Error with Low-XP mode

Post by bthorns »

I decided to try the mode of leveling where you get less experience from quests and a "reward" item from quest completion. It worked great but I have had a couple of instances where it errors "Too many instructions". The quest would complete, the item I needed to turn in to complete it would still be in my inventory, I would get the normal quest reward (XP and money and stone or something like that), but I would not get the "reward" item from low experience mode. Should I stop leveling?

It just a simple while loop that goes through your party and looks to see what the quest state is. Sounds like a game engine bug. Evidently the function sees your party size as infinite. I will add a counter to break out of the function after a certain amount of tries.

Awesome thanks!

Here is a screenshot of my latest error, after turning in the 2nd Advisor quest in Oasis.

Does your PC have nothing but Magic Bags full of items?

How many items do you have in your inventory?

Oh, there is plenty of room for sure, at least a couple tabs open. I will pay more attention to it though, maybe it was trying to drop a polearm and I didn't have room there.

It's not a huge deal, I might be one of few people doing the low-XP mode, lol.

I cannot duplicate the error even with your character.

It was working fine with no problems up until I got to Oasis. Odd.

I had the same issue - no item from first oasis quest. Took a screenshot if that helps. Was running two toons, but only one of them was on the low XP path. Both got the message about too many instructions, and both got stones. Low XP toon got reduced XP and stones but no item. Think there was reasonable inventory room but can't say for certain. Haven't done any more oasis quests since, but did one of the Bordermarch ones and got an item as expected.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you want the screenshot - think it's saved somewhere...

Also inventory had loads of space as per screen grab, so don't think it is that

Sorry - you are probably sick of this but my theory is more info usually helps - character did the second advisor quest and got reward as expected (belt of balance) - so might be random or related to the item??
