Melfs Minute Meteors continues to give 5 APR after all the meteors are thrown until game is saved. Same for Energy Blades (but APR 9).

    Can you upload a saved game where your character has one or both of those spells memorized?

    My sorcerer was removed from BP2 arena with Energy Blades still active and as a result he is now permanently Improved Hasted with 9 APR. I'm not complaining but maybe someone wants to prevent this bug from happening in the future. :smiley:

    Yeah, it's on the list @Yannir‌ so I've moved your report here.
    Thanks

    i really hope somebody makes a hotfix for this. it seems a little cheaty, especially if I were to have a fighter/mage get this bug. as it stands I'll likely be avoiding ever using any of those spells unless it is fixed.

    Was just thinking since my monk suddenly got a -14 AC bonus after hitting lvl 35. And his AC was alrdy -14.

    Anybody have any leads on a fix for this?

    I love MMM, but 5 APR at level 8 is pretty crazy.

    Not a real fix but better than nothing.

    When summoned item in weapon slots vanishes any acquired by spell buff still remain in that slot and permanently affecting slot and any weapon that was before in that slot.

    Anybody have any leads on a fix for this?

    5 apr will vanish after 60sec even if meteors still not used.
    put this into Override folder

    Energy Blades 4 min
  • MaxxximusMaxxximus Member Posts: 322
    42 sec just enough for shoot ~17 meteors.
  • MaxxximusMaxxximus Member Posts: 322
    Energy Blades 26 sec just enough for shoot all of them.

    Quick question - I placed the above hotfix in my override folder but Melf's Minute Meteors are still being treating the same way in-game (as an unequippable magic item). Is there any place specific in the override folder this file should go? Thanks!
  • MasterChefMasterChef Member Posts: 43
    Nevermind the above, I got it to work.

    Is there any way we could get an Energy Blades fix like the MMM fix Timebomb provided? Thanks!

    @Gate70 A similar issue affects Druids who are in one of their available forms when a battle ends. After returning to the Market area, the Druid is displayed as a wolf / sword spider / earth elemental / etc., but his / her stats ( thac0 & AC ) refer to the human form!

    I can't reproduce this @Luke93 as the shifted stats remain. Is this Android/iPad and are you using a language other than English - might as well try to reproduce on the same terms.
    Thanks

    @Gate70 I'm playing the game in English on an iPad.

    EDIT: To be honest, I can't reproduce the "issue" anymore. Perhaps, I simply was wrong.

    OK, or it's intermittent :(
  • DregothofTyrDregothofTyr Member Posts: 229
    It also happens with ammo like arrows and crossbow bolts.

    This sounds really similar to what I'm experiencing with cursed bows and crossbows :

    Say you have a cursed bow from a mod or you could modify mana bow (BOW13) for testing, when it is removed by a Remove Curse the attached effects of the bow remain indefinitely.

    Arg! I should have started a new thread for this. My bad.

    Hello there! :)

    I have recently discovered this major problem to the game. The bug doesn't only effect Melf's Minute Meteors, but all kinds of equipment that disapears such as arrows and darts. This means that not only does it make a mage overpowered with Melf's minute meteors and the like, but also make your warriors increasingly powerful handling e.g. a 2-handed sword after fireing some arrows since a bow usually has more APR than a normal sword.

    Does anyone know when a new patch will be released? I simply cannot play the game whilst knowing this major downside to the game. Very disapointed indeed.

    I made some in-depth test which I described in this thread:
    https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44774/melfs-minute-meteors-5-attacks-per-round-fix
    I ll just copy-paste what I wrote:
    I just tested the extension of that bug to bows as @MWO mentioned.
    Here is how I just did it
    Equipped Tuigan bow on a lvl 24 blackguard who's specialized in shortbow, with gauntlet of extraordinary specialization. That's 5APR.
    I equipped one single arrow and used it on the first Umber hulk I could find.
    My character automatically switched for Unholy Reaver which is the other weapon he has equipped, that's the normal behaviour when running out of ammo. He kept his 5 APR instead of getting back to 3.
    I tested it with three types of arrow, namely +2, Dispelling and Detonation, worked the same way.
    I then tried it with the other ranged weapons that modify APR, namely darts and throwing daggers, it behaved exactly as with the bows and arrows:
    When running out of ammo you will keep the base APR of the ranged, and add any bonus (E.G. proficiencies) you have to this.
    Reloading fixes this as well.
    Regarding how it behaves with various ranged weapon, if you use, let's say a bow, run out of ammo and switch for a sling which has 1 base APR, you will have the normal sling APR.
    If you do the same and switch for a melee/ranged weapon, i.e. a magical returning throwing axe/hammer, you will retain the APR from the bow


    Note that it works as well with any melee weapon from a shapeshifting, if you dispel it with, for example a shocking grasp in a sequencer. Not too sure whether it is related however since this particular bug lasts since the first release of BG2 while I believe MMM/EB bugs are EE-only.
