Save Games Seed is Different

Post by Ithuriel »

I'm not entirely certain if this is classified as a bug, but it's definitely unintended mechanics. Supposedly LW2 is seeded- if you take the same actions in the same order you'll get the same result, to prevent save scumming indefinitely. However, there is one oddity to this- when you save a game, it doesn't save the same seed as the current game is working with. If you save and take one series of actions, they won't have the same result as if you load back to that save and take the exact same actions. Every time you load that save, though, the same actions will have the same results.

From the above I've concluded that what's happening is that when you create a save file, the stored seed in the save doesn't match the seed the game is using at the time the save was made. This is, if not a bug, then at the least some very unexpected behavior.

This is vanilla behaviour. Probably hard-coded and too troublsome to change.
