Major bug in Watcher's Keep (mob despawn!)

So yeah, the second level of Watcher's Keep is now completely devoid of life. Why? Well, I got my ass beat by golems and reloaded. ALL GODDAMN MOBS despawned. Went back a bit, to a level 1 save, and the monsters were still gone. Reloaded again and the same.

This of course makes the level uncompletable, because some of them drop keys.


Edit: Well, they reappeared now, had to reload from a pre-entry autosave and THEN my completed level 1 save and it worked. Still REALLY annoying.

Edit2: Aaaand it stopped working. That's it, I'm out.

    come back when a patch is out. I suspect this is a big enough problem that it will be fixed as quickly as they can

    I hope that wont be a problem to me in future, because I cleared 1st level, opened outside door on 2nd and then immediately left WK to return much later. Never interacted with monsters on 2nd level, still worry.

    Seems even SAVING is a problem there.

    Here's what I was able to reproduce:

    Saving or loading on Level 2 = ALL mobs despawn, guardians also.
    Loading a save AFTER that bug occured, from level 1 for example = Still no mobs.
    Loading a save from BEFORE entering the keep AFTER the bug occurs then loading a pre-level 2 save and going to Level 2 = NO MOBS

    The only solution I found was:

    1. Restarting the game,
    2. Loading a save prior to entering the Keep,
    3. Entering it. Finding and hitting an enemy (the latter might be optional),
    4. Loading a pre-level 2 save and entering level 2.
    5. MOBS are PRESENT. No saving/loading allowed because they despawn! Each and every one, so no XP and keys.

    it's nice that you even found a solution. I just started playing other games as I wait for a fix :(

    Crap, I returned there to check, and I see only imp and some spiders. Sure hope theres fix, or at least a way to clua-console those keys. Will wait for now.

    *sigh* Maybe they just spawn whenever they feel like it.


    Just had a completely devoid of life level populate out of thin air. Just in time for some vampiric mists to kick my ass.

    Even the key mobs despawned? I assumed this bug was happening with non-essential mobs. If it's occurring with plot advancing enemies, then it goes from supremely annoying to game-breaking.

    Yes, no mobs or guardians, even the toxic mist from Slime room was missing.

    They spawned now. I just waited and twiddled my thumbs on an empty level. AFTER several reloads because of the problems mentioned above.

    Waiting only produces banters to me, and i'm afraid to save there.
