Unofficial Arcanum Patch

This is the thread for bug reports, arguments, complaints, etc. Keep it all here, I'll be watching this thread, collecting bug reports and responding from time to time.

For more info on the project go to the thread at the RPG Codex.

 

A typo in the orc bandit random encounters. "Third" was written as "Thrid".

 

Oiled Thieves Leather seems to not give the pickpocket bonus from the description, at least for my human firearms master... Excellent work by the way, I am really enjoying it!

 

An important typo it was! Thanks.

You must be wearing gauntlets, almost all of them have a pickpocket penalty.

 

Vorak brought these to my attention, so I'll pass them on.

The Junk dealer is currently using #1814 Inventor dialog instead of #1994 Junk Dealer.

 

These are already fixed in the currently available version.

Fixed, thanks.

 

So, my last post made me feel kinda stupid, not even thinking about gauntlets (which were on the character), but this I just checked with a new character tonight...

The general store merchant (Captain's Quarters) in Black Root does not get up properly to tend his store. Meaning if you arrive at night, and then wait (or sleep) until day, he will be up, but standing in the middle of his bed rather than tending shop.

 

I had this bug a few times, but it seems to be random. Even if it happens, you can wait a day, and he then goes to bed at night and tends his store at day just fine. Some people also reported a similar bug with Gilbert Bates standing on his bed in the middle of night. Most likely these are results of poor pathfinding.

 

The new version is out!

The new version fixes many problems with music, items descriptions and random encounters among other things. Also there's some important restored content: Vendigroth's music track and Virgil's dialogue about Lawrence Brummond's newspaper. I was unsure about the fate of the Vendigroth track (I was pondering if they left it out because it was just disliked), but after reading Ben Houge's comments on the OST I became sure that they just forgot about it.

The full list of changes is as follows:

-Removed two red pixels in Light Wood Door's art.
-Level scaling is back, but now you get random encounters after levels 45-49 as well.
-There's a chance that orcish bandits in random encounters will have an ogre in their group now. (This wasn't working before because of a typo).
-Fixed scripts of Molochean Hand Assasins, Orc Bandits and Bates' Bounty Hunters. You won't be caught in neverending dialogue loop anymore if you try to control their mind.
-Fixed wrongs stats on a number of orcs and ogres' prototypes. Summoned orcs and ogres aren't considered monsters anymore.
-Vendigroth's music track is restored.
-Fixed music issues in the part of Tarant around the library, Caladon's docks, the boat landing on Thanatos, the Ruby Glade, Ashlag Village and Stringy Pete's Cove.
-Fixed three typos in Thom Grak's dialogue.

A lot of sectors have been updated, thus devastating compatibility with old saves. Old saves will cause many crashes and hang-ups. Don't even try.

The Extra Pack has been updated as well:
-Fixed incompatibility issues with the current version of the UAP.
-Restored the conversation of Virgil and Maug.

By the way, you should fix the several typos in the game with "you're" and "your". It seems as though Troika's scripters didn't know English well enough, since in many, many dialogues it uses "you're" instead of "your".

 

Great, now I have to start all my characters over - a perfect excuse for playing again! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!
