[BUG]Weight Limit depends on item placement in backpack

Post by Devil »

Right I know the title sounds weird, and hell if I can think of a proper way to explain this, so.. screen-shot time

Take note I've only moved the 2 items around - Weight goes to yellow if either of the bottom right and one from the right slots are filled, (slots where the ring and necklace are) Moving the ring and necklace to different slots / exchanging them with other items doesn't cause the weight to go into the yellow.

I've made a separate save for replicating the problem / if a dev wants it.

Notice your Skills tab highlights as if there is a skill change. Maybe you have lost a beneficial temp spell or something.

Nope - I have a spare single skill point that I had no idea where to put, so was saving it for later :roll:

In the second screenshot, after you've moved the item, the portrait of your fourth character shows that he has been slowed (i.e. the snail icon). Does this adverse effect change (revert) when the item is returned to the first position? Did you character become affected independently, and it merely coincided with your moving items around?

Yes Zork that is correct, if I move the item back the weight is still the same number, but is in white instead, "affected independently" - explain what you mean please.

the only difference is moving items around, I can repeat the process and its still the same.

I should point out this isn't a huge problem - I can just drop something / carry on with the game, it isn't game breaking or anything, but its prob something the devs may want to take a look at

This is likely due to the fact, that when the sum of weights is calculated it is accumulated in the order of their place in the inventory. And with floating point numbers the result can differ slightly. You don't see the actual, internally used, weight in the UI, but only a rounded value.
So the raw unrounded value in one case is below the encumbrance threshold and above in the other case. But the rounded value you see is the same for both cases.
