the question is :
can i use this right after the patches for big mods (knowing it just modify the xp cap, nothing else)=> see my weidu log (i could revert it if  i need to install a new fix of course)
or do i need to do this :
uninstall fixes
install xp fix
reinstall fixes

Don't want to compromise my save game :X

(and no i didn't installed xp cap remover from ease of use)

i checked , i seems to work, but i 'm not sure if i need to uninstall it or not every time i will install a new fix, can i have some insight ?
cluaed above the xp limit saved, reloaded, same amout of xp after i have used the console.

suggestion : could this fix be merged with a next patch for CtB ?

Why didnt you just install the Ease of Use XP cap remover, it would have saved you installing an extra mod.

read the linked thread > http://www.shsforums...34 , the xp cap remover in EoU doesnt solve the pb
if u reload the game u are still stick at 2950000 xp
although the patch allow to go above , but it's a workaround. (it doesn't fixes what causes this, and after what i read, it seems nobody know why ctb does this to the xp cap)

btw i just tested with the ease of use v32 and no help

so my question remain , can use it like it is in my weidu log or do i need to uninstall all fix for big mods first , install it and reinstall those fixes (knowing i don't want to screw up my current save game)
u can check the tp2 file , it modifies one & only one thing = the xp limit entry in the BGMAIN.exe (if i'm correct)

cool - the CtB XP cap returns! :blink:

you are using yacomo's fix in the right place: it's patching BGMAIN.exe directly (as far as i know...) so it won't be altering the chitin.key or the dialog.tlk, so it's order with respect to other mods (other than CtB, obviously) won't matter. so you can install it at the end of yr mod install process without any fear of it interfering with anything already installed.

tx for the reply Saneas

er yes, CtB XP cap returns

i noticed the pb, while Valygar reach 3000000 xp , but wasn't satisfy with my proficies choice, so i reload the game (yeah i save everytime one char lvl up), and when i reloaded the game stick at the SoA xp restriction :blink:
