Stein doesn't give XP when defeated

Starting a new run after a long time off with a nice CG C/R and managed to find Stein in the graveyard for the first time in ages (not sure if his problems were ever fixed but hey).

I fought him and his gang and noticed he doesn't give any XP when defeated. He colleagues give 1000XP each when the go down.

This appears to be a bug - where can we report it for the next patch? Cheers

    Next patch?

    Last patch was 4 years ago, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for another.

    Yeah, Stein is just randomly worth 0 XP. Happens sometimes.

    As for his appearance issue ... it's that he's placed just a bit wrong, and that location is inside a wall. Unless he randomly jiggles a bit, he'll be stuck there where you can't find or interact with him.

    There are mod fixes. I have one in my tweaks, and that is also in the EE Fixpack. (Basically, just move him a bit)

    Yes indeed, oddly if you look on the Fandom website they attribute the current Stein problems to a glitch to the "matrix" caused by "solar disturbances" (?) They also say he's more likely to appear under the current circumstances during Chapt 6, which I'm more inclined to believe than the website's previous statement.

    More importantly, is there a bug-list I can put his 0XP on for the next fix? Are there any other 0XP anomalies we should be aware of? I remember stating to Beamdog that you got 0XP for the thugs that had poisoned the Harper you need to take to Rylock and they confirmed it was a bug that the monsters were not linked to their correct XP values and they fixed it. Cheers
