Apparently after investing significant points into stats, it drops your level by the appropriate amount you committed. However, it then requires exp investment equal to the last level you reached to gain even one level. If you sacrifice a bunch of stats at once, it makes leveling extremely difficult, even with all of the EXP boosts.

Whenever I try to get my patreon key, it tells me that it could not connect to the website

I don't know if you could look into some automated tests then? Surely there's gotta be some unit-test-suite to help you out with testing rewards and other basic logic that requires no user input?

unfortunately thats the nature of game making, change one system and something somewhere breaks. All the XP stuff should be fixed in the hotfix monday though. I wasn't aware of XP having a problem before, except for the combat results showing you gained less than you did, thats been fixed.

so far I've experienced: -After killing an enemy I gained xp infinitely until I slotted in points -Before this I was getting far less XP than normal -Got nothing from barrels and chests -kept falling through bridges in the sewer -Game constantly crashes from line 130 bug, while time varies between each crash, I haven't been able to play for longer than 5 minutes or so without a crash -Points do not subtract when buying an ability, allowing me to buy as much as I want -the camera zooms out when I put points in size -the game doesn't remember my growth speed settings

There’s a bug with the sewer dungeon, where every time you try to cross any of the little bridges at the start of the dungeon, you just fall through it, and end up stuck in that little water canal

Is there any way to permanently fix the bugs? XP has been a problem since the very start, how does it get messed up every other update?

Hm, every enemies I kill seem give me less xp. And Chests/barrels doesn't give anything.

ah ok I was asking about commands due to kinda like stepping past that cus its kinda hard to get off the ground without leveling

spimble

DigitalFurBelow

I found an issue where it takes like 100x more xp to start leveling up at the start also are there any commands for xp or points?

spimble

i killed one enemy in the big dungeon across the bridge and now i seem to be infinitely levelling up

DigitalFurBelow

sounds like its setting it to the wrong resolution. Have you tried forcing fullscreen with like Alt+Enter

I encountered an issue when I opened up the game and the menu, as well as the UI in the game is far too zoomed in and proceeds off screen. I attempted to access settings, but it didn't respond when I clicked it.

I'm pretty sure instancing wont help, thats mainly for when you have hundreds of objects and things like the grass already are.

I noticed the outside map (and levels in general) seem to be taking up alot of cpu/gpu power. For the unreal engine there is an instancing method that drastically reduces the strain on the gpu/cpu for any model that is copy and pasted in different positions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMIbV2rQO4k
