📝 Alpha Two | Known Issues List - Read Me First! 🚨
Alpha Two Phase II testing has begun! During this phase, our test realms will be open every week for at least five days.
For our initial launch, testing will begin on Friday, December 20, 2024, at 10 AM Pacific and continue uninterrupted until Monday, January 6, 2025, at 10 AM Pacific (convert this to your local time). After January 6th, we’ll transition to a schedule of five-day-per-week access for the remainder of Phase II.
NOTE: We may adjust times as needed for our internal testing purposes and needs.
Top Issues
🔸 If you die and become stuck with an "Caster invalid life state" error, relogging will fix this issue.
🔸 If you respawn and become stuck, relogging will fix this issue.
🔸 Please ensure you meet the minimum computer specifications for Alpha Two here. If you do not, you may receive Unreal errors, infinite loading screen, or timeout errors upon hitting play due to this. (Note: If you have multiple HDDs, to make sure you install on your SSD.)
🔸 If you have a lot of crash logs, this may be taking up a lot of space on your computer. To free up space, look at this folder, and delete older large logs (copy and paste the phrase below to search)
%Localappdata%\AOC\Saved\Crashes
🔸 If your game is crashing on a black screen immediately after pressing Launch Game, you likely need to update/reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. Visit Microsoft's website and install the X64 version for Windows 10/11.
🔸 There are issues with node storage that may cause some items to disappear or even crash your game client
Error Codes
🔸 Check the Ashes of Creation Knowledgebase for known errors.
Node Wars
🔸 Sometimes the Godspike can not be completed during Node Wars
🔸 During Node Wars Victory Points may not update correctly
Launcher
🔸 Some antivirus software will make it so auto-update for the Intrepid Launcher will not work. You may need to disable your antivirus software when updating via the launcher.
🔸 If you Experience in-game GPU and performance issues, please use "Clear game settings"
🔸 Players with certain Intel processors may be presented with a message concerning known stability issues with their CPU. This message will direct to an Epic known issue.
🔸 If you're still having issues with Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) when launching, you can try navigating to C:\Program Files\Intrepid Studios\AshesOfCreation\PROD\EasyAntiCheat (or wherever you have the game installed), double-click on Install.bat, and see if that lets you install EAC manually.
Character Creator
🔸 The play button may become grayed out. If this occurs, open the "Change Realm" window, and select your realm again.
🔸 The background of the character selection lobby has various visual bugs.
🔸 If you're getting "Player Permission Error. Code: 14" this may be caused by you having too many characters. Accounts are currently limited to a total of 10 characters, regardless of which realms they're on. If you have 10 characters and you want to create a new one, you will need to delete a character.
Loading Into Game
🔸 If you try to log in and see the message "Player is already connected with the same credentials," please wait 5-15 minutes before attempting to log in again. If you still encounter the same error, try logging in with a new character on the same server, then relog with your original character that was having the issue. This often resolves the problem.
🔸 If you get 'The code execution cannot proceed because XINPUT1_3.dll was not found' error when launching the game, you can fix this by installing this Microsoft Windows executable.
Gameplay
🔸 Stepping into lava next to the puzzle bridge in the Befallen Forge may put your character into a bad state. If you have issues with characters that stepped into lava here, you may need to log out and wait for several minutes before being able to log back in
🔸 When making purchases at the new Marketplace Manager total price is showing incorrectly. Characters are being charged a different amount than what is shown in "total price"
🔸 If you have "Render Stencil Based Materials" turned on, your targets may be covered incorrectly in a glowing effect. You can turn this option off to stop this from happening
🔸 If you want a shrine to be your home shrine, you need to attune to it twice
🔸 Buy Orders do not provide Node Currency to players when Exchanging
🔸 Archetype abilities may be missing VFX art or have VFX bugs when used.
🔸 When you die, you may need to click on your health bar for the death to register.
🔸 When harvesting, you may receive a message saying you don’t have room for the materials. The materials will drop to the ground, but then can be picked up.
🔸 Caravans are not drivable after retrieving them from the Caravansary
🔸 Bards may encounter an issue in which their movement speed is drastically reduced. Relogging can fix the issue.
🔸 Many NPCs currently have animation and level-of-detail issues.
🔸 If you enter the water on a mount, water effects may be persistent when you exit the water. This can cause significant framerate drops. Relogging may fix the issue.
🔸 We're aware of inconsistent NPC aggro.
🔸 When you dismount from your mount, you will be unable to move. Fixes include cycling mount/dismount, and relogging.
🔸 You may occasionally fall through the map. Reloading the game will usually fix this issue.
🔸 Caravan Crates that are in the process of unpacking are lacking an indicator that unpacking is in progress. You can hover over the tooltip to see a timer.
🔸 You may have issues picking up Crates while on a Caravan. Closing the Crate pick up window and reopening it is a workaround.
🔸 Scribing Stations currently do not work
🔸 There are placeholder environment assets visible at further distances in Samia’s hope. Getting closer to these assets will resolve the issue
🔸 If you see a Caravan error such as 'You are trying to deploy a Caravan in the wrong node.", do NOT delete the Caravan item.
🔸 To restore the caravan after deleting from inventory, you need to re-login, then talk to the caravan master in the node where you lost the caravan, and it will reappear in your inventory
🔸 Consumable buffs currently may not persist after logging out
🔸 Some missing sound effects for gathering
🔸 An exploit was found with treasures (Due to this, we have disabled them.)
UI/Graphics Options
🔸 GPU crash may occur when idling in Game Options Menu
🔸 Changing graphics quality may cause brief lag or a game client crash.
🔸 Players with graphics set to medium may have visual issues during night time. As a workaround, when logging in, change your graphics quality / effects quality off of medium (even if you change it back to medium later).
🔸 If your game appears washed out, or the colors seem inverted, try changing your graphic settings to fix the issue.
🔸 Friend lists may be wiped after realm restarts and maintenance
