SirVimes,

Please tell us the state of the buff bug on test center today. I have read conflicting reports on whether or not it is actually fixed. Some test people say that it is, other say that it is not. I tend to believe it is not.

What can you tell us?

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure if I will be able to get on until maybe tomorrow...but I will check.

So far as I can see, food buffs are working on Test Center exactly as they have since around 10/22. Stats increase and decrease correctly when foods and drinks are stacked, except for a brief double decrease that occurs (and is immediately corrected) when the last buff wears off.

I have tested this with domestic arts foods. Saark5 has tested with chef foods. Curiously, some of the other bugs out there seem to suggest that buffs from foraged foods, crafted foods, doctors, spice, and entertainers are actually governed by different code. For instance, a few days ago, doctor and spice buffs to primary stats were being used up (like shields) when the buffed character took damage. I tested this with food buffs the very same day and the problem did not occur.

The easiest way to see for sure is to make a Test Center character and use their starting credits to buy a stack of crafted (not foraged) food.
