-1 HP Enemies

-1 HP Enemies

So I decided to jump back into The Witcher 3 since my PC was fully functional now.... after installing and updating to 1.10 i noticed a few things:

- Some enemies appear with " -1 HP" and i can't hit them, they just stand there doing nothing.

-Also broom model is broken , either it is invisible or looks like some weird thing.... also there's this bridge in Novigrad that lack any kind of texture ....

I was able to deal with -1 hp enemies by simply ignoring, them problem is i can't get to skellige since some pirates attack the ship and a few of them have -1 HP , meaning i'm stuck untill there's a fix : /

Since it's been months sicne i last played TW3 i'm unawere if this is a common thing or not

here are some screenshots

yes I have the same bug when going to skellige for first time

More people having this problem, and look like it's random enemies that are affected by this, if it's mod, I don't know because there isn't mods that changes enemies health and something to get them bugged...

 

[SigilFey]

It's a very well-known issue, and it has nothing to do with mods. I play vanilla and get this from time to time.

Yeah, I tried disabling all of them but nothing, are you playing ng+?

 

[SigilFey]

Nope. Was on my 3rd normal playthrough when the issue started.

I refer to them as "pacifists" now. Not playing all that much anymore, anyway. I'll probably wait for a while until the DLC is released and the bugs are ironed out then hit it again. (Plugging along through Pillars of Eternity right now, actually, so kudos to your avatar.)

I cannot advance the main quest arc because of this bug. There are assassins in the bath house in the Get Junior quest that bug like this (2 of them) and you have to defeat the assassins to advance the quest . Guess I will wander around the countryside for a bit until this gets fixed.

 

[oxymarrow]

Can't find a pattern here, seens to be random enemies that get this bug...

 

[SigilFey]

It's wholly random in my experience. I first encountered it with Nithral at the end of the Wandering in the Dark quest after loading an old save to check the raining indoors during cutscenes bug. His dialogue wouldn't play and he just stood in the room and did nothing. Upon loading a save after the fight, his "corpse" was standing there at attention instead of being on the floor.

Started a new game and sped-ran (...speedran...spedrun...speedrunned...wtf-ever) to the same point and had no issues at all. Since then, I get it fairly regularly with brigands. The one thing I'm noticing is a pattern of it cropping up (at least more often) in existing saves. I don't think I've seen it at all yet on the new speedrun game I've started, but I'm not really playing that.

 

[oxymarrow]

Looks like I'll to make a save every time before a quest now, great, I haven't this shit bugs before...
If I'll need to wait for a shit patch, well, after FO4 release I don't think I'll see this game again for a long time...

Verify your Game cache with GOG/Steam.

This is the first thing someone will do to fix something...

Yeah...! You can just...jump right in to the the latest Fallout...from a company renowned for extremely stable and bug-free titles...

Honestly, you'll probably find yourself coming back to fiddle with TW3 bugs as a break from the full-time job of troubleshooting a new Bethesda release. :wacko:

Maybe, but seriously, I haven't get this kind of bug where I have to literally stop playing and wait for a patch, modders could easily fix this in Bethesda games, because it's simple.
But anyway, I expect some bugs on it but nothing like this.

 

[RageGT]

I haven't experienced this bug yet in NG and been playing non-stop since game launch, including 1.10 update but it seems the type of bug that a simple reload will fix, like many other issues I encountered that a save/reload fixes. I might be wrong. Haven't started any NG+ run after 1.10 though so I can't say that it won't happen there as it seems some issues only happens in NG+. But no one mentioned that reloading an earlier save fixes the issue or does nothing so, I'm curious about it.

 

[oxymarrow]

Someone make other topic about this and have the same issue in a non ng+ playthrough, I tried literally everything, less reloading a earlier save because when I see those enemies I just jump to another quest, but now it's a monster from the main quest, can't continue playing.

 

[SigilFey]

It definitely seems to stick once it happens. If I save/reload, they're still -1 and very, very calm. So, it seems that if you're hit with it, the only thing you can do is reload a save from much earlier and play through the area again, hoping it doesn't happen a second time.

Now, that being said, I should mention that I haven't seen it a lot, but I also haven't been playing that much. I do know that it occurs on both regular games and NG+.

I hear you, but maybe I'm just more used to it. I've actually had to shelve every single Bethesda game except Fallout 3 and Skyrim because of the level of bugs. In fact, I just automatically assume that if I buy a new title, I'll eventually hit a game-stopping bug.

I can list the games I've played over my life that did not contain major bugs, glitches, and/or crashes at release (for me, at least):

Warcraft 2
Starcraft
Myth, The Fallen Lords
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight
All of the Lucasarts Adventures (Day of the Tentacle, Sam'n'Max, Full Throttle, The Dig...)
Soulbringer
Out of This World
and
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

To finish every other game I've ever played, I've needed to patch it, use a workaround or exploit, or shelve it at some point. (I still say that Ultima VII, Darklands, and Operation Flashpoint were the worst of the worst. [I bought Darklands when I was a sophomore in high school. I was never able to actually play and finish it until the year after I graduated from university. That's gotta be some sad kind of record.])

The Get Junior quest seems to cause all kinds of problems. For me, it also happened at one of the subquests, where some guy named Zdened is engaged in a fight with three bandits who never die. It didn't really affect my progress, but it sure as hell was frustrating to hear all the people screaming and having Geralt get into battle position every time I was running by.

 

[Kosomoko]

It has happened to me all over the place.... Get Junior, Boat to Skellige also bugs, so I can't jump over to there to progress. The Cat gear treasure hunt also bugs when I get to the guy under the Temple Isle. Have had a few area on the map where it has happened as well (bandits seem particularly apt to doing this). Running out of things to do at this point as I have probably cleared about 75% of the map.

Any news about this issue guys?
