@Nafeij

Hey, i was not referring to you, man!

I was referring to the different versioning of Steam/GoG/Twitch whatever.

Hi Guys,

First of all I appreciate the effort that went into making this pack. I'm currently replaying the Sagas building up to TBS3 and I've noticed two issues while playing.

1. Upon importing a save with many unleveled heroes all were promptly promoted to lvl 3 (as usual) with the associated stat points. Nid however for some reason got an additional 6 or 8 stat points beyond what her level should've allowed.
2. Is it normal that the caravan losses in the battles are in the hundreds? I'm playing on hard, winning with zero or 1 injury and the screen says I lost over a 100 clansmen and tens of fighters and varl every time. It's been a while since I played TBS2 so I don't remember if it was always the case but it's such a stark difference from TBS1 were I had single losses with comparable battle performance.

Hi there, Irynx's wing Bolverk is looking for you!

Both the issues you raised a known. The first one is certainly an "import bug" (hopefully fixed soon); the second one is maybe an intended behavior (for Hard difficulty) nasty as it might seem. You can email these to support(at)stoicstudio(dot)com if you like, to "bump" the issues in their to-do list.

Hi Aleonymous, thanks for the reply.

I trudged on with TBS2 and finished it today (while using the fixpack). Two more issues reared their heads.

- Achievements stopped registering on Steam even though I had earned in-game renown for them. Side-issue is that, for some reason, the "3 kills with hero" achievements triggered multiple times during the playthrough for the same hero class, but hey - free renown .
- Some time after promoting Ro'Ech to level 6 his actives got messed up. In the first battle after promotion everything was fine but then mule kick disappeared and was replaced by level 3 trample and he was left with only one active on level 6.

Should I also e-mail Stoic with these or are these caused my the mod?

Hello again.

The achievement mess-up could have been caused by the mod. YaK would know. Throwing him a line on Discord.

The Horseborn hero ability mess after Rank 5>6 promotion is a known issue, unrelated to the mod You can manually fix by editing your save game...

Thanks for this! The GOG version is 2.48.10. The only patch that works with it is v141, linked in post #76. With other versions, the game crashes.

[eierfrucht]

Current version is 2.61.02

Is there any chance / word from YaK if this wonderful community fix will receive any updates?

[Aleonymous]

We'll have to hear it from the man himself, but my general impression is maybe negative

[Neptanto]

Are those fixpacks still functional now at least? If not, then what adjustments are necessary to make them functional? Maybe some workaround? After all, there weren't too many changes in those latest updates.
