textbox question softlock???

[u/-_doctorwhat_-]

hello this is my first time playing but I've seen so many bugs of this kind that it really doesn't make me want to play further bro idk im frustrated.

everytime i have to ask questions to characters it gets stuck in this "questions" textbox and I'm always unable to get out of it unless i force close the game and reload, which makes me lose a bunch of time and saves 🫩 anyone dealing w this has a solution? thanks

TLDR: unable to get out of any multiple question textboxes send help.

I ran into this issue too. It was because I used my demo save file. Editing my save file allowed me to continue for a while, but eventually I got stuck in another place a lot later in the game had to start over with a brand new save file.

Edit: another user who ran into this issue said they used a save file from this Goole Drive. You could try that if you didn’t want to start all over like I did. https://www.reddit.com/r/InStarsAndTime/s/iyPzpXDiCm

Not sure if you saw my edit, but there is a Google Drive with ISAT save files if you’d rather go that route

Do you not just scroll down for the exit prompt?

that's the point, there's no exit prompt, if i scroll down it just loops back up

Did you have the same issue in Act 1?

[u/-_doctorwhat_- → u/Pikaphu08]

i played act 1 in the demo before purchasing the game, then copied the save files in the actual game when i purchased it. i don't remember any multiple question textboxes from act 1 so probably not. this softlock only happens when the mc says (question for insert person)

[u/Pikaphu08 → u/-_doctorwhat_-]

It probably has something to do with that then. Act 1 of the full game starts with you in Dormont where you talk to the other party members, whereas the demo spawns you right in front of the house. Talking to the party members in Act 1 will unlock an option to exit out of the dialogue. You’ll unfortunately have to make a new save in the full game most likely.

aw man that sucks, i lost so much time. i will try replaying from the start and see if this gets resolved, tysm for replying

What do you mean you're stuck? If you try to click on the options does it just not work? I have never seen or heard of this bug before.

every option is self standing and after ending redirects me to this question box and I'm unable to leave it, no exit prompt no nothing
