It's good to know this so I can avoid the problem at least. This thread should be made sticky for everyone to see.

 

And while we are at it - please hotfix Rogue's Reckless Assault and other toggable abilities that can't be turned off too, I fear it could lead to bloated save pretty quickly:

I'm playing a Human Male Fighter, I am just in the beginning of the game (the forest in the 2:d map) and my Active Effects have always been empty. I really hope it's suppose to be.

I made a bug report about it.

This alien bug killed my character. Here's a bump for hoping Mr. Brennecke finds a retroactive solution to ressurect my fallen hero.

Now that's unfortunate, I used double-click right from the start. I'm just five hours in, so I'm thinking about restarting the game. Hopefully a fix will be announced soon.

Wow this sucks! Confirmed! Do I really have to start over?!?! I can't believe this bug was in the release! I'm so pissed!

Just wanted to say thank you for the quick response guys.  

Does the talent vanish from the character's sheet or does it just stop working ? I'm trying to figure out if I'm victim from this bug too.

 

EDIT : My Fire-Godlike talent still work anyway. Not sure for the rest of it.

 

It disappears from the sheet.  See the reddit thread, shows it in action.  http://www.reddit.com/r/projecteternity/comments/30lmx2/psa_doubleclicking_equipment_bug/

It is possible to give the main character a "duplicate" of the skill, which will take effect. (cf. this thread with console commands: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71903-console-commandscheats/page-3)

 

I do not know, however, if you can remove the duplicate skill in case the much anticipated fix is retroactive... wouldn't want my character to wind up with two "Towering Physique", "Armored Grace", and "Confident Aim" buffs permanently active.

Is there any update on whether the fix will be retroactive or not?

 

I mean seriously starting over would suck for so many people!

It's a bit sad that I read about a lot of bugs on these forums that were known in the early beta...

 

Like double click to equip causing weird things, missing inventory items and such. I wonder if it's all related to some messed up UI code. Back in the early beta all kinds of equipment and other items went missing or armors duplicated when double clicking these to swap them.

 

 

 

To replicate this bug you have to switch any equipment by double clicking, equip- and unequipping works fine with a double click.

I've successfully swapped hoods, capes and armors to lose the active racial effects.

 

Maybe it has to do with some arbitrary UI code or a bad function call or an outdated function that messes with references/pointers that store character data...

Yes, they are working on it. Developer reply on page 3.

Ok, I guess I'll have to put PoE on hold for now. Ugh! I was so enjoying the game.

I'm just resigned to enjoying it bugs and all.  I reroll/restart incessantly in these types of games.

 

I'll just try and remember not to double-click items to swap equipped items.  And not to equip items "of the Unconquerable".  And to move all companion equipment to the Stash before dismissing them.  And to not create or reload saved games.  And… *head 'splodes*

That's a joke right!??! It's sad that I have to ask.

 

Oh and what bug is this one? "of the Unconquerable"

Well now I know why my cypher isn't gaining focus while striking anymore... lost my soul whip...

Infinite intellect stacking and Soul Whip not working. Bugs of Eternity.

I think Bester will include a RemoveAbility command in the IE mod soon, so you should be able to remove some duplicates. However, it seems to not only be the explicit abilities that are affected. For example, I have duplicated stat bonuses from equipment, and endurance bonuses which I cant seem to get rid of. I also seem to have -2 DR on the Paladin permanently...

You can use IE mod to redo the character creation and get everything back. it clears your abilities though so you would have to re-add everything.

No, it wont fix the problem. It does clear some duplicated stuff (explicit abilities), but not modifiers to attributes, skills, DR, defences, accuracy or endurance. All those hidden modifiers get duplicated in the same way, but is not cleared by ChangeClass.

Unless you get access to a bugzilla you're not really part of a beta, you're part of a PR program.

How can I test if this has actually effected my character? I'm a human wizard and low enough level that my only passive is Fighting Spirit and that seems to activate regards of whether I double click to swap items or not? Also my attributes don't change either

I've tried to replicate this bug, but haven't been able to. Is it a 100% chance for other uses?

Still waiting for the patch

I have stopped playing 

Crap, I know I double-clicked things in the inventory, but I don't really know if it affected me, guess I'll wait for the patch to keep playing, hoping they'll successfully make it retro-active.
