Item properties are missing

GuJiaXian

I noticed today that all of my NWN:EE character's items no longer have properties. For example, a worn belt of agility +4 no longer adds +4 to my Dex. I cannot use healing potions at all. Bags of holding still open, and you can still put items in them, but they no longer reduce the weight of the items within them. I'm still able to use bandages, but most other items, including all equipment, seems to be thus affected. These items can still be dropped, sold, etc., and they still have weight. However, they have no other properties.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I remember seeing exactly that in one of the Ravenloft modules:

I don't see any resolution there for the issue. Do you happen to recall what was done?

Proleric

I can't remember whether I raised a ticket, or just put it down to a quirk in the module. Sorry!

GuJiaXian

No worries. I did submit a ticket with Beamdog, so hopefully something comes of that. In the meantime, though, the game is unplayable. Ah, well.

OK, I found the source of the issue: The obelisk quest in chapter 2 (beneath the beholder caves). See here for more info: https://steamcommunity.com/app/704450/discussions/0/1735507058418480575/

Once your save is affected by this bug, there's no known fix short of using console commands to give yourself new copies of all of your equipment. Sigh.
