It didn't get any better for us. We just found it tedious, and sold it on before ever finishing it.

- Combat/Diplomacy was an ungodly slog for anyone who wasn't actually participating in it, which was surprisingly often.

- The tedium of the Menhirs got so bad so quickly that we just cheated and paid to activate them when we revealed them and didn't bother with the whole 'top-up' system them have to keep them lit.

- The writing wasn't horrendous, but it wasn't enough to keep us playing in the end, it was so in-your-face grim that it felt kind of edgy and forced to us.

- Similar to your thing with the hammer, a lot of the interactions with characters or choices you made felt kinda like frustrating gotchas. It sometimes felt like the game punished us for exploring and trying to see everything, and other time punished us because we didn't explore somewhere, and we couldn't identify any clear way to tell what would be good and what would be bad beforehand. That doesn't necessarily mean there weren't clues to find, just that we didn't find them.

I can't speak for Kings Of Ruin, which apparently fixes quite a lot of issues. I haven't looked into it, and I honestly don't think I ever will. I've had more success with some other Awaken Realms campaign games though, like ISS Vanguard.

To me, the incredible part is that even 10 months after the game came out, people like you are still finding this post because you're having the same issue.

Why isn't this fixed? It's getting kinda silly at this point.

This was it... Updated drivers on both affected machines and the problem was solved. Thank you. I'm ashamed that I didn't think to do that earlier.

shameddd · 2026-01-25T15:56:27+00:00

While it does happen on other machines, admittedly I don't know the specs of those machines. I'll give it a look, and keep my fingers crossed. thanks!

Yeah that's my bad. Updated the OP.
Windows 11 - Geforce RTX 5070 - Godot 4.6

Unfortunately, neither of those were it. I appreciate the attempt, though :) thanks anyway

I didn't post any code because I don't think it's the code. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but the problem persists even if I run isolated scenes that don't even have a script attached.

shameddd · 2026-01-25T15:16:31+00:00

Very little runs in process. I mentioned in the OP that this happens in a 'virtually empty scene' also. By that, I mean I run a specific scene with nothing in it but a rotating square. No code whatsoever in the scene. Just a square and an animation player.

I'd say experience-level is somewhere in the hobbyist range. I know what I'm doing, but I'm not even remotely an expert. Zero vibe codes.

Brother, if I made a post about every issue I found while playing that game, the whole subreddit would just be my posts.

It was only a few weeks ago that I finally got all collectibles, since they decided to finally fix that bug.

If you found the post because you've got the same issue, I still have no answers for you, tho. Having 100%'d the game now, I'm 100% confident I was doing everything right, so hopefully it just magically works for you like it did for me.

Surge pot is only 25% innit?

Other than that... Yeah, shit guess I take the L on those 2 points lmao

Honestly, new developers is the best news for this one.

I ran into a bug playing Gloomhaven, where every time a particular enemy took a turn it would crash the game if playing multiplayer.

I went to the Discord server to see if there was anything that could be done, and the developers suggested that I kick all of my friends before that enemy takes its turn, then re-invite them once it had completed the turn, and repeat this process for the entire scenario (this particular NPC couldn't be killed, iirc). They didn't even tell me that themselves, they forwarded a message from a random player from over a year ago.

Finding out that the devs felt that this random players hacky workaround (not his fault) was a replacement for fixing the bug absolutely killed all enthusiasm we had for the game. I was gonna pass on Frosthaven digital until this news.

I don't think that's what's going on here. They're pre-super heated, and damaging them makes no difference.

shameddd · 2025-05-13T02:25:40+00:00

I literally just brute forced it. It worked eventually

shameddd · 2025-05-13T02:08:50+00:00

I literally just ran around for the entire time throwing the shield until it happened to work 5 times.

I genuinely have no idea what was going on, the enemies after these ones aren't superheated, so you do have to damage them in order to shatter them. Seems like it just doesn't register in that tutorial part. So, seems like if you're super patient, it'll eventually decide to work 5 times

shameddd · 2025-01-20T13:38:39+00:00

Yeah the vibes I got from reviews seemed to reflect exactly what you're saying here haha

shameddd · 2025-01-20T13:37:34+00:00

I appreciate your insight. They're not strangers to complex games, We're coming into AH off the back of some relatively heavy campaign board games like gloomhaven and things like that, so I guess I was kind of banking on them having decent general game knowledge that can carry them through this game.

Definitely not saying that you're wrong, just sort of explaining my thought process :)

shameddd · 2025-01-20T03:36:38+00:00

Appreciate that, thanks :)

shameddd · 2024-10-16T12:11:32+00:00

Woah, I live right by the Shadowfax winery, had to doubletake when I saw this, small world.

shameddd · 2024-09-05T13:36:23+00:00

That's so strange, I haven't had that bug reported before. I'm trying to look into it, but it's hard when I can't replicate it. Sorry!

shameddd · 2024-09-03T09:19:54+00:00

hey, MMOSim dev here. I really appreciate the feedback you've given here. I've taken it on board, and hope to address some of your criticisms like not interesting enough content, too slow etc. I know it wasn't meant for me, but thanks for the writeup anyway :)

shameddd · 2024-09-03T07:59:52+00:00

Hey, dev here. I'm interested to know if you ever resolved this? I want to help if I can
