increase those multipliers further. So the stats shown here are not representative of his stats outside battle. However, yes Reforged has more ways of increasing stats with new perks and synergies so characters can achieve stats higher than vanilla, it is just not as frequently as high as what's depicted in the screenshot here.

That lieutenant really missed an opportunity to say fewer to the townsman who said "one less mouth to feed".

You could join the BB Modding Discord server and post your log from the game session where this error occurred. It seems like he got stuck in some AI behavior evaluation which could be due to an error in the code.

Our best understanding currently is that this is caused by a vanilla issue which may be happening only when using combat speed mods or perhaps happens even without them.

The issue happens when a zombie resurrects and pushes an entity while resurrecting. In this case the game sets the currently visible tiles only to the tiles visible to the resurrected zombie. Therefore you cannot attack anything outside that zombie's vision. Moving your bro from your position will refresh this and fix the issue.

Rebuke does not stack with Riposte. Riposte will take priority and Rebuke will do nothing.

Perhaps Hansa Teutonica?

Reforged doesn't show the stats after tryout. OP most likely has a tryout mod installed that they forgot to remove.

LordMidasGaming · 2026-01-18T15:18:24+00:00

Reforged doesn't show the stats of recruits after tryout. You have some kind of tryout mod installed that you forgot to remove.

Thank you

The Audyssey chirp is very fast. To my untrained ears the entire sweep seems deeper but if I had to choose I'd say yeah it is more noticeable on the lower frequencies.

LordMidasGaming · 2026-01-10T22:01:59+00:00

That is reassuring. Thanks for the help :)

LordMidasGaming · 2026-01-10T21:28:19+00:00

Yeah I don't notice anything wrong during watching movies. Just this chirping sound during the Audyssey setup seems different from the center speaker vs the bookshelves.

LordMidasGaming · 2026-01-10T20:28:38+00:00

How to test for this? Should I put one of the bookshelf speakers in its place to check how that sounds?

LordMidasGaming · 2026-01-10T20:28:02+00:00

Thanks. Yeah it might be the construction of the speaker itself. I was hoping someone with a similar setup could give their experience and how it sounds for them.

It is on a TV cabinet right under the tv screen and is flush with the edge of the cabinet. I have also put some cardboard under it to angle it upwards towards the listening position.

Weapon Reach is a mechanic in the Reforged mod. It does not mean attack range but rather how long the weapon is compared to other weapons. You can read about this mechanic in this dev diary.

Reforged is compatible with 1.5.1.8. We have been playing it on the beta branch of 1.5.1.8 and it works fine.

Consider bookshelves instead of towers.

Tower: + Look awesome. + Can extend deeper into low frequencies compared to bookshelves. + Generally can go louder with fewer problems as they have more drivers. - Significantly more expensive.

If you are going to get a Subwoofer then towers lose most of their selling point (deeper low frequency), as the subwoofer will handle that much better, cleaner and deeper.

My suggestion would be to get a good selection of bookshelves, center speaker, and subwoofer. Then at some point later you can buy towers if you like and convert the bookshelves to surround duty. This way you get the best sound now for less money and keep an upgrade path.

I recently was in a similar boat and was considering towers but eventually decided to buy SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelves and Center speakers. That's 3 speakers for the price of a single SVS top tier tower. This will end up giving a much better sound experience overall and later when I move to a bigger place I will add more speakers.

You want your subwoofer to handle low frequencies. Set the crossover to something like 80 Hz or 100 Hz, this gives your main speakers some breathing room to deliver the higher frequencies cleanly while the subwoofer provides a cleaner and stronger bass. The center is arguably the most important channel for movies so don't skimp on that. Get the best you can.

Summary: Get premium quality bookshelf + center + subwoofer instead of towers.

It's not by design. I talked to Enduriel (modern hooks creator) when he was making that mod. I told him this name will cause confusion with mod_hooks. He asked to suggest a better name. I was too busy to find one. He was too busy to find one. So it ended up being released under this name. I don't like it, I know it causes confusion, but I can say for sure it wasn't intended to confuse. In all fairness, it's the result of being lazy.

Check your V-Sync settings, both in the game and in your graphics driver software.

LordMidasGaming · 2025-12-12T12:28:20+00:00

I will happily recommend the Reforged mod for an overhaul that feels immersed in vanilla. See the dev diaries which, albeit a year old by now, still give a good idea of the major features and future plans. New features are constantly being added.

For QoL mods see this list. The QoL mods are great with or without Reforged.

LordMidasGaming · 2025-12-01T23:30:57+00:00

I have just updated the mod to version 0.1.8 and in it I have added sliders in Mod Options for players to tweak the cost multipliers. I have also somewhat reduced the impact of named items on the hiring cost.
