BG:EE Multiplayer - Game freezed in pause mode before FAI's Gate and at the Temple

Hi,

Current behavior: We were playing multiplayer BG:EE. As we reached the front gate for FAI the game said pausing for loading movie, then it freezed in paused mode. This is an other failure caused by the missing movies. (Like sleeping in Inns or at the Mine - see other topics). We just went to the Fr. Ar. Inn. main Gate, at before the bridge it just happened.

Expected behavior: Game not crushing; playing the old (YES!) or the new replacement movie (boooring) instead.


(It was advertised at the main page, that all movies will be replaced. Still after the launch it is nowhere mentioned, that the half of the movies are missing and this is causing bugs in Multiplayer - not be able to sleep in Inns and at the Mine. I wished the old movies remained, but OK, if we can watch them too later in the Movies section of the game Menu.)

    I was playing with my friend in multiplayer, and encountered 2 bugs.

    When we slept in the Friendly Arms Inn, the game paused, no video of sleeping came up, and we were unable to remove the pause, neither save or do anything.

    The other, I was in the character status screen when my friend saved, and my game crashed, and said to him I left the game.

    //And also in multiplayer I'm always seeing my friends characters hitting animation when they stop walking or talk to someone.

    Had the same issue at the Friendly Arms Inn in multiplayer, we rested and got "Paused for resting screen" but could not unpause the game.

    Same thing happened to me- was playing multiplayer and the game perma-pauses in the inn. I've tried both the Inn with the thieving halfling in Beregost as well as the Friendly Arm. Camping seems to work, but we don't feel like dealing with not being able to sleep in cities...

    #2 Crash tonight:

    Current behavior: the game had this pause lock in multiplayer, we were at the Temple area (just East from Beregost), sun sets, it says "paused for loading video", and then freezes.

    Expected behavior: not to freeze at sunset / nightfall.
  • Sese79Sese79 Member Posts: 478
    The Multiplayer game is hardly playable. We freeze in every place where a nightfall / sunset video is set, or another movie was there earlier. We can't read the Journal because we can't scroll to the top. (We missed some entries.) We can't read what people say to us, only if we scroll to the top in chatboxes, don't know why but the text is appearing wrongly (the first line goes over the top of the chatbox). Meh, it was horrible to play yesterday. I loved this game so much :(

    Is this still around after the newest patch (applied by all multiplayers).
  • Sese79Sese79 Member Posts: 478
    Hadn't tried out yet, because the possible bugs the 2nd update is causing. (I read it on the Forum that many posts from the Journal are gone, and graphic and music is lagging for many players.) I will wait with the updating and playing again.

    If they replaced the missing movies with new ones, or if they loaded back the originals to choose from than this is solved. But if they only placed placeholders to the game, then this is only a workaround, not a bug fix. (And there will be more complains from other players who don't understand why they see a Campfire in the Inn, and so on.)

    Because of this I don't want to decide if this topic can be closed or not.

    Yes it is

    Yes, i agree that temporary movies are not the final solution, but they make the game playable.
    The fix is entirely remove the movie call from the engine, or give an appropriate video.

    We had an another Multiplayer freeze at the Carnival Area: a sunset movie was missing. :(
  • Sese79Sese79 Member Posts: 478
    We had yesterday this freeze bug again in Multiplayer: the missing sunset / sunrise movies are causing this.
  • Sese79Sese79 Member Posts: 478
    Bump.

    This is back again at the Main Page, don't know why. Wish this were true, but it isn't. The are still missing movies, they are using game freeze or annoying loop of text at the screen.
