I am quite in favor of this effort. But I do wonder, what exactly about this Resource-in-Memory-Patch file makes the bug go away? Logically, I would assume one or more files in the last Legacy Patch messed up something in the _seb module, but what exactly? It should surely be possible to extrapolate that and then just override the faulty file, no? Although I guess the fact we don't have all the FNV Dump data for the patch files might complicate matters admittedly.
sorry for the late reply. good point, and it was one i tried. sadly, simply trying to override the corrupted file in the mods folder wasn't working. only this worked. it's annoying, but it is what it is, i guess. the things we gotta do, the hoops we gotta jump through, just to have a stable game sometimes is wild. xP
When it happened I just had to hit Esc and the game continued (I hit it accidentally), then started Loading... again, hit Esc again and no further problems occured. I downloaded this fix just in case. Thank you!
Haven't tried this yet but I am sure it works. So thanks for it! What about the Faith quest in Act 3? It has a similar issue like Repentance if memory serves. Can you fix that too using the same method?
i've honestly never heard of that one before. never had it happen to me before in all the years i've played... :c i wouldn't know how to go about getting it to successfully freeze at that spot, when i have never even had it freeze there before, to even be able to try and fix it... :c i checked the wiki page and it doesn't mention anything about this particular bug. any posts i find on reddit mention it being an old patch bug that was fixed already with the newer patch... so i am stumped on ideas how to recreate this bug. i would gladly fix it if i could get the bug to successfully recreate.
What do you mean by when you say that the wiki doesn't mention this bug? I see it at the bottom of the page here https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Faith_(quest) And it happened in my recent playthrough earlier this year, I use the latest version of the game to replay DA2. Had to temporarily delete the directory Addins\da2_prc_drk\module\ in order to avoid the bug and then once I was done with the game I put it back.
oof... sorry about that. sometimes my adhd jumbles my brain. i will read one thing, then read another thing, but my brain will get stuck on that first thing, so the information i read about that second thing gets lost to the wind. xD i will see if i can recreate the issue to try and fix it.
edit: i just can't get it to freeze there... u.u i use the newest EA app. do you use that too? trying to understand why this won't freeze for me.
I have the game on Steam and I played it last time in March this year actually (just checked my save file). That's when the bug occurred so I went to the wiki to see if it's a known thing cause I was making some mods for DA2 myself at the time. Saw that it was and Repentance was mentioned on the same page too.
Maybe Faith is not happening as often as Repentance is so it's not as well known? Currently don't have the game installed nor do I have a save file before that happens to send for you to test :/ I suppose in a future playthrough if it happens again I'll send that save file here just in case if you are still around.
