Very unusual bug... damage tables?

    This one came totally out of the blue. I booted up the game and for some reason the damage calculation is all messed up - it looks as if the randomisation has flaked out, as damage now appears to be fixed. Individual weapons all do fixed damage with every hit, offensive spells as well. I honestly can't think of anything I could've done to cause this, and removing the most recent override alterations does nothing to help, so I'm guessing a reinstall might be in order. Just curious though, has anyone ever seen anything like this before?

    The spell damage isn't in a table, it's in each spell's own .SPL file, so I'm really not sure about this bit. Reinstalling is about the only thing I can think of.

    You could try leveling up a spellcaster and see if this changes the spell damage. If it does, then you've indeed got the most unusual bug I've seen.

    Eugh, false alarm. I'd suspected something like this... I'd accidentally left the game on easy mode and was smacking my own party members around to test various weapons, wondering why the damage was so messed up. :shame:

    Sorry everybody!
