Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has a lot of bugs. One of the annoying bugs is related to Alchemy, an important skill for creating potions by mixing the right ingredients and following recipes carefully. According to several reports, when players attempt to brew potions using alchemy, the game asks them to open up their inventory to pick herbs. This bug has started triggering, especially after the latest patch. In this guide, we will try to fix this frustrating issue.
How to Fix Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Alchemy Broke After Patch
Due to the Alchemy bug in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, after installing the latest patch, the mouse movement controls the view of your character, instead of letting you select herbs normally. Thankfully, players have found multiple solutions, and here we have gathered all of them.
1. Disable All Mods
Mods can be the root cause of this bug, so if you are using any of the mods to enhance the gaming experience, disable all of them and then try to play the game.
2. Repair Game Files
Some players suggest that any missing or corrupted game files cause this problem, so the next solution you can try is to repair such game files. Here is how you can do it on Steam and Epic Games.
- On Steam: Go to Steam Library >> Right-click on the game >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify integrity of game files >> Wait for a while until the scanning process completes, and then relaunch the game.
- On Epic Games: Open up Epic Games Launcher Library >> Find the game >> Click on the three dots next to the game >> Select Verify. After the scanning, relaunch the game.
3. Switching Borderless/Fullscreen Mode
Sometimes, the new patch in the online games leaves the game in a confused “input” state. When you switch the game’s mode between borderless and full-screen mode, the glitch can be fixed. Here is how to do it:
- First of all, launch the game.
- In the main menu, press Alt + Enter on your keyboard to switch between Fullscreen and Borderless Windowed.
- Once done, go to the game and check if the mouse starts working fine or not.
4. Rebind Inventory/Alchemy Controls
The new patch may have mismatched or broken some key bindings, especially for confirm/select actions. When you rebind keys, it may help to fix the bug.
You can do this easily by going to Settings >> Controls and changing the settings to the different keys. Once done, exit from the settings and relaunch the game.
5. Temporary Workaround for Brewing
Even if the inventory UI is broken, some players found they could still brew potions by manually preparing herbs before starting the alchemy bench. Here is how you can do it:
- Gather the herbs you need in your normal inventory
- Instead of trying to select them at the alchemy bench, equip them, and place them into the mortar or container manually
- Once the herbs are in place, interact with the alchemy bench and continue the brewing process
Well, this trick might not work for all players, but it will let you brew essential potions like Savior Schnapps until the developers resolve the issue.
6. Reinstall the Game
If none of the above methods work, your last resort is to uninstall the game completely from your device and reinstall it from scratch. Ensure to back up your save files before uninstalling the game.
That’s all for this guide on how to fix Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 alchemy broke after the patch.
