Major Game Breaking Bug

Post » Thu Nov 15, 2012 11:38 pm

So i got to the mission where you go to the golden cat... I chose to do the nonlethal approach but when I turn in the quest and start walking away for some reason they become my enemy and i get a game over screen... now it loads back to that scene over and over everytime they act like they detected my presence and I get the game over screen. So basically I either need to start the game all over or this bug needs patched =/.

This is one of the most game breaking bugs in Dishonored right now, it WILL be fixed but you have to give the developers time to roll out a fix.

They don't need to make a statement, this is their job and people should have more faith in them doing it.

Now, if you want to find a topic with more information then follow this one: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1415661-game-crashing-to-desktop-golden-cat-mission/

I don't think his/her issue is crashing.

I think the issue is that the person went to the Golden Cat and got the safe combination for Slackjaw, then returned to the distillery and Slackjaw is becoming aggressive when the player leaves. This causes a game over because after Slackjaw "neutralizes" them, the player gets a game over saying something like "Slackjaw was the only man that could eliminate the Pendeltons, and you pissed him off."

Is that what you are getting, OP?

And you wouldn't need to start the game all over. You'd need to start the mission all over.

So what you would want to do is go to the main menu. At the main menu is a "Mission" tab. Then choose the "Golden Cat" mission from that list. If this is the first time through, all later missions will show as locked.

This mission save will start the mission over for you, while keeping all statistics and choices from missions earlier in the game for you.

Also for the next playthrough, be careful about releasing the weepers from the basemant room as this is the most common cause of Slackjaw's aggression. (The ones outside are scripted, just don't lure them inside the distillery or they can have the same effect).
