Black Pits II, Can't progress. Character "disappears"

gaxxag

I started up Black Pits 2 and am playing it solo. Whenever I finish the first fight, I get the "congratulations... but can you do it again?" line, and then my character disappears, while my POV remains in the pit. I can access my inventory and stats, and the game is not paused. It's similar to trying to select a character who is on a different map, but my POV will not move to my character. I am stuck looking at the screen. If I save there, and load, the first dialogue of the game starts again for a second or so, but then the game crashes.

I tried reloading and doing the first fight several times. I tried killing all enemies with ctrl+y. I tried starting a new game entirely. No matter what I do, I always encounter this bug.

@gaxxag, I just tried it and it is working fine. A question and a request: are you using any mods, and can you zip up your saved game and attach it here?

gaxxag

I'm not using any mods. I edited my character in EE Keeper, but that doesn't seem to be the problem, as the bug still triggers when I use a different character. My save file is attached (it's a quicksave)

Everything is running fine in SOA

reminds me of a not an issue were the PC's gender was changed into illusionary-7.
EDiT: everything is OK with a look in NearInfinity.... I'll try it later in the game.

Bump?

I've tried a bunch of things in-game and still get the same problem. I then tried starting a new Black Pits game and importing that character. There are two things that I can see that are different from each other. The first is memorisation, Innate is set to 65535 (-1); however, setting that to a more appropriate number doesn't change the outcome. The second is the party. In a standard Black Pits saved game, it appears that the first six characters are placeholders, with the first slot in this case being the player. The characters second through sixth appear to be out of party, but with a party slot position of 1. It's possible an early version of Keeper was used. Other than that, I cannot see anything else that would be out of the ordinary.

I would say it's not the character, but rather the saved game itself, but since @Gaxxag stated that it was happening even with a different character, I'm not sure.

@Gaxxag, as well as the question that @Gate70 has asked, what version of Keeper did you use?

@gaxxag: I think the question being asked by my comrades here is: Does this happen when you don't modify your character?

There's always the possibility that a solo character playthrough has problems since the game was built around a 6 character party.

In addition, does it also happen if you are not using a single character?

Given the inability to re-produce, and the fact that we've not gotten a response on things since the 8th, I'm going to move this to Not an Issue

@gaxxag: If you do get this and the information above doesn't help you, please take some time to answer a few of the posed questions above and @ me so I can move it back to active.

I see this is an old issue... but it's happening to me. At first I found this and saw that the person went from a 6 person party down to 1 and thought that was my issue to... but then I started a completely new game with just my 1 character and it's still occurring.

Only difference is, I imported after capture to get some of my stuff. I am using no mods, nor have I edited my character in EE keeper or anything like that. My game is vanilla, with the exception of CLUA enabled.
