exit game and restarting in windowed until I can generate an item drop

[One-Eye Jack]

From  11:30 this morning until about 30 min ago I have  done nothing but restart the game in windowed mode various sizes, all difficulties and as many combinations of other settings and default characters races etc as I could. every single time first screen walk right to church, enter it, leave it, enter it and every single time without fault bb priest drops her shield in the floor. The only time ever I have seen no drops was that one window launch and the only thing remarkable about it was it was the first ever time I launched a window run of the game. so  I uninstalled completely re-installed launched a first time ever window mode launch, walked right to church, entered, left, entered and there was bb priest shield. exactly what I would expect since it is still in her slot II. It is almost as if on that one launch the glitch that causes the drops had a glitch that wouldn't allow the drops.

 

Does any of what I am posting have any use? Is someone already aware of the root cause and already writing a fix? If so please let me know, ever since I realized I could control the drops to some degree by not having shields in slot II or then not selling BB items and then the BB wizard madness, all I do is run around trying to make them happen then trying to figure how  to not make it happen which is entirely pointless if  the root of the issue has already been determined.

 

Thanks

'OEJ, I suggest you take a look at the "How to report bugs thread" (http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/66758-how-to-format-for-reporting-bugs/), as well as the "Known issues list" (http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/66785-known-issues-list/) because I'm no dev and I can't make any sense of what you're actually trying to report in most of your threads.

uh.. I had read those links and my format is precisely that minus the step #1, step #2  preceding each line, figured that was just unnecessary key strokes... Reads line by line like a play by play.

 

but if anyone responds that any info on how to cause or stop the inventory drops is still useful I will take the time to edit each post into a longer easier to understand version. Like I said above no need to waste time. And I did of course read the known issues hence I posted all this. known issue does not mean solved issue. Saying I saw the bug over and over makes it known, no need to keep saying I saw it. But I am listing step by step literally click by click of how it generates and how it can be manipulated. this is entirely different than posting over and over that I saw a pile of items here or there, or that I had a crossbow stuck between my legs. It has always been my understanding that kind of information can be useful in finding the bad code. However once the code at fault has been found then all that is left is to fix it. Hence my post at 2:58 because I have logged about 40hours in 3 days just chasing the bug around and documenting it.

 

Cheers !!
