Difficulty Bug #41

Open Glowhyena opened 5 months ago

Glowhyena commented 5 months ago

The difficulty level is set to Hotshot, the orb or energy gives 12 when picked up and the robots have more HP. I quit the game to return to the desktop and then relaunch the game, and load a saved file, weirdly, the orb or energy gives 18 instead of 12 and the robots have less HP. But the difficulty level is already set to Hotshot.

I destroyed the robots faster than expected until I noticed that by testing them out while picking up an orb. I found a weird solution: Open the pilot screen, do not click anything there, and close it to return to the main menu. Load a saved file, and the difficulty level will return to Hotshot.

Please fix the issue before I get frustrated when I forget to do the ticky. Ha! So, I would appreciate it!

UPDATE: Relaunching the game isn't the only thing that triggers the bug. Loading a saved file while playing does, such as you make a mistake or you know that you gonna get killed, and then load the saved file.

This is a bug from OG if you bypass the pilot selection screen using the -pilot switch. Without it the pilot selection comes up every startup and the correct difficulty is set. I never had problems with the difficulty resetting after loading a game.

... Oh, rly? So, I removed the -pilot... The bug is solved!

Thank you very much, pilot! :D
