Im also at " checking game version" screen. They just informed us about incoming patch. its 1 per week sadly. Probably on Sunday later on. then if u cant join again, probably need to wait again 7 days for next patch and so on. after few month then u might actually start playing online.

I wish there was a way to fix it on their side, like run a script that resets black market and transmutation forge.

They cannot wait 1 week to fix this, today it is 5% of the server, tomorrow it will be 30%, since several will end the story mode.
It can be fixed with a mini-patch, it is an easy mistake.

i cant see their answers so i rly dont know. they act like inmature :S zero answers on social media. 1 announcment per day on discord and thats all. this isnt enough for payed game. they should fix this RIGHT NOW let us play and fix other bugs later this week. let us hope for the best, maybe today they gona fix it. who knows ..

They cant patch the game untill sunday they can only patch it once per week. Have fun waiting till Sunday or Monday everyone thats affected by this.

Sad part that this bug was found on 17 feb, but we don have any in-game announcements about it. Only in discord i found origin of my crashes.

I've tried reaching them in several platforms (steam, reddit, discord, facebook) asking them to actually wipe my character (I'm only lv70 I can live with a refresh) but I got no reply =(

Are you waiting for a refund request to put the fix on so we can play? small problems can wait I agree, but the bulk of your players cannot play the cause of the forge in fact , You will wait until we put negative notes maybe? after a catastrophic exit followed by a weekend where we couldn't play, now a lot of players have to wait until you decide to put the patch on to be able to play? the problem comes from the forge, why not make a mini patch or even the Locked to allow everyone to enjoy your game?Finally, why not have directly locked the city or warned directly in the game?

I made the same mistake tonight. What can I do now?

Fix this plz
Same problem

fix is ready, wolcen team just cant upload patch right now because of some weird hosting reasons. Seems we wont see fix before sunday.

Same issue have appeared for me too now.
So it's because I used an endgame mechanic available to all players? Alright, I'll make sure to inform my friends to steer clear of that mechanic.

That's understandable, but why didn't they block the forge or at least give a warning?.
That sucks.

add me to the list... had no idea it was even a problem until after I did it, started checking into why I was even stuck in the first place and then learned about the issue.

Edit: But really... am I stuck until the next patch cycle? wtf?

I have the same problem fix this soon, I'm starting to lose patience.

Same problem, just wish someone on the devs team would have been competent enough to disable the forge, put out a PSA, have done something as opposed to what actually happened, which was doing absolutely nothing and leaving us to, uhm, well what do we do now?

I have the same problem.
Why 1 hotfix per week its not logic for a new game.

Agree with a ingame warning or just disabling the upgrade would have been nice. Now still people are stuck and can't play. If you dont fix it atleast warn/disable it server side,

They are to busy spending our money to give a dam. I have had this since sunday night and can not even play offline.

The more time that goes on the more i agree with the people saying this was cash grab game.

1 hotfix a week? this game needs to be updated everyday with the amount of bugs and missing stuff.
