Hmm. Saw the general report for that on PPG, but didn't think it would affect BGT CREs, because they all use v2 EFFs.

They don't on my install. Is this a recent change in BGT? (I think my local version is from January this year)

Unless SCS is overwriting BGT bears with Tutu bears and *then* ADD_CRE_EFFECTing those (I doubt it, but who knows... the code is likely written in something akin to Linear A).

No, I don't do that. The broken version of Faster Bears just runs an ADD_CRE_EFFECT on anything with a bear animation (and so breaks the file whenever the bear in question is v1).

Well, I'm using the latest version but I could've sworn Ascension64 or the BGT dev notes saying this was done a while back. I have a BWP-type install though (for testing) so it's plausible a mod could've done it (any of the mods mentioned on PPG that use Nythrun's EFF-changing macro, such as aTweaks or L1NPCs). *All* of the CREs I looked at were v2 though; some affected by few or no mods.

If you can live with it that every creature with a bear animation won't drop its inventory when it is disintegrated, and that they give 100% instead of 75% XP when you kill them, do the following:

Navigate to your BG2 directory, go to scs II/backup/3530 and copy every file with a .cre extension into your override folder.

But before that make a backup of your override folder just to be safe.

That only applies to the bear component, if SCS II v14 and SCS v15 have other critical bugs it's best advised to heed the recommendation of DavidW.
