Quest for Infamy / Getting a runtime error when I try to uninstall old version (gog.com)

« on: June 07, 2015, 05:27:01 AM »

So title pretty much says it all. I have the original version of the game installed, decided to get the 1.1.1 upgrade and give the game an other go. But when I downloaded the patch it said that it wasn't compatible with my game and I needed to download the latest version of the game... So I tried to re-download the game... but then it would just say that it is already downloaded and installed... Sooooo I tried to uninstall it, and that is where I ran into this runtime error.

Quest for Infamy / Playthrough from hell

« on: July 22, 2014, 12:23:21 PM »

So I ran my second playthrough as a thief going out of my way to do anything and everything I could, taking my time exploring the game, looking for eggs and glitches... (this included running the game minimized when I wasn't playing and running multiple instances of the game simultaneously.)


I was very impressed by how stable the game was, given the conditions I ran it under I would give the game an overall AAA rating in stability. I experienced ONLY A SINGLE crash, after leaving the game running overnight, closing my laptop, opening it back up (forcing a windows password request) then going directly to the kraken. As he approached I saw bubbles in the water, then the game stalled out right before he emerged from the water.


As you can imagine this style of play caused a lot more stress on the game and I was able to find a decent number of glitches and bugs. Most of these I posted already, but for whatever reason as I continued the game in this matter the layering seemed to glitch out more and more and Rohem seemed to walk on top of buildings and other textures he was supposed to walk behind (especially on the tobacco/general goods shop page).


So here is a recap of the bugs I found (Minus the ones I posted before)

Spoiler (hover to show)

1)I was able to buy the fancy knife and gift it to the arrow girl multiple times, this gave me +10 infamy every time (I only did this 3 times)


2)As I played the game in this hard way 2 game features seemed to break down.
   A) The pointer in the arrow game broke and became the eye (this makes shooting damn hard)
   B) I stopped getting informed when I gained an item or skill point


3)(not sure if this is on purpose) I was able to buy a new map during act 3. This was very nice and I don't think you guys need to change this haha.

Well everything else has been mentioned and discussed elsewhere in the Tech Support pages.


As I say, AAA on stability!

Quest for Infamy / Not sure if it's an error

« on: July 18, 2014, 12:26:22 PM »

but

Spoiler (hover to show)

I am trying to make the disguise, I have the cloak, but talking to and or giving it to the dye woman isn't doing anything. Am I missing something? I have already gone to the fortress and Rohem said he needed a disguise if he wanted to return.

Quest for Infamy / (minor)Glitch on Kilt dude

Spoiler (hover to show)

When entering the thieves guild (by way of the map) for the first time, after giving Shawn the lemon-billy,

his starting position is really awkward, like floating on top of the player.

Quest for Infamy / glitchy eggs are the best

« on: July 16, 2014, 07:33:15 PM »

Not sure if it's an egg or a glitch... Feel free to delete this post, or leave it as a hint... or better yet leave it, like it, and let us all guess...

Spoiler (hover to show)

So I did the mayor robbery already, then I went to the library (a few days later) for the main quest, saw the flagellant etc... so then I had to go to the mayors house for tea. Everything went as normal. But afterwords I went back into the house, the butler tells me the mayor is gone, so I click on things like a retard until I click on the plants on the wall, then I climb up and find my self... dumdududumm on the roof with the mayor, and Voleris. The game seems to register Voleris as well Voleris, but the mayor is like... not there, but he is.

When I look at him it doesn't register, but if I try to fight him or give him something it gives me standard generic person responses...

Quest for Infamy / Ok. Here's My Recap

« on: July 14, 2014, 10:52:00 PM »

Finally finished my first play through...


First of all I would like to say the game is wonderful! I loved every moment of it! I can't say how awesome you guys are for making this game!


I was a huge fan of the QFG games and have literally been replaying it every few years for the last 20 years... So you can say I have been waiting to play this game for at least this long.


On this first playthrough I was playing as a sorcerer and was attempting not to use any help, I also tried to play as evil as I could, since it is a quest for infamy after all...


Unfortunately I didn't accomplish that much outside of the main story line, not even doing the sorcerer fight the necromancer quest and despite doing all the evil I could my infamy was a mere 180 ish. 


Any way, I took some notes for the team and I found a number of issues(minor bugs), difficulties(areas lacking logic) and comments(helpful ideas to improve):

Issues:these easily qualify as minor bugs and glitches.

Spoiler (hover to show)

1)Eating Time - So I keep eating my rations and am not able to catch breakfast or dinner at the inn. (perhaps modifying when Rohan will eat his rations could fix this?)

2)Slavers house(this place was full of bugs)- First off there is a room, the with the stairs, that I can not interact with in any way. Secondly when I try to cast fear on the guard in the hallway it casts in a different screen and has no affect. Third when I look at anything in the bedroom it says "I can't see through walls"

3)When exiting aqueducts screen from the southeast there is a glitch which causes the player to walk across the water and exit from the south west instead.

4)After making it through the sewers and into the kitchen and casting fear on the chef I am not able to look at or interact with his body.

(these last three might not fall into glitches or bugs but they sure are annoying)

5)Black Smith - You certainly know about this or possibly have a reason for it but is the blacksmith supposed to come out only at night? If so the robbery of the house next door doesn't make sense at least not at night.

6)Casting unlock around doors that say they are locked - This annoyed me a lot but the worst was after defeating the leader of the Morri. There is a building, when you look at the door it says there is some good stuff in there, when you use the hand, it says that it's locked, but when you cast unlock... it says there is nothing to unlock... (could you at least take a card from QFG and say it's barred?) This happens at many buildings throughout the game IE Tyr houses etc...

7) At the beginning of Act III your map is missing from your inventory - this just seems like a cheap go around... If you are going to take it's function away at least give it an explanation, either explain why you don't have it or better yet just say you can't use it right now since Rayfords men are looking for you. (I don't like when things go missing from my inventory without explanation)

Difficulties:These are areas where I had undue difficulty and feel are illogical. Most of these forced me to seek help outside the game. If I missed in game clues please let me know, I hate absolutelyillogical solutions.

Spoiler (hover to show)

1)Selling loot - Not sure how I was supposed to figure out who to sell it to


2)Owl Feather - I knew I wanted a feather or something but I kept trying to throw stones at all the birds (pigeons crows etc...) By the time I saw the owl I had given up on a feather. Why does it have to be the owl? 


3)Getting the Servant piece from Japsworth - This might have been my fault a bit, but his conversation just made no sense, why did he want to go outside? only to go back in? Have him wonder home if I don't make a move, have me wait till tomorrow (maybe give me a narrated hint if you want to make it easy)

Comment: These are areas where the game that, well, disappointed me. While originally I made a whole section for this after finishing the game I only had one.

Spoiler (hover to show)

1 and only) The Slaver - His house was a mess of glitches and seemed half done at best and with a name like quest for infamy I was expecting some way of siding with him. At least giving it some depth like pointing out how after you kill him the slaves in his current keep starve to death since he never shows up to feed them... or something. I had been looking forward to the slaver for some real moral ambiguity all game. But if he lacked any depth or choice, and is so full of glitches, why keep him in the game? 

Any way, all that said it was an amazing game. I will start my next playthrough tomorrow morning I am sure (if not tonight haha). Thank you guys so much for all your hard work!

Quest for Infamy / Error: Game skips key content

« on: July 14, 2014, 01:09:43 PM »

So I was planning on waiting until I had finished a play through to make a full report, but unfortunately I have encountered what would appear to be a game stopper...


It seems to be an extension of what was a recurring issue where the game was skipping text & dialogue. However now it is skipping animation and dialogue/text.


For the record this issues is not caused by me clicking & skipping dialogue, since I have loaded the game several times and gone back through the problem areas being very careful not to skip anything.
 
So without further ado:
- The really big error -

Spoiler (hover to show)

At the end of Act 1 when I am in the crypt, after solving the light puzzle, the sarcophagus opens, I say the jem is not here, then out of nowhere I start fighting a zombie... I first thought that this came out of the sarcophagus, but then I find out it's Hummel... So it would appear my game skipped his entrance?
But it gets worse!
So after the battle I find out it's Hummel and I, quite sympathetically, urge him to die, after his death I look for a box and as I find it the Sheriff walks in... uhoh   
Suddenly I find myself in the sheriffs holding cell, he is says a single dialogue box: "I find it odd that you were in the open tomb with Hummel's body right in front of you (or something to that effect)" Then suddenly I am out of the cell and the sheriff is gone... At this point I have no idea what I am supposed to do or what's going on? Asking around I figured out that it has something to do with a bootlegger smuggling into the cove, but I have obviously missed a good deal of information. While I may be able to peace together what happened, I do feel like I am missing out on a good deal of story and that is why I bought this game...

If there is a quick fix for this please let me know ASAP

Now, as I alluded to earlier, I have noted this same dialogue skipping error in two other places, however neither was game stopping.

First:

Spoiler (hover to show)

When approached by the flagellant outside of the library. Skipped the last thing he said.

Second:(Note: I did not try this one more than once since it had been to long since I had saved, so it may have been an accidental mouse touch...)

Spoiler (hover to show)

When talking to the girl in the green cloak outside the pub (I forget her name). The game skipped one of her dialogue boxes, but I was able to peace together what I missed pretty easily.
