CRITICAL UPDATE:
Hi Devotees, N7_Maxxi here.
We are currently working through some technical hurdles following a hotfix pushed earlier today. To try and keep things running smoothly, we have rolled the game files back to the previous version (Build 22865027).
Who might be affected?
This situation likely only involves players who interacted with the game while the "Hotfix 1" version was live (roughly the last 6 hours). If you haven't played today, you should be completely fine!
The Current Situation:
For those who updated or downloaded the game today, there is a chance you may encounter a progression lock where you can no longer feed the Obelisk, or the Obelisk doesn't accept any more devotion orbs despite requiring more to proceed.
Sadly, it seems simply rolling back to the previous build did not resolve this issue for everyone. As far as we can tell, not even fully clearing save/user data fixes this bug.
So if you encounter this issue while further into the game, please do not delete your save data, as there is no promise it will solve the problem.
Our Advice:
While we can't offer a fix right away, here are some things to be mindful of and to check before proceeding:
Check your Build:
You should check that you are on Build 22865027.
A quick Steam restart or "Verify Integrity of Game Files" usually handles this.Be Mindful:
If you played during that 6-hour window, you might want to be a little cautious.
If you notice things aren't progressing as they should, it may be worth pausing that save for a little bit.Wait for the Update:
We’ve seen some of you successfully using manual edits to get past the block.
If you want to take that risk, that is fine, but it might be safer to wait for our official fix to avoid any further headaches.
A Note to Our Community:
Asking you to deal with these little launch-week "surprises" isn't ideal, and I am so sorry for any stress this causes. We are working as fast as we can on a proper fix so your journey to "unlocking" the Orb can stay on track.
Please keep in mind that this is a TEMPORARY issue, and it will be fixed ASAP.
This is our first release and we are still learning the ins and outs of everything, so please bear with us while we work to fix our mistakes.
We’ll update you the second we have more news! Thank you for being so patient with us.
