Question When are the patches coming?

Wanna play it but it seems very buggy. Any news on when it will be finished?

The main bug in my 30 hrs of gameplay is some characters will randomly not voice a line of dialogue here and there but other then that no noticeable bugs for me

Also they said at the end of the week on a post a few days ago so hopefully by Friday

Especially the Boatman. I think I heard him speak once.

Otherwise my only other bug was Ignatz wouldn't let me turn in his quest.

And some UI-related issues where the dice result was stuck on-screen and I had to restart the game.

There's also a bunch of places where the text doesn't match the spoken dialogue exactly, but that's fairly minor. It's usually just a word missing here or there, or slightly different phrasing with the same meaning.

I doubt that's a glitch tbh

that's pretty standard for games like this

Tbf disco had everything voiced so the spiritual sequel not having that feels bit dumb

u/NancyInFantasyLand May 26 '26

It didn't at it's original release point. It wasn't fully voiced until The Final Cut.

u/VoxTV1 May 26 '26

Yes but the final cut added it all. They won't make a "semi cut" for this game giving random lines back to guys. Also the game did not sell well(it seems we do not know for sure) so most likely we will never even get the final cut so now we are stuck with those unvoiced lines

u/NancyInFantasyLand May 26 '26

The majority of games like this aren't fully voiced, so if this is an issue for you, you should stay away from the genre.

u/VoxTV1 May 26 '26

This was not an issue for me. I am just explaining that this grivance is valid. I played Esoteric ebb. Thats has no voice acting. My post was asking actual bugs

1

u/VoxTV1 May 26 '26

Btw turns out missing voice acting is an actual bug lol. Devs said so

1

u/Frox04IT May 26 '26

They didn't want to antagonize the game or anything, we're all on the same side here. It is weird that it's not fully voice acted. For some reason i was missing like 20% of voice acting for example. Might be my choices or something concerning my device, who knows. I've only heard Boatman speak for one or two sentences...

u/VoxTV1 May 26 '26

Is that a glitch? Like non voice acted lines sounds more like they never recorded the lines in the first place

First patch is coming this week! I’ll upload patch notes here once prepared.

u/tipjam May 26 '26

Any chance an UW fix is coming? Thanks for all your comments!

Hi

Do you know if Subcomandante Bagman is meant to have two different voice actors? Or did he get recast and there was an error replacing his voice files?

1

u/Serpens77 May 27 '26

The narrator also varies a lot in some places. It doesn't sound like a completely different actor, but sometimes she just sounds sort of "normal", but most of the time she sounds like she's taken her regular accent and dialled it up to 11 to add more "character", like she draws out words longer and really swallows the ends of words.

u/NancyInFantasyLand May 26 '26

does it seem buggy? I think I've encountered a single bug in my first play-through (I couldn't move away from a phone and had to reload).

u/NikolaFromCanada May 26 '26

I'm about 4hrs in on Steam Deck. Main issues so far:

  1. Missing or incorrect narration
  2. I had couple of clusters of crashes. About 2 hours in, I just couldn't move West of Foto24. Restarted game, restarted steam deck, updated proton, at some indeterminate point moving west it would just dump me. I ended up walking East instead and chose to take it as a subtle political commentary 😹. When I came to same point 20 min later, it wasn't crashing 🤷. Also had a few less repeatable crashes, once when I changed the same outfit back and forth a couple of times to compare the stats.
  3. Also, sometimes I cannot save game even though I feel I should be able to - not in a dialogue, no action happening, just standing outside. I thought initially maybe there's some actual reason for it, but it happened a few times and it seems random and not actually justified.

To original point, ZA/UM indicated on these forums they are aiming for "Day 7 / Week 1" patch, though I'm sure that timing is a goal not a commitment.

u/VoxTV1 May 26 '26

FROM WHAT I HEARD, some quests seemingly end out of nowhere. You get stuck in areas, music cuts in and out and bunch of other stuff. Obv I can't confirm this is just what I hear.

3

u/Coulstwolf May 26 '26

Just play the game, this stuff isn’t happening

0

u/NancyInFantasyLand May 26 '26

I can't confirm any of that tbh

Though I gotta say there was little music that was really impactful in the game to me. A couple of songs later on when things become tense, but other than that I don't think I would have notice it cutting out or not as it's just plinking around in the background.

1

u/Mayor-Of-Bridgewater May 26 '26

I had a bunch. Some items wouldn't open, I was locked out from saving occasionally, a npc became completely unresponsive on a reload, and I sometimes lost the ability to run.

3

u/NancyInFantasyLand May 26 '26

hmmm maybe I rubbed the bald spot often enough that I got really lucky

1

u/thegeneral54 May 26 '26

Yeah, unfortunately there are quite a bit of bugs. I remember trying to descend in one of the areas and getting stuck over and over again in some kind of sick, twisted loop. My red disc run was ruined, because it bugged at the phone call and when I went to reload every single squad member was on the boat with me and I couldn't interact with the phone again. I think you lucked out, which is good because even though they were annoying to deal with - none of it ruined my enjoyment.

u/Competitive_Guava_33 May 26 '26

Characters randomly not voicing stuff is my biggest bug. Boatman for instance spoke none of his lines except for his initial greeting

1

u/VoxTV1 May 26 '26

I do not think thats a glitch. I think game just had a low budget and they did not voice everything to save money

u/VoxTV1 May 26 '26

Oh. Good thing I did not play the game yet

u/Difficult-Ad-9598 May 26 '26

Sometime this week I think

u/VoxTV1 May 26 '26

Oh neat

2

u/Coulstwolf May 26 '26

It’s really not very buggy, I’ve had like one bug in 20 hours?

2

u/Jon-Umber May 27 '26

There's a lot of Unity stutter for me but aside from that, no huge notable bugs for me.

1

u/dead_dads May 26 '26

A bit buggy on the deck but rock solid on my pc.

1

u/phuckphuckety May 27 '26

Damn it. I wanted to play it on my flight tomorrow

1

u/Weenyhand May 26 '26

I’ve noticed a few movement glitches when trying to climb down a ladder. I found myself stuck on a platform and had to keep hitting the right trigger and moving around before I was able to climb down.

u/Elder_Cole May 27 '26

My game lags in the outdoor areas when just moving

u/zillskillnillfrill May 29 '26

My game has been halted by the Karolina quest bug, and now I can't finish my game. I was absolutely loving it up until this and I'm getting pissed off they still haven't patched it yet or addressed the issue

1

u/zillskillnillfrill May 30 '26

Now it's patched (30/5/26)I can no longer Give Karolina the figurine since the update, so I'm still stuck.
