Can you reproduce it reliably? Or at reproduce once in a few runs?

Maybe you have a savegame which is already "stuck"?

I cannot reproduce it reliably, I just tried and was unable to do so.

I will save the next time I run into the bug though, with the book "stuck", and update this thread.

I ran into this issue again, while playing Quinn Co., and saved the game. You can download the .save file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5v2rxcuzh0wk3hl/Quicksave_0.save?dl=0.

Just load it and you'll notice the blank pages and the fact that you cannot close the readable.

I'm afraid I need a savegame before the problem happens.

The attached savegame demonstrates that the problem can happen, but does not show how the game can get into such bad state.

Just giving you what you asked for, 'a savegame which is already "stuck"':

 

If I have additional information in the future I'll post it here.

Yes, you are right.
I guess I thought I would catch something suspicious by looking at it.

Well, I will inspect it --- maybe I'll have some clues about how it happens. Thank you!

Speaking of savegame before getting stuck, I won't be surprised if the issue is not reproducible 😥

Yeah, hope it helps!

And regarding a savegame before getting stuck, as you mentioned, it's likely that it's not reproducible: somehow I think that the bug occurs while reading, and might not be related to the global state of the game, but I could be wrong.

It also seems to happen after scrolling the mouse wheel to read a next or previous page, sometimes half-way through a book. I wonder if sometimes the next/previous page action can make a readable go to a non-existent page that then breaks the frob ability due to invalid xdata?

But anyways, if I run into this again, hopefully I have a savegame before the problem or more information about this.

Thanks!

I think I have just got into the same problem on Volta 1.

The readable_percys_note 1) cannot be picked up, and 2) has some empty pages if I hit "next page" key while reading. And I think once I got the empty page which was stuck like reported here. But I cannot reproduce it from quickload 😞

Perhaps @kingsal can confirm whether the two points are intended.

Hmm the extra page on that readable is just a bug, but I am able to pick it up and read it.

No reports of not being able to be pick readables in this mission, so that's weird.

I could not pick it, and saw a console warning about it. But I could read it just like a typical non-pickable paper.
What's the difference between pickable and non-pickable readables?...

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
