No joke. Whenever I run a Unity game, my fans go to 100% and everything buzzes like mad, and it still goes blazing hot, whether anything warrants it or not. It's fucking amazing, really, considering that most Unity games are by no means high-end, graphically.

Never leave Unity games unattended, kids. If not because of fire hazards, do it because of the electricity bill. I swear it'd be less costly to mine cryptocurrency.
It's the same on my rig which plays graphically demanding games like Witcher 3 on ultra without as much as making a noise, yet boot up an Unity game and the fans start to howl. Anybody knows why? There has to be a reason, right?

Incompetence.

Saving seems to take a bit longer. Or am I imagining that because I haven't played in a while?
Saving does take longer now. And if you alt-tab while it is saving you can freeze the game. If you have auto save turned on, you can get fucked if you alt tab during a map transition (because the game is still auto saving).

I am not sure it does take longer. Even before the patch and before beta when you got to midgame saving the game started becoming a longer process.

As for alt tabing during game play, this is why there exists a borderless windowed option.

As someone that alt-tabs all the fucking time during saves and loads and transitions, that right there is a deal-breaker.

did you use any mods before you updated? Did you try to click custom portraits?
I did not use any mods but I did click on custom portraits.
Restart the game then. This is a bug with custom portaits. I think it is solved by going into folder where custom portaits are in and setting windows security (everyone: full).
I could not load a save before I did the same on the saves folder :D

Have the same problem, and it's definitely the custom portraits. If you try to switch between different custom portraits something breaks, and if you then try to go back to the menu and start over again, you get that blank screen. Just restart the game and it will work fine again. Annoying, but you can still have the custom portrait you want by copying the files over the first custom portrait that opens up.

After the patch hit I resumed my playthrough and entered The House. It's really as bad as this thread made it out to be. I wonder what in the development process led to this.

I am literally three map transitions away from completing the game and what should appear in all my auto and quicksaves: "Object reference not set to an instance" bug when I try to go to the
bloom map after the Lantern King teleports your kingdom into the first world (I successfully romanced Nyrissa).
So there goes a 90 hour play through into the shitter. :negative:

So what's the Kodex Konsensus on this after a few months?

All the reviews seem incredibly butthurt about not being able to respec (which would make all your character build choices pointless anyway, like D:OS 2), and Sawyerists bitching about MUH BALANCE :balance:

It is a good game which came out at least 3 months too early but it has been shaping up nicely. Now all they have to do is iron out the last bugs and kinks and I will gladly vote this as one of the best games this decade.
