I just loaded the save the game made at the start of the quest Homecoming and my horse is gone. This happen a lot?

By the way, can someone explain combos to me? I've been holding off on getting any combos (I use a longsword and mace, if that impacts which ones I should get) since the game doesn't seem to explain performing them, anywhere.
Like, am I meant to perform all the clicks for slashes/stabs rapidly, or should I be waiting until each blow lands (or is blocked) before performing the next?

I killed my first bandit! I actually really like the rhythm and heft of the combat system.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:

Yeah I'm on SSD too and . . . I think it's killed my playthrough. I load my most recent save, try to save again, it hangs infinitely and the save doesn't take. I don't think it's memory related though because I dropped and sold a bunch of my extra poo poo and it kept occurring.

You want to execute the next input when the previous strike lands. The windows are kind of funny though and I feel like I am attempting the stab-left-low right combo more than I am actually landing it and getting the different animation

Is the 2 hour refund window sufficient enough to demo this game with? This doesn’t seem like something that shows all its cards at once. Which isn’t bad because some of my favorite games took time to click. But I’m the context of steam refunds it’s a pretty significant gamble.

Can you imagine how interesting a game like Kingdom Come could be with a female character that faces opposition in every act and discussion she faces, and not only fights against sword and pike, but also the raging male supremacy of the time? That'd be pretty baller imho. There's also a really good argument made for giving minority and other-than-straight guys and gals the chance to identify with their characters, and not stomp all over games with sparkly clean straight white guys in the name of "biotruths and history" that don't seem to hold against closer observation anyway.

Ever heard of Makouraino? Matilda of Tuscany? Jeanne Hachette? loving Isabella of France? Queen Rudrama Devi? Blanche of Castile? Razia Sultana? Mercadera? Matilda of Boulogne? Isabel of Conches?

Hello Guys,

There clearly seems to be some confusion about various patch versions, for which we are very sorry, so let us explain it a little bit.

The Process

When we finish any patch we can’t just upload it and send it to you immediately. There is a certification phase in which platform holders check whether the patch is stable. This process takes various amounts of time on different platforms. This is the reason why the patches are released at different times.

However, they check not only stability but also platform-specific requirements, for example, whether the controllers are named correctly, whether you can change user mid-gameplay etc. If we fail any of these platform-specific requirements, we have to upload a correction just for that specific platform. This is the reason why we are releasing a different number of patches on each platform.

Patch Numbers

We don’t have any control of patch version numbers that you see when downloading. These are numbers assigned by platform holder and they could vary in different regions, languages etc. So if you want to be sure which version you have installed, launch the game and in the main menu check the bottom left corner. That’s the right patch version.

The patches

Apart from the micro-corrections for specific platforms, these are the patches released:

Gold master – Version 1.0 This was printed on DVDs. You could only have played it on consoles if you rejected all the patches. We strongly advise against that

Day 1 patch – Version 1.1

This was available on all platforms on Day 1. This is also the version the game was reviewed on (unless the reviewer declined the patch, which, sadly, some did…) These are the release notes:
Addition of multiple new events to the open world
Massive improvement in dialogue animations
Gaining money and experience is rebalanced
Weapon and armor stats are rebalanced
General combat improvements Improved NPC reaction time
Sound propagation adjusted
Archery is now possible in stealth mode Improved
Persuasion UI
Plus numerous other bug fixes and improvements

Week 1 patch – Version 1.2

We actually managed to squeeze this patch into Steam on Day 1, which caused major confusion on other platforms as to whether they actually received the Day 1 patch or not. This patch was later released on PlayStation on 15.2. and should pass certification on Xbox very soon. These are the release notes:
Stealth and Stealth kills adjustment
People now get dirty more gradually
Additional quest bugs fixed
Various optimizations

Hotfix – Version 1.2.5 (upcoming)

We already fixed some of the worst bugs and want to give these fixes to the community as fast as possible. Therefore we will push this to certification on Monday 2/19
Fix for R2 button being non-responsive in combat
Fix for issues in quests with Hans Capon
Fix for quest Ginger in a Pickle

Patch 1.3 - (upcoming)

This is the patch we are currently working on. It hasn’t been released on any platform yet. It’s mainly focused on bug-fixing as we are studiously going through every player report, watching every stream we can and fixing all the bugs as fast as possible. But apart from these fixes, we are working on the following features: (Which is not a guarantee of delivery in this patch ):
Save and Exit functionality
Lockpicking minigame controls improvement on controllers
Pickpocket minigame improvement
Alchemy recipe for respec potion
Many quest-related bug fixes

We truly want to thank you guys for being the best part of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Stay tuned and as always, keep it medieval!!!

I noticed this happening too and I assumed it was because my most recent save was in Rattay, where there's just a lot of dang stuff to load before the game can start. Is it happening in the wilds, too?

There seem to be dice you can find that are not, ah, exactly, um, statistically "true"

As I start to dig into the game it really seems like they need to do a balancing pass on gear. The preorder bonus stuff seems like it may be some of the best in the game and it isn't hard to obtain at all -- highest damage sword I've yet seen, best helmet, best cuirass.

I did not realize you could click on items in the equipment screen and it would give a comparison red/blue against your current equipped gear though.

If you don't have the preorder gear, there's a gear cache with an amazing longsword and a cache of top-end armor in an unlocked chest northeast of Neuhof at an empty camp.

Neurosis posted:

how do these compare to herod's sword? the damage listed for that is 75, can't remember what the breakdown of damage types is

LGD posted:

very, very easily you can just walk off the drawbridge

e: you also don't have to feel that bad about the theft since both the lady of the castle and the guard on duty condone/suggest doing so if you talk to them, and nobody raises a stink about it later if you're successful

https://kingdom-come-deliverance.vidyawiki.com/Herod's+Sword

Herod is a good slasher , Stinger (preorder) is great piercer, St. George is good overall

Neurosis posted:

links don't work. ah well, sounds like i haven't missed out too much by only having access to herod's. i've seen stinger dropped here and there but didn't think it particularly worthwhile. still trying to find a good blunt weapon. i hope any dlc adds two-handed swords, more fully developed polearms, and crossbows. also that it fixes the lock-on thing but given how hard they seem to work to stop you from taking off lock-on it might be a serious issue in getting the enemy to react properly when locked on

Buschmaki posted:

Will people react negatively if you wear cuman stuff? I just got the light armor perk and cuman armor seems to be the most protective and coolest looking non-plate stuff

Hieronymous Alloy posted:

Fixed the links. The same cache that has St. George's also has

https://kingdom-come-deliverance.vidyawiki.com/Raven%27s+Beak

Neither of those are preorder.

Here's a tough question for folks: has anyone seen a Skallitz pattern shield? The game files seem to indicate such exists.

Neurosis posted:

thanks. hans capon is carrying around the best sword in the game?! you've grown on me, hans, but you do not deserve that sword

What level of Maintenance do you need to be able to repair damaged armour? I'm up to 8 but I still can't repair so much as a Skullcap/55%.

destitute posted:

This has come up a few times, and most solutions I’ve seen here have implied needing lockpicks or taking a long walk.

If you take the stairs up to the third floor of the castle, (so one floor above where Stephanie sits and reads) and keep walking along the wooden platform, you’ll come to a door into a five? story tower. The second floor from the top has an unlocked chest with enough gear to make you look like a Talmberg guard. I even went back down to Stephanie and spoke to her, and got her congratulations on a convincing disguise, and she gave me a plausible cover story for the gate guard. Rode my horse right out the front gate.

I love how people keep finding new ways to solve the quests. If there is one thing the devs did right in this game, it is giving you so much freedom to complete your quests. I would love to see this in more RPGs in the future.

I wonder how the Cezch are feeling now that a part of their history has become a very successful game. Some of those ingame towns still exist today.

Coldforge posted:

There’s only so much you can fix with field repairs. Once it drops below 60ish percent, you need to take it to a swordsmith/armorer/tailor/cobbler for repair.

Repair your kit after every fight, basically.
