Ambush disabled by saving.
« on: August 05, 2017, 07:35:51 am »
1. Download a save https://www.dropbox.com/s/t0dzm9w2gt42izg/SaveDisablesAmbush.zip?dl=0
2. Aim at armory guard. THC should be 89%.
3. Quicksave.
4. THC is 75% :(
5. Quickload.
6. THC is back to 89% :)

Same with manual saves.

I couldn't find this problem being mentioned neither here nor on steam forums.

I did mention it in my pistolero build, i was just ... too lazy to report a bug :-[

Can confirm it happens to me too.

Also another thing related to Ambush- if you throw a grenade, the light level in its area of effect is set to max until the next turn- meaning you can throw a grenade at an enemy standing in total darkness and get the Ambush bonus until the next turn.

I think it isn't actual Ambush bug - it is something general with engine, you can see number of THC are changing upon reload in many cases.

It probably has something to do with light level rather than Ambush itself.

Yeah, there's something going on with the light level calculations. I'll have to look into it when I get the time. It's not a priority, though, given how specific it is.

I think Fenix is on the right track.
I just checked and you guys are right. Same thing happens without Ambush. Moreover, with Night Vision Goggles active THC does not change.

It means the problem affects all ranged weapon users and stealthers.
