Elder Covenant does not fuction since Valentine's Update / increments "season changes" counter by 5. #22

Elder Covenant does not function at all when Cookie Monster is loaded in Cookie Clicker v.1.0411. When purchasing it, it immediately becomes available for purchase again, and does not set "appeased" status. Sometimes "Elder Covenant" and "Revoke Elder Covenant" will be available for purchase at the same time.

More dangerously, every time an attempt to made to purchase "Elder Covenant", the new stat that tracks the number of season changes is incremented by 5. I'm using this page to see that stat:

This is dangerous because it prevents actual season changes from being feasible. The cost of season changes is exponential based on this stat, so mashing the Elder Covenant button a lot of times will actually result in the cost of season changes becoming "Infinity" as shown in the attached image (I took the screenshot with Cookie Monster disabled, but the damage was already done). infinity

Loading Cookie Monster also seems to increase the "season changes" counter by 3 each time. This can be circumvented by exporting, loading Cookie Monster, and importing to undo the increment.

Attempting to activate Elder Covenant (which doesn't work) also immediately changes the season to Halloween.

Other actions such as clicking a golden cookie seems to also increase the "season changes" counter by 3 & result in unexpected changes to the season: I've seen it change to Halloween and Valentines (a temporary 24-hour Valentine as would be invoked by a season change upgrade, not the permanent Valentines that you're supposed to be in if you haven't purchased any season change upgrades).

Other weird things are happening like Wrinklers spontaneously popping when clicking golden cookies.

Someone found a way to reset the "season changes" counter in the Javascript console if it's been artificially inflated by this bug:

Game.seasonUses=0; Game.computeSeasonPrices();
