Bugs Thread

[camelotcrusade]

I've made an update for fixed bugs. Appreciate posts like yours Ivra, where you confirm bugs that are definitely fixed. They usually include some fixes and tweaks that aren't reported, so keep an eye out.

Things I am wondering if testers have time:

• Did the book of evil fix correct everything? It had problems with super stats, no charges on drain ability, and drain itself was typically too weak to use. Wondering if I can mark the whole thing as fixed.
• Does timeless actually work yet? Used to extend duration and show the icon, but not actually apply the spell. This has been on the list forever.
• All sorts of fixes to rune chain. does it show the correct damage now and inflict it, too, without a crash
• Are all the bugs with avenging angel fixed? Including the rare one where if an enemy has it on him and you hit him with spell, the counter doesn't reduce?
• Do enemies still try to kill powder kegs and blow themselves up?
• Does the fix to the Black Spot quest by chance refer to the quest Black Label?
• Does greasy mist still stack with multiple castings? I couldn't tell if the update about spells modifying damage applied to this or not.

• Book of Evil still shows Book Strength of 0% (despite description saying otherwise) with creation level 3, int of 22, etc that is when you mouse over it in the spellbook.
  
  I did not test it in combat yet though.
  
• Actually, if you do hit an enemy with a spell, is avenging angel's counter supposed to decrease? I only mentioned that earlier because I got sick of seeing a guy resist all my fiery rage attacks, spell attacks, only to take 1 point of damage.
  
• Well, I'm confused on the Black Spot / Black Label thing because the actual item is a black spot for the quest where you can throw Gorefiend under the bus or not. In any event, there is one last option for it (I think you can choose to let him go) and then it 'dead ends' there. That's the one they are talking about.

@ work right now so I can’t be to specific, but I remember there were more title achievements problems than there’re on the list. Basically you don’t get credit for accomplishing them; although the game itself recognized these titles.

Well it seems that most quests are fixed time to give another go.

Awesome work with this thread.

After some quick testing, book of evil's drain ability is back to having charges but it's still too weak to use. Mine had 430 hp with 20-something intellect and rank in creator... what am I gonna eat that has 430 hp for the whole stack? Also, I don't see any boost from creator skill either, adding it to the entry.

The resurrection tooltips are fixed for me (and I know some players never had this issue) so I'm happy about that.

A general call to everyone reading this thread: if you start over, let me know if any of the quests still marked as bugged are in fact functioning. Some of them have been on the list for a loooong time so it's possible they were fixed earlier and never officially communicated.

I saw a good candidate to eat. Another book of evil. Yeah, your findings match what I expected (since it says book strength is 0%). So no bonus beyond default base values.

More tidbits. Kamikaze bug fixed for me (no more hangups). And Patch 4 reinstated the ranged penalty for Rune Mages and modified the description on Runic Staff to specify it has a penalty for "far targets." Meh.

Does anybody know what file controls ranged penalties? Curious if it's tied to the ability "runic staff" or if there is a master list of which units get ranged penalties and which ones don't.
