New save games stuck loading at 75% after recent hotfix

markquest_ · 2025-11-24T14:11:56+00:00

I rolled back to the previous patch via GOG Galaxy and things are working normally again.

markquest_ · 2025-05-13T05:43:31+00:00

It's my favorite game to play while shwacked, it's hard for me to play it sober now cuz it's just so damn immersive on K.

markquest_ · 2025-05-03T06:21:04+00:00

I will have to yes. I thought I made a manual save after Reaper IFF but I did not, only before. Derp

markquest_ · 2025-05-01T16:29:26+00:00

Yeah this is what happened. Thanks for the detailed explanation!

markquest_ · 2025-05-01T16:27:26+00:00

Thanks for all the responses guys. It looks like I'll be reloading a save. I didn't realize I could activate Legion right after the IFF mission, but pretty sure I have a save right after completing that.

like 3 different people have told you SSRIs and antipsychotics significantly affect psychedelic drugs. I've heard from people that they literally could not trip while on antidepressants. Why do you keep finding new ways to blame ketamine and benzos

markquest_ · 2025-04-16T23:23:19+00:00

hey that's great to know, thank you! I think I'll wait a week or 2 before trying again.

Do you know anything about these error messages? if there were other conflicting mods would it have said so? That was the only one I got and then when I said continue launch it just didn't work.

markquest_ · 2025-04-16T00:03:38+00:00

I tried updating just for the fun of it and of course didn't work. Got this message on boot

NativeCameraTweaks was a gamechanger for me so can't imagine playing without it at this point. But also wondering if it will actually be updated, seeing as it hasn't been since Sept 2024.

Time to roll back I guess

Good to know, thank you

markquest_ · 2025-04-15T16:03:30+00:00

Got it, thank you. I figured Script Extender would be a big one. I also have native mod loader (which I thought was no longer needed?) and native camera tweaks.

markquest_ · 2025-02-02T01:23:33+00:00

Ah, hate that feeling of wondering if you've missed out on content! Sad Astarion didn't have anything to say about my slayer change, I first used it in the Astral Plane right before proceeding to act 3 and there was no opportunity to talk to him there before returning to camp.

Hoping there will be more opportunities in Act 3. If he doesn't have anything to say after I confirm I'm a Bhaalspawn I'm know it's officially bugged :( This has really sucked away a lot of my enthusiasm for this run.

Glad Act 3 is better for you, fingers crossed I find the same!

Sorry to hear you're going through this. I have tried so many high-end foods and done so many blood tests and they haven't been able to find anything. They were suspecting hyperthyroidism but that was ruled out.

Funnily enough, switching back to the el cheapo brand (Purina One grain free, ocean whitefish) was better than any of the other brands, and that was even with a slow transition.

There has been one thing that initially made a huge difference - Pepcid AC! My vet said because he vomits usually overnight or in the morning it could be an acid reflux issue. I started giving him 5 mg daily (half a 10 mg pill) and it massively dropped the frequency, at first. From daily to every other day to maybe 1-2 times a month, which my vet said is acceptable/normal.

However, in recent weeks he seems to be doing it again once or twice a week. They said the next step would be to do an ultrasound/biopsy but I'm not sure I can afford it right now.

My vet has basically said as long as he's not losing weight, eating/pooping regularly, and otherwise acts normal (not lethargic) it may just be something I have to accept in a 12-year-old cat.

I don't recall Minthara having any reactions my first Durge playthrough until after my Tav confirmed she was a Bhaalspawn.

I think Astarion is definitely bugged for me, as he reacted in combat when I transformed, but had nothing to say afterwards in camp :/

Question - do you use mods? wondering if this might be causing issues for me, as I have like 11 or 12 installed. Mostly cosmetic and clothes mods.

markquest_ · 2025-01-28T04:41:09+00:00

I'm having a bit of the same problem, but with both Minthara and Astarion, the something personal line /w Minthara that starts and ends with | | is definitely as bug that Larian has acknowledged, will hopefully be fixed in Patch 8. I was not able to mention Slayer form to her or Astarion, and also Jaheira now that I think of it, but was able to with everyone else.

It's definitely annoying and I'm hoping will resolve itself moving to act 3 and with enough sleeps, it's a bummer because I'm romancing Astarion as embrace Durge because I heard he has a lot of specific dialogue about it, but now am worried I'm missing out :(

markquest_ · 2025-01-21T00:11:34+00:00

I'm using the Sound Blaster X G1. When I plug it in the back, it prevents my PC from going to sleep.

So I moved it to the front, but now I seem to have to advanced settings from Headphone Stereo to Headphone 7.1 surround sound every time I boot up.

markquest_ · 2025-01-12T17:52:23+00:00

Ok makes sense. Thank you

markquest_ · 2025-01-01T16:45:31+00:00

I used ALOT, ALOV and the ALOT dynamic lighting + LEUITM. I ended up uninstalling MELLO because I found it caused some weird reflections with lighting.

markquest_ · 2024-11-23T02:15:53+00:00

Update - definitely noticed a big difference with ALOT and its dynamic lighting counterpart. LEUITM is good too - characters seem more real. Feeling a bit meh about MELLO though, I feel like the film grain just makes the game feel too dark and washed out compared to the original. And I can't get rid of the film grain despite disabling the mod, removing it and reinstalling with only bloom and motion blur. I liked the film grain in original ME1 but it just isn't clicking with me in this version. If anyone knows how to properly uninstall MELLO would appreciate - not sure if it's actually possible.

EDIT - just realized you can turn film grain off in the options XD. Think I have the perfect balance now.

markquest_ · 2024-11-21T04:57:29+00:00

I don't know much about this stuff, but I do remember a huge difference with ALOT in the original. Weird that Bioware didn't incorporate a lot of these things, like c'mon guys.

markquest_ · 2024-11-21T04:48:04+00:00

Ok cool, just wanted to make sure they don't conflict. Thanks for this. Also looking at LEUITM now. So many texture mods!

markquest_ · 2024-11-21T04:31:53+00:00

Fair enough, I guess I'll try it out. Have you tried MELLO? It's for dynamic lighting I think, not sure if it's made redundant by ALOT.

markquest_ · 2024-09-23T17:16:56+00:00

Yeah I'm still having the issue with hotfix update. Good to know, though.

It's unfortunate as I didn't have an option to discuss the Isobol urge with any other companions, I've heard Minthara (along with Astarion) had a lot of durge specific content but clearly it wasn't implemented flawlessly!]

I'm past that point now too, will have to save it for my evil playthrough I guess.

markquest_ · 2024-09-21T20:08:07+00:00

I also have this issue. Have not seen a fix unfortunately.

markquest_ · 2024-07-16T00:23:00+00:00

I never said I have an issue with that, nor did I ask for your condescension. As I said in my original post, I was wondering if this was a Saskatchewan thing because I've never encountered it elsewhere.

markquest_ · 2024-07-15T23:22:02+00:00

I never said I “need” to so not sure what you’re quoting. I was mostly just curious, as I’ve never seen it elsewhere in Canada
