Possible bug: Arcane scaling not functioning on elemental weapons
The weapons that deal elemental damage (and show Arcane scaling), i.e. the Torch and the Tonitrus, do not benefit from Arcane scaling as it appears they should. I tested this naked (no attire stat bonuses) at 10 Arcane and 99 Arcane (yes, I edited my save file to test this). My other stats were as follows:
| Vitality | 50 | HP | 1500 |
| Endurance | 40 | STM | 160 |
| Strength | 25 | ||
| Skill | 25 | ||
| Bloodtinge | 50 |
I also tested the spell items, Blacksky Eye and A Call Beyond, which appear to be properly benefitting from Arcane scaling and I have included them as reference. All testing was done versus the endgame wheelchair Huntsmen in Iosefka's Clinic (the ones that show up after killing the Winter Lantern). The damage from a single Normal Attack or single spell projectile for each is as follows:
| Weapon/Spell Item | 10 Arcane | 99 Arcane | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Torch +5 | 35 damage | 75 ATK | 35 damage | 75 ATK |
| Tonitrus +5 | 22 damage | 60 ATK | 22 damage | 60 ATK |
| Tonitrus +5 (buffed) | 121 damage | 100 ATK | 121 damage | 100 ATK |
| Blacksky Eye | 77 damage | 250 damage | ||
| A Call Beyond | 106 damage | 360 damage |
I also noticed that when Friendly Dogs Mode is active, certain dogs seem to maintain (or regain?) their ability to move around. This results in sliding dogs which is admittedly humorous and cute. Please don't patch this. XD
Some minor UI bugs I noticed:
After setting the Window resolution in the graphics settings (both from the main menu and when a character save is loaded) and going through a loading screen, the proper resolution is maintained but the option in the graphics settings always returns to 960 x 720 (I assume this is the default resolution). Again, it seems to function properly but the UI could be corrected for clarity.
After turning off either or both Arbitrary Limiters from the main menu and restarting the game or loading a character and returning to the main menu, the Arbitrary Limiters both return to "On." Within a character save, these settings are properly maintained and you never encounter "'intense' visuals" or loading screens in the main menu (duh) so it's not a significant issue but it could be nice to be able to start a new game with either or both of these options turned off if the user so wishes.
On a more sentimental note, thank you so much for making this. You certainly didn't need to work on a project like this that you wouldn't/couldn't make any money from, but I (and I'm sure much of the community) am very appreciative of the time and effort you've put in to make it a reality.
