Got a soft lock bug, can't rotate and subsequently can't interact with things below my character. Since i got it in the Enchanted Forest at the start of the game i guess there's an easy fix?
Any help?
Yes, if you know basic JSON there's an easy fix (if you don't, then there's some trial and error involved).
1. Go to saveeditonline
2. Upload your savefile
3. Click to unpack it, so it show the raw JSON
4. Search for character "MC" (just use Ctrl+F, it appears twice in the file and you want the 2nd occurence)
5. Set _directionFix from "true" to "false". Be careful, it'll appear a dozen times, you should change only the one for "MC".
6. Download the fixed savegame, it'll be considerably larger than the original
7. Enjoy
If you get in doubt about which _directionFix to change, edit exactly one and save. If it doesn't work, revert your edit and go change another one. Trial and error, but does the trick.
It happens in the Enchanted Forest if you pass through a certain part of it.
This game has more bugs than you can count, so here's an additional tip:
In www/js/rpg_managers.js line 333-335 there is the following function:
JavaScript:
DataManager.maxSavefiles = function() {
return 20;
};
Change 20 to whatever (I use 60) and make sure to save often in a new slot.
I stopped counting how often I had to load an earlier save, not to mention the many many visual glitches happened...
Often I would only realize I got soft-locked when changing the day and trying to access e.g. trade district (surprise, black screen - multiple events got queued and the game couldn't deal with that

), and had to load a save old enough to not have the queue, but recent enough to not have to backtrack too much.
