bug - dual tech/magic player and stat problems occuring

I am currently playing a half tech/halfmagic user. I have used both magical and tech items throughout the game, some which alter the same stat.
I float between +15 and -15 aptitude. I made an interesting discovery the other night. For some reason the game has reduced my base stats below normal after I take off all of the items I am wearing and it gives bonuses to this sta when I replace things, but the base stat is still reduced.
ok, (and no, I have no permenant injuries/hexes/etc...) I have a base 8 dex. I put one point into it around 5 level. I then used gloves of dexterity(+2 dex) throughout most of the game. I also use two tech charged rings for most of the game as well. I know that the bouses change as my aptitude changes, depending on what item is giving me full bonuses... so I get to aptitude +1 and I see that my dex doesnt have all of the bonuses it should( I assume at 0-1 +/- aptitude, both should work at full effect...maybe...) But what I find out is that my dex is red and reduced to 7 after removing everything!
I have a similiar problem with my PE.
Anyone know a work around for this bug??? please?

Here are the responses to every technical question, because that is all I can give you.

Make sure you have the latest patch and load back to before you had this problem and try again.

It is always a possibility that you did not add those points in, perhaps you had to revert to an earlier save.

 

Look in your injury log, and also in blessings / curses. Have you handled the Blackstone Blade? It will lower DX permanintly each time you equip it. This does not show in the logbook.

 

learned that from a previous character.
No, I am actively seeking blessings from the gods, but have not gotten a curse( I know the order from previous experience).
This is in fact a bug. I was just wondering if anyone had a work around?
I cant even alter effect.mes to make it go away - it is my BASE stat which has been reduced, not a stat alteration. No injuries/curses/hexed items( I stay away from them with a passion).

 

Some blessings / curses do not come from the gods but show up in the logbook. The Gipsy blessing / curse & Stringy Peete's curse are only two. (Or is that three?) I know of no curse or cursed item that lowers PE.

Start with the obvious.

No helmet? O. K. didn't think so.

Patched & not modded?

Tried the repair option on the install disk?

Do you have an eariler save? Any concept of where / when this started?

I have heard of a lot of bugs, but this one is new on me.

Two fourms, same place. Good luck.

 

I have tried it all. I just dont think that many other players have played a absolutley neutral magic/tech character before and thus, this hasn't shown up.
I mean I make sure that every point spent that effects aptitude is balanced next point by an opposite one being spent. I use an equal number of stat enhancing tech/magic items... this obviously wasnt taken into full consideration somewhere...
And as to when it started, looks like way back around when I started using the charged rings with the gloves of dexterity together( level 12 - I am at level 37 now) sigh....
I have a very good knowledge of the game and it's mechanics, but this one has me by the prov. balls.

 

Have a friend who is running a dead neutral techno mage. Never more than 6 points off. Runs GoDX, Charged Rings & the Trapmaker's Specs. Never a problem. Others have run techno mages as well. I cherefuly mix gear on my neutral followers. This is not your punishment for mixing magic & tech. Some other problem & an unusual one at that.

Try those forums.

 

somethings def. screwed in my game - I got the two naked guys in a field with a chest crash last night as well.
I cant even get the cd to autorun either - so bringing up the fix option isnt happening.
May just have to scrap this game altogether for now...

 

Use "run" to open the disk. It sounds like you may have issues beyond the game. Here is a good place to start looking. Do the Ctrl - Alt - Del thing to find out how much background clutter is running. All you need on to run the game is explorer & systray. having 4 or 5 tasks running is GOOD. 6 - 12 is average. Many have over 20 tasks going all the time, never knowing about it & desperately needing the system resources they suck up.

Good luck.
