As the title says: casting the blood ritual in the sanctuary in level 5 doesn't move and remains at 0%. Restarting the game doesn't help. Old bugs that persists even after patch 1.3.


Thank you.

Windows 10, fully updated.

I have tried restarting the level, following advice on old forum threads about handling the first wave of dwarves first and made sure my cultists have all their needs fulfilled and all geared for worship, still stuck at 0%.

I actually tried to replicate this on the internal build, but the issue does not occur for me here.


Interestingly, there actually seem to be two "first waves" - the first one (two sappers, one templar) when the mentor urges you to use the Quickfreeze potion on them, and a second one (two sappers, one templar) after the Crackpot is introduced.

I tried handling the first wave, the second wave, went over everything I could think of - the issue persists. I wonder what's so different between my version and yours, it's frustrating.

At this point I would settle for a simple savegame that starts at level 6 and be done with it.

Then this means that I bought a malfunctioning product and I demand a refund. I expect someone to deal this, I will not just vanish quietly about this

No, it means that you've bought a product which functions fine for everyone else and have found a way to make it to break it which we cannot reproduce. Unless you can give us clear instructions on how we can reproduce the issue we can't fix it.


We've even gone as far as playing the level with Fog of War disabled in order to check that no enemies are getting lost or anything. Since we're able to play and complete the level just fine (by following the objectives and killing the enemies as intended), my personal guess is that you didn't follow the objective chain correctly, or that an enemy got lost somewhere meaning the next objective which starts the ritual's progressing is never activated.


I'd suggest you try and fresh start of the level, (not loading a save game) and play through, following the objectives to the letter and seeing if that gets you through, if not then see if you can find us some reproduction steps to re-create the issue.


But without something more concrete than guesswork there isn't anything we can do to help i'm afraid.

Right, because my version is somehow different than everyone else's? Look, this isn't a crash or a graphical glitch which might indicate an issue with my OS or PC. This is not due to any sort of corrupted file either, thanks to Steam's consistency verification check for games installations.


This is a clear gameplay bug.


Which oh-so-complicated objective chain didn't I follow, the "kill the dwarves", followed by the the "activate the ritual by clicking the icon" one, or vice versa?


I already tried restarting the level. Multiple times. With the exact same results each time.


Please at least try to find ways to help, other than blaming it on the stupid user and closing the bug as a 'DECLINED' in my face.


Thanks.
