r/Risen

Hey! So a few months ago I played through the first Risen and absolutely loved it. From everything I’d heard, and after finally watching some gameplay of Risen 2, I could already tell it wasn’t quite the same game anymore. Still, I wanted to give it a chance for the story.
The problem is that I bought the Steam version (including all the DLCs) and ran into some serious technical issues. I couldn’t save the game properly, and even when I managed to create a save, I couldn’t load it afterward. The game would just crash, and in some cases it even forced me to do a hard reset of my PC. In the end, I had to request a refund.
I was wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with the Steam version of Risen 2. Does the GOG version run any better, or is it affected by the same bugs?

Currently playing the first Risen game in the series after coming from the Gothic 1 remake, decided to play it on the 360 since that’s mainly what I play older games on. Had I known the amount of game breaking bugs that were present I wouldn’t have lol.
Currently master ignatious inside the monastery will no longer speak with me, I’ve done every other quest there is to do within the monastery that I have access too including all the other masters. The worst part is in order to continue saving your game you have to delete previous saves… therefore my only fix would be to start a new game (which I will not be doing)? Anywho, if anyone has a possible solution I’m all ears or if this just an unlucky play through with no known fix that would be great to know also. Thanks!
