Cael Evenstar Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I think I may have made a mistake installing patch 1.4.8.0. updating from 1.4.6.0. Is this patch supposed to give you a vast number of newly unlocked abilities at the start of a new game? I seem to have started with a wide variety of abilities that used to require unlocking, such as most of the 'Pray For' abilities, as well as four spells, Choke, Sense of Direction, Silence Rumourmonger and Friendquake (which used to require Befriend 11, according to the wiki). Anyone know what I've done or how to fix it? All I thought that I did was copy the patch over the Academagia install directory, but starting with all these abilities makes it seem like something has gone a bit wrong. Reinstalling is easy enough, of course, but want to make sure I don't make the same mistake with my next patching attempt. EDIT: I actually started with a LOT more spells than that, those are just the ones I have the Pheme's to cast And parental approval 65, despite not taking any CC options that would improve my parental approval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Cael; Unfortunately, for old saves games, yes. A change was made for Parent Skills, and the result was that older save games now have a lot of abilities unlocked when they should not be. Enjoy it while it lasts!

In my case, it's the new games that are affected, not older save games (don't have any older, active saves to try on this computer). Kind of changes the challenge level of the game when you start day 1 week 1 with vit 7 (with no CC points put into Fitness), +1 or +2 to most stats and lots of high-level actions and abilities. Also, unlocking Cryptology 1 now seems to give me a point of intelligence, which seems like another bug as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Cael; Hmm!!! Just to confirm- are these new games which you have created in 1.4.8.0, or are they games created in previous patches? When I wrote 'older save games', I should have clarified that by saying: 'save games created in earlier Patches.' Please let me know, and thanks!

Cael Evenstar Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 It's applying to new games created in 1.4.8.0. after applying the patch. I'm using the Impulse version of the game, and Impulse tells me I'm using v1.460. This is probably because I patched manually though, pressing F12 in game gives 1.4.8.0. as the version. It looks like it's treating every single parent skill I have as being maxed out, and if I gain a single point in any new subskill, it awards benefits and abilities as if I'd maxed the parent skill. I've also now tested older saved games, and whilst I've not suddenly got every parent skill treated as maxed the way a new game has, it does seems to be apply any time I raise a subskill. I got nine new athetlic-based abilities when my Running increased from four to five, including 'Prowess', which raised Running to six and every other athetlic ability from 0 to 1. So, all saves from games made both before and after the patch, but it's a lot more noticable with the new games made with the 1.4.8.0. patch as it affects every single skill, instead of just skills I've changed since loading the save.

Legate of Mineta Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Cael; This is very strange- I'm not able to observe the behavior in our test games. That is, a new game, created using 1.4.8.0! Could you pm me and let me know what steps you have taken you see the issue in a new game, created using 1.4.8.0? Could you also verify which DLC you are using? Thanks!

Schwarzbart Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I just started a new game from my RPG game and just gave +1 to each attribute except of 2 I also asined the new Familiar and some other other background. Right at the start I then haved loot of Abilitys aviable that usual only unlocks late in the game! (Like Write Travelogue)Also many of my Attributes are much Higher then trained!

Legate of Mineta Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Cael and Schwarzbart; I was just able to detect the issue at long last- we'll close this one in Patch 49. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I will have my RPG game on hold till this patch is released even if the damage is already done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Heh, Patch should be forthcoming- I suspect tomorrow, at the latest. Edit: In fact...it may be much, much earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
