Bugs in Patch 11

[mstevens]

Well, Mod tools definitly make tracking down bugs easier. They happen, and then I can go into the tools and ask "Why did that happen?" So:

 

New Venalicium adventure: Has slightly messed pre-reqs. You start at Venalicium 4 (The tutor's desk), searching for a cure for ravenprix without any clear explanation of why. And there don't appear to be any contiunances leading from adventure 3 to adventure 4. Besides, adventure 1 not only provides context for the whole endeavour, it informs you of the help desk.

 

Also, unless something is wrong with the mod tools, the description for Perform: Harpshichord has a lore inserted at the end. And talks about violin, which is the wrong instrument.

 

Subtle typo: Methods of the Masters ability increases "Negation, Incantation, Glamour, Negation, Revision, and Astrology"

Thanks! I'll pass that on about the Venalicium Adventure, but I believe the intent is that you Visit the Venalicium Library which begins Stage 1. The lack of Continuances from 3 to 4 is what flags 4 as the intro, allowing you to select it. We'll definitely correct it in DLC 3, if not in an earlier Content Patch.

 

We'll look at Perform: Harpsichord and Methods of the Masters as well- thanks!

Is Study at the Venalicium Library at random if one can use it the next day also? Because sometimes I have to wait one day after using it bevore I can use it again but on other days I also could use it direct at the next day.

Although the Cooldown on the Venalicium Library Action is 1, there are some other factors which can prevent its (over)use on occasion. It's not entirely at random, but does have a random factor.

Recently, after noticing on the wiki that having methods of negation at 11 unlocks the mastery skill set, I tried to achieve this. Despite fully researching negation methods and having the game say my maximum is methods skill level has increased (And floating my cursor over it has my skill maximum being 11), I still can not raise it above ten. The game is saying at 10 I am already at my maximum skill level.

Firstly, to confirm, please hit F12 and look in the bottom left hand corner to verify which version of the game you are playing. It should read: 1.1.1.1.

 

If it does, I'd like to look at your save- please pm me with a RapidShare link to your save and we'll review.

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: We have the file, and I see the issue. We'll try to close this in Patch 12. Thanks!

From the Event where a cat drinks diverent Potions in a shop I got Chemistry +1 acording to the day report but the Skill is still not shown when I look at the left side under Brew.

Because the Skill show up correct after I processed the next day it appears that there is a missing update for the char display on the left.

(Sorry I didnt have F12 on when this hapened)

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

Hmm, so the report for the new Skill showed up not the Day after the Skill was Added, but the Day after that? Hmmm, we'll test for this.

 

Thanks!

[Schwarzbart]

I know I got bullyed at a day but this bully didnt apear in the day report maybe because I also got a reprimand for trespassing on this day. (I still got the +3 Stress)

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

I'll also try to track down that Event- it's possible that it may be the source of the Stress as well.

 

Thanks!

[Schwarzbart]

No the 3 Stress is 100% from Bully because I got the bully every reload of this turn

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

Hmmm, there may be a conflict on the reporting. Thanks!

[Schwarzbart]

RE Famous Dilemas failure have (increase damage) at the end of the text.

Edit ups missed to write the Event ... It was a Library Event think 06 but not sure anymore.

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

Thanks! We'll look at these two.

[Schwarzbart]

Its only one. ^^

[Alugere]

One thing that I've been forgetting to mention for a while now is this: when something gives a bonus to a subskill (Such as protective mindset which you get from theory of negation that gives +1 to all of the subskills), you don't seem to get any of the phemes, spells, or lore that you would get if those subskills increased naturally.

[Schwarzbart]

Yes thats a feature of the game, they only help you with the Skill rolls.

[Alugere]

Ah, it seems what I was seeing fixed itself after restarting the game. Essentially, what it was doing, was if I raised the skill to the cap, bonuses gained before the cap weren't displaying for some odd reason. Essentially, despite having 2 +1 bonuses to negation methods, at maxed skill, it showed it at 11. However, after restarting the game, it displays it at 12 now.

[Schwarzbart]

There are some update problems left for the left screen. I.e. if you equip something that would change a SS its effect only show up after the next turn while the Mouse over on the SS already show it.

[Legate of Mineta]

Alugere and Schwarzbart;

 

Ah- yes, both of these are known issues then, and something we'll be looking at in future Patches.

 

Thanks!

Bad linking? In Familiar Adventure Toad 6a the Investigation dont unlooks Exit 2 for me

(Sadly this means I again cant finish the Familiar Quest because my char dont have Strategy)

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

 

We'll review it, thanks!

[Schwarzbart]

Familiar Adventure Toad 6a Exit 1 gives 0 Medal of Rushes?!

[Q.T.Quazar]

a few small text edits:

 

in the Grotto section of the Vernin quest (i think this is the second part), it looks like there's a missing word: ...”so many _________ where no-one lived“

 

in the Tutor's desk quest: You 'pour' over the incantation (should be pore) (for reference: http://www.dailywritingtips.com/poring-over-pore-and-pour/ since this is a common mistake)

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart and Q.T;

 

Thanks! We'll close these in Content Patch 3.

 

As for pore vs. pour, I actually did not know that- that's very interesting. Until you wrote I always thought it was correctly 'pour'.
