Report bugs here. Ideally, your report should include the steps necessary to reproduce the bug.

Hopefully this will shed some light on the situation.
The model itself is working completely fine. This seems to be a problem related to KoboldCPP's tokencount API. I'm sort of at a loss why this would be happening with specifically Gemma 4 series models.
The changelog for koboldcpp-1.112.2 says "Fix for /api/extra/tokencount". I see that you've manually updated to 1.113, but for sanity, try it again with 1.112.2 specifically. If this doesn't fix the issue I will add a fallback that simply guesses the token count if the API fails.
Heads up, hotfix 1.7.0c, even with the token fallback, still doesn't resolve this particular issue.

In this log, I started a new game, attempted to talk to multiple NPCs. Second NPC I was informed that the fallback would be utilized for the token count.
The log shows that it fails during text completion too. This is some sort of mystery OS/driver/backend issue, since the only thing the game does differently between sending requests to Qwen and sending requests to Gemma is that it launches the backend with SWA enabled on Gemma.
You could try letting the game load the model, then killing the hidden Kobold process after it's done loading the model, and run this command in the StreamingAssets folder to "switch out" the backend process for one without SWA:
./koboldcpp-linux --model "Gemma-4-Sparse.gguf" --usevulkan --gpulayers -1 --quiet --multiuser 100 --contextsize 4096 --skiplauncher --port 5003 --nofastforward
If SWA isn't what causes the problem, I'm out of ideas. It's difficult for me to debug what's happening here because I don't have an AMD system to reproduce the bug with, if that's even the cause.
It would appear that the textures were given random temp names, with the second one being the culprit the game focuses. I assume I just need to change the name of the first one to something like "character_diffuse" and the second one to something else the game will ignore? What name would you recommend?
So I'm trying to get Celandine to follow me, and she's not, but I noticed the game was "thinking..." after her reply for a long time and I know that usually means it's doing a NPC action, yet I did not see any results, besides the relationship increase. So I checked the NPC Memories to be sure, and:
Apparently she tried, but it seems NPC actions aren't making it through to game play. I see she thought she did something, but I do not see the follow request in the dialog options or a meeting scheduled.
I wasn't really able to reproduce this issue, so my attempt at fixing it was a shot in the dark. It's certainly something very strange if you have objects not sticking to their normal grid positions.
This is inside the zone of persistence around Orson's cabin, not wilderness, so I can't easily retroactively fix it for old saves. The shape of it makes me think it's not related to what I've changed. Was this already present the first time you went to the cabin on this save? Does it occur on fresh 1.7.1 saves?
I'll give it a go in a fresh 1.71 save and update you on this, this bug did start in 1.7 and I didn't retry in 1.71 from fresh, all I truly recall is that a prior save in 1.7 didn't have that issue on day 1, but it seems that since day 7 it's always like this, and that's despite reloading a fresh chunk even in 1.71 (from the broken 1.7 save, right before entering the tile), I actually made the save right before the tile in question to generate it anew since I hadn't entered it until day 7 and the problem still persists, here's a few screenshots to demonstrate it;
The same part seems to load with that error every time, the rest of the map is loaded differently every time on entrance.
This is pure speculation on my part, but perhaps this issue only occurs after a few days (about a week) passes ingame, if you tested it day 1 it might not reproduce the issue.
But that's pure conjecture on my part, it's more likely it's an issue with my save specifically, I'll try a fresh one with 1.71 and keep you updated if it happens again. It's either A. The save was broken from the get go, but somehow I didn't notice early with that Day 1 visit I made but then reloaded, before returning here during day 7, in which case I'm sad to say I have no idea what caused this. Or B. A problem that only occurs after a number of day passes, which might be the reason you couldn't reproduce it.
Update;
I reloaded the same save, same character, but back from day 3 instead, and I can confirm; the chunk issue is absent.
So either 1.71 miraculously fixed that old day 3 save, or something must've happened between day 3 and day 7 on that save that caused it to happen, here's the screenshot of that same spot at day 3 instead, again, from the exact same save but earlier;
Oh, that reminds me, I've had similar but not identical occurrences when a projectile was heading in my direction, generally from a slime, and I attempted to move to another tile.
It seems projectiles trying to follow you through tiles causes unplanned freezes, this is probably what happened here as well, loading must act like changing tiles.
Decided to add a screenshot of the issue, and mention the error is still present in 1.7.1 if anyone was wondering.
when I'm typing in English, is there any way i can fix this?
