Permanent Buff gone after save and reload

Have an issue where the “permanent buffs” we can buy from certain vendors disappears after you reload a save or save and reload and you can’t find them again since you’ve already bought those buffing items

anyone else having this issue?

this is on PS5

 

  • This is me leaving an update

    After the update, 1.000.003, on PS5 on the 7th November, the issue of losing the permanent buff after loading up a save has not been fixed

    Yes. I also noticed this. Specifically I have bought the following from vendors in the Crossroads and their effects disappeared after a reload:

    • Kirkwall Select 9:13 +1% damage
    • Amrita's Distillate +1% Defense
    • Dragon's Bounty +25 Health

    All of these had the buff show up in the stats after purchase, but after a reload the Buffs were gone.

    I am playing on PC.  Patch state as of 19 Nov. V.1394766

      Bought mine in Docktown pre-patch and noticed that they disappered after reload/loading up a save. 

      Hopefully they will fix it with the next patch, until then we keep writing that this bug still exists

      It was like this pre-patch too, they disappeared after reloading/loading up a save and couldn’t buy them again. Tried after the patch, but didn’t work then either. Luckily I loaded an Auto save and could save the money spent on it

    Looks like it is fixed in the PC version patch as well. Now on V.1394942 (Nov 21 Patch).

    Went and bought a buff, saved and reloaded.

    Not only was the buff still there, but in the reload it must have checked if other buffs had been bought, because the buffs I bought earlier and lost through reload were there as well.!

      Just tested myself on latest Steam patch (Patch 3) and it's still broken. I wonder if other platforms on PC (not through Steam) have different versions or maybe something else is up?

        It sounds like it could be 50/50 with the new patch

        Playing on PS5 and with the new Patch, 1.000.004, so has it been fixed for me, but for another it hasn’t been fixed and is still broken.

        Keep writing if it doesn’t work so they see and so they can keep looking into this bug is all I can say

  • With patch 1.000.004 on PS5 it looks like the issue of permanent buffs disappearing after reloading/loading up a save has been fixed!

    Bought the buffs, saved and reloaded/loaded up the save and the permanent buffs were still there!!

    This is on PS5
