Strange bug (Zhjaeve new "spells") after updating to 1.11

Post by Say10 »

First of all - YES, I have original NWN2 and MoB, so it is not a fault of pirate version of the game. After updating from 1.10 to 1.11 I and loading last saved game (End of Act III original campaign) I found 2 new "spells" on each page of Zhjaeve's spell book! When I trigger spell details a blank description window shows up. Some of those new "spells" have Warlock's spells look, but on those from 1st and 2nd level instead of spell image there is a funny note on yellow background: "texture not found" :confused: :confused: :confused:
Anyone else have the same "bonus"? Or I just don't know about released fix for this bug? If I'm the only one I'll have to contact Obsidian support team. The good thing is that this bug is harmless: and I can still play normally, Zhjaeve still casts all normal spells.

Hmm, seems to me like this is a bug wherein the game gives you a new spell or item with a bad string reference. Happened to me once when Nasher was supposed to award me an item but all that appeared the the conversation log was Bad Strref. So, my guess is the game has given Zhjaeve a spell that was abandoned by the devs, but still with a broken reference nonetheless.

Not really a bug, btw.


A sneak preview of Patch 1.12 shows it will be adding approximately 20 new spells.

What you are seeing is what was included in Patch 1.11 of those spells. I think they where trying to add them into patch 1.11, but something happened or they reached codelock....

Just ignore them. It's not bad strref, or a bad bug. Just an unintentional "sneak Preview"....

More news about strange spells
Hey, I just found that even my Wizard can learn one of those new spells:

And here is Zhjaeve quickcast menu with all "new spells":

When I cast any of those I have a circle to target a ground. When cast, it sets a trap square but when triggered it does nothing.

The Hotfix is now official.

It, among other things, removes the rest of the pieces of the half-done spells.


I suggest getting it.
