Patch Update 9/18/24

Update: The results of my San Myshuno testing is as follows;

I moved all my played characters out of apartments in the city and moved them into normal residential lots in other worlds. These characters could attend festivals normally without any overlapping of festivals. Each one disappeared at the end of the festival.

I had one played character remain in San Myshuno but moved into the residential lot "The Old Salt House" in the Spice District. The Spice festival appeared normally and my character attended it. When the festival was scheduled to end, it disappeared with no left behind items and all of the vendors and attendees left as well.

It seems as long as you don't use apartments the festivals work as intended, (I do miss using apartments though)

Caerfinon Thanks for testing and reporting. It's helpful information to me, because at some point I'm probably going to be forced to update. It sounds like I'd be able to continue getting San Myshuno outdoor area screenshots for SAM by having one save where I don't ever use apartments. Interior apartment shots can still be done in glitched saves if we can't see the festival grounds out the windows. I really hope they just fix this problem soon though.

Have you tested what happens in other worlds that have festivals, such as Mount Komorebi, Sulani, or Henford?

Thanks Caerfinon!
Did the Old Salt House residents happen to discover any festival items in their household inventory later?

Thanks for being a great investigator Caerfinon! Was the character from San Myshuno that you tested the other worlds' festivals with living in a San Myshuno apartment or in the Old Salt House?
