Summary​

The Eternal Court - Quest Bug

Unable to explore the Tomb of the Lost Mother on the 'Web of Madness' quest to complete the scenario. In both saves the NPC Sylvani Laurel has settled by the wonder, and it shows as cleared both times (though not annexed on 2nd try).

Start Web of Madness quest.
Travel to Tomb of the Lost Mother (seen around turn 25+)
Tomb of the Lost Mother is explored, and cannot be interacted with.

Hi Banterbot! Thank you for the bug report and sorry for the inconvenience this caused.

I have "fixed" your save game so you can still complete the story path, though you unfortunately do miss the bit of the story happening on that tomb wonder. If the save complains about a different game version when loading that should be fine, just hit yes to load it anyway

Also, do you still have a save from earlier in that session? Ideally even from the game start?
I could not yet find out how the Tomb ended up explored (but it was not an AI player) and taking a look at the game start would be of great help here.

Thank you!

Hi folks, I've had the bug described above happen twice in a row now. It should be noted that in both cases Melenis had an outpost right next to the tomb. I have no mods and no dlc.

Here's a set of save files including Game Start, with the final one being labelled "Tomb Bug Demo".

Best,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume, thanks a lot for sharing those save games
I now found the problem and fixed it in our dev build (the Tomb failed to create its defenders when playing the mission on Hard difficulty). Unfortunately the fix is too late for our next upcoming patch, but it will then be added to the patch thereafter.

Below I fixed your final save the same way I did for the other player. So unfortunately you still miss part of the story that plays out in the tomb itself, but at least you can continue and still complete the story path this way.

Best regards,
Eomolch

Thanks! Good luck with the rest of season 2.

I was bummed that this happened to me as well but I'm glad it has been investigated and fixed! Quick question, would the patch fix my current save that has the bug or would I need to redo the story realm when the patch drops? Thank you!

 

[Eomolch]

Hi RunningTwo! Sorry to hear this has affected you too. Unfortunately the bug materializes at the mission start, since this is when the Ancient Wonder tries to spawn its defenders, but fails. So the upcoming patch will only fix this for new sessions, not for ones already affected by it.

However if you share your save game I could fix it the same way I did for the others before. With the caveat of missing the story of the tomb.
Else I'm afraid you would have to restart the mission after the next patched dropped (which will be after easter afaik).

Best regards,
Eomolch

 

[RunningTwo]

If it's not too much of a hassle for you to fix, that would be great! Thank you so much.

 

[Eomolch]

Here you go, RunningTwo!
Also, since multiple people got this, I'm leaving screenshots of the tomb events here in a spoiler, so you can read up on what you missed.

Spoiler: Tom of the Lost Mother

 

[RunningTwo]

Wow thank you so much! Pleasure to support a game with devs like you. Have a great day!

 

[Eomolch]

Happy to help, always pains me to see someone stuck with a story bug.

Thanks, you too have a great weekend!

Hello, after reading through this thread thank you for being an attentive dev!! If it is not that big of a deal I also have the same issue. Thank you very much!

 

[Eomolch]

Hi Wiggie12, sorry about the late reply, I was away on Easter vacation.

But here is your fixed save game now, hope it still helps!

 

[Daggial]

Hello!
Same exact issue here, can u please fix my save file?
Thanks

 

[Eomolch]

Yes, I can

 

[Daggial]

Yes, I can

Wow so quick, thank you very much.
Somehow it immediatly promped the end of the game? I never actually interacted with the tomb itself (i did walked up to it)

 

[Eomolch]

You should have gotten a story event featuring Meandor when loading the save?
I unfortunately cannot fully fix the bug in live games; I could just complete that part of the quest for you. I included spoilers in one of my above posts where you can read the part of the story you miss that way.

Hello,

I have the same problem as the others, the tomb of the lost mother is already completed before I could complete it. I have read the thread and read the screenshot I have missed, in this save I am one turn before completing the second objective (currently sieging the free city of the father), if you could make the same fix for me that you did for the others so I don't miss the narration, it would be very nice

So far I'm pretty addicted to the game, I really love the narration and immersion possibility of our own faction so it'd be a bummer to complete this story quest in another way

Thanks and have a good day

 

[Eomolch]

Hi Patriarche, thanks for reaching out
Here is your fixed save game!
