This is the official thread for bug reports for 1.8.0 and up.
Please include as much information about what lead up to the bug as possible, and how to reproduce it (if possible). The more details you provide, the easier it is to fix the problem!
I don't anticipate that there will be much in the way of bugs - it should be pretty stable and work well. But, if you happen to notice anything odd, let me know about it!
Thanks!

Short Bug report: In the fight in section 323 there is still -2 subtracted for "unarmed" combat after round 2 and after adding the CS for the weapon.

I'll add one that I just fixed: You could begin your adventure while holding more than 12 special items (the first time we see this limit is in book 8). It now will stop you from beginning and let you know what you need to do (of course, taking into account the gameplay/house rules regarding the max number of special items.)
eazrael, I'll look into it! Thanks.

Short Bug report: In the fight in section 323 there is still -2 subtracted for "unarmed" combat after round 2 and after adding the CS for the weapon. I just tested it out and it was working perfectly on my computer. You lose "-4 CS" because of being unarmed, as well as not getting any weaponmastery or special weapon bonuses. Once the two first rounds are over, you'll see the "-4" leave, and the other bonuses get added in. Would you mind trying it out again? Did you really see a "-2" for unarmed? (Oh, I just checked out the Improved Disciplines section, yes you only lose 2 CS with the right discipline & rank). One thing to look for is the direction that you see the -2 moving (if it moves into your score, it's being added in; if it moves away from your score, it was just taken out.) You can also do some quick math to see if your total CS score is what you would expect based on your various bonuses (you can see what they are on the main stats page). I guess that was a bit long winded. Basically, I think it's working correctly, and I'd love for you to try it again and double check to see if it really is a bug.

Hm, probably it was removed and not "added". Saw it only shortly. I will retry that tomorrow.

Hi Dave, just spotted it when fighting Silver Python. When using Psi-surge, and being on low EP, the bonus +4 CS is removed, but the bonus from Mindblast +2CS is not added until the next combat round Anyway, great work. Simply the best LW software ever

Yeah, you are right, it is being removed not added. Sorry for that wrong report.

Not really a error but something to mention, at section 308 in book 8 there are two ways of interpreting the rules, one way making the fight all but impossible. Twice I've forgot to click the button in the footnote, much to my frustration Anyone else have a thought on this? Switch it, or provide a pop up upon reaching the section so that you won't forget to choose which way to want to play it. This was my first time playing the book, and the first two times I encountered this section I didn't even realize my CS was diminishing every turn. I looked up to see the combat ratio and thought....What the heck, as I was uber killed.

Hmm, maybe I should default to the more common interpretation(-2 EP per round), and have the user click the button to choose the less common one (-2 CS per round.) This could save on some frustration all around... Or, maybe the pop that you describe would be the best solution (certainly easier from my end)
I'll see what I can do for the next release. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, mckinstry!
(Honza, I will look into the Psi-surge/Low-EP/Mindblast thing.)

Okay, worked out a much more elegant solution. You are presented with a CS button and an EP button(with explanatory tooltips) next to the Fight button, and you have to choose one of those options before you can click the Fight button. (So, no accidental starting of combat with CS penalty rules in play). Plus, it only shows you that option if you *don't* have Psi-screen, since Psi-screen keeps you from having a penalty in the first place.
Lastly - fixed the Mindblast/Psi-screen (too low EP mid-combat) thing, Honza. Thanks for the alert!
(Also fixed a bug that kept weapons from correctly multiplying damage, but I introduced that *after* the 1.8.0 release, so it's fixed before anyone gets to see it!)
EDIT: applied a simliar "choice" fix to section 13, allowing players to choose the 4 round or 5 round limit, based on their chosen interpretation of the original problematic text.

Sorry I know we should focus on Book 8 but the times I played I didn't find any bugs or alike.. I found a foot note that probably doesn't belong in Seventh Sense something as look in the table after a riddle but I report if I see it again. Anyhow I had to replay a profile due to my machine shut down due to no battery (Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V disables sleep/hibernation) and my profile missed a Campaign file.. Anyhow when I replayed Book 7 I notice 2 bugs Book 7 - Section 257 If no Huntmastery reduce 2 CS, didn't happen, got plus for the blanket Book 7 - Section 327 I get to chose both options (see image below) I rolled a 6! (I think it was 6.. else if it was a 4 maybe that triggered the first and then the extra 2 bonus triggered the second.. but I'm pretty sure I rolled a 6)

Maybe a bug, maybe not:
book 8, section 17:
I rolled 6, didn't have Lore-circles of Fire and Light, but possessed the Silver Bow.
My arrow failed, but IMHO the +3 bonus from Silver Bow should apply always...

Elegant solution indeed

Elegant solution indeed The new Mongoose publishing books goes with only lose 2EP and not CS as original book so I think even Joer Dever now prefer -2EP

If you find any bugs in *any* book, please report it. I only ask that someone is sure to be using the latest version of the software (1.8.0 as of now). That said, thanks for reporting those bugs - they are both fixed now for the next release. Maybe a bug, maybe not: book 8, section 17: I rolled 6, didn't have Lore-circles of Fire and Light, but possessed the Silver Bow. My arrow failed, but IMHO the +3 bonus from Silver Bow should apply always... Oops, I didn't assign that one as a "bow" shot. I enter the sections sequentially, starting with section 1 and moving up from there. There is nothing in the text of that section to make me think it was a bow shot! (I thought it was a "check to see if you're falling off the bridge" roll.) It's now fixed, so any bonuses from weaponmastery and silver bow will get figured in.
