Description:
Google Drive link with NoRestForTheWicked folder containing DataStore and Player.log/Player-prev.log and DxDiag information. Player ID with the bug is 26863: 2026-01-28_NoRestForTheWicked_softlock - Google Drive
(Player.log and Player-prev.log might not be useful as I restarted the game a few times before collecting the logs.)
Video of the bug: https://youtu.be/R5DUsSBAUuE
After mining a copper node, the character got stuck in a walking animation while a prompt for depleted node stayed on the screen. The game stayed responsive to player input outside of movement (e.g. the menu can be accessed, interact button issues a sound).
Quitting to main menu and selecting continue causes an infinite loading screen. Loading from Last Whisper does not help the issue. Loading a backup save helps.
Reproduction steps:
Currently not known. I suspect the two items spawning from the node might have nudged the character into an invalid state?
Thankfully the backup system helped with not losing any progress!
The files should already be in the Google Drive link I have included in the post (and it is set to ,everyone with the link can view’’), but I see that I have worded it poorly. The link contains the whole NoRestForTheWicked folder from […]/AppData/LocalLow/Moon Studios, so it has DataStore and both player logs (albeit less useful due to me restarting the game a few times before collecting them).
Hello! I have had a similar issue, so I report in this topic.
Pestilence 4 area, killed enough mobs and was on the way to the boss, decided to cut down a tree. Did that, and the character stopped responding to controls. His hands were displayed empty (equipped weapons did not show, as when the character is harvesting resources), pose idle, no reaction to any controls at all.
Similarly I can’t load the realm now, and can’t continue from the last whisper.
Sure! Backups on Windows are in C:\Users\(yourUserName)\AppData\LocalLow\Moon Studios\NoRestForTheWicked\DataStore, in folders with numbers. Each folder is for a particular build of the game.
I went into the folder of the latest updated realm, copied character saves in a separate folder just in case, then deleted the “main” save and removed the “bak” from the latest backup file’s name.
I was making my way through the Black Trench stopped to mine an ore then suddenly I couldn’t move or do anything. I quit the game and reloaded and got stuck on the loading screen when "continuing from last whisper”. I hit the windows key and then suddenly I was loaded in, but I can’t move or do anything. I can load other characters into the realm, I can load the effected character into other realms but I can’t continue the game on the home realm of the effected character.
