I hope i'm not being annoying, but I found another bug. This never happened to me before I installed CtB.

I'll spend loads of time earnin oodles of XP, but whenever I load a saved game (even auto and quicksaves), it resets my XP back down to 3150000.

Using CLUA or Shadowkeeper doesn't work. It still resets it whenever I load a game.

Any workaround suggestions? It seems I just keep running into these kind of things.

Still trying to fix this. No luck so far. I did discover that it starts reseting my XP to 315000 when I reach level 25.

Has anyone else experienced this problem at all?

Sounds like it's your XPCAP.2DA file. CtB doesn't touch that. In fact, neither SoS nor CtB touches that file.

Does anyone have an unmodified XPCAP.2DA file they could mail me? Send in to blitzerland@hotmail.com (not blitz@hotmail.com...sorry)

Sorry about writing "blitz@hotmail.com." I just got it.

Please make sure it is the ToB version.

How about one that sets the cap to 20,000,000? Just change the file extension from txt to 2da.

You know what? That just might be better.

And...it works!

Thanks, CBisson, for spotting the problem!

And thanks to Stone Wolf for fixing it, of course!

NOOOOO!!!

Upon further testing...it didn't fix it. Are you SURE it isn't CtB, CBission?

Ah, well. I give up. Doing a full reinstall.

You could use NI to search all scripts for the xp value you get set to. That'll find out if it's a script messing things up.

And on a side note, I must've logged myself off by accident...somehow.

You know, i'd be a filthy weasel if I said I was having a good day.

One question, what good is a 20 million XP cap if I can't go beyond level 40 anyway? I'll download it just for the huge number, though. 

There are several level 50 rulepacks floating around. I believe one is in Westley Weimer's Ease-of-Use mod.

I myself made one which allows you to have 50/50/50 fighter/mage/thieves and fighter/mage/clerics, and reach level 49 in one class, then dual and reach level 50 in another! Obviously you'd either have to play through the game several times or cheat to get that powerful .

I'm wondering if you'd been playing a particular kit or mod-kit that would have an XP penalty applied.

[Blitz]

I'm playing as a Swashbuckler, and I have the grandmastery/truemastery ease-of-use installed...but that only lets me get more proficincies (why shouldn't a Swashbuckler be able to get even better with a longsword??), and doesn't really modify the kit.

Oh, and I recently did a clean-install (patched, etc), and I still have this problem.

Man, this is perplexing. Could some benevolent person take a look at my saved game or character file?

EDIT: Sorry, but it is getting late and i'm barely awake/alive. I'll post more in the morning. Let me know if you think of anything, or, email me at appleseth4@centurytel.net (my other address)....please

Blitz, you are not alone.

I too have hit the XP cap problem. My first time through CtB v148 I maxed out at 2.8m just as in an unmodded SOA game. I figured the XP cap remover was overwritten or overridden somehow. Several other Ease-of_Use elements were flaky as well. For example, scrolls would stack but not potions.

I reloaded EoU and all was fine untill I maxed experience. I reloaded the XP cap remover and then I experienced Blitz's problem. Experience would increase during game play. But once the game was reeloaded experience was reset to 2.8m.

I did a reinstall and upgrade to v150. I haven't had any EoU issues in my current game. My character is closing in on 2.8m. I'll let you know if I have the problem again.

[Blitz]

Yes! I'm not alone!

I tried installing XP cap removers, but it doesn't work.

Maybe CBission will drop in in an hour or so and enlighten us.

[Blitz]

Wierd. But I haven't deleted anything from my overide folder yet.

It sure looks like this was included purposly in CtB.
