Lost mutations

[James Clayton]

Some of my mutations that are protected by Starched Genes have disappeared. I noticed it when i could no longer jump high because Marsupial was gone. Anyone else notice this happening?

Did you take Rad-X?

There is a "feature" where on occasion, your legendary special points don't apply fast enough so the game will automatically unslot perk cards to get you down to the original number.

It then applies the special points, but doesn't give you the cards. For me, it is usually "batteries included" that doesn't slot so I can't move.

But it might be that Starched Genes got unslotted and you got messed up.

Yeah possibly rad-x, you can pop a dilluted rad-x to cancel it and get them back... but more likely its

A not uncommon feature, but just uncommon enough that you stop checking for it and then you get an unwanted mutation or suddenly lose a lot of them

It has also been reported with people without legendary luck losing it, so its really just a server fails to load the special as fast as it loads your cards


basically

You actually have 12 luck

Server loads you in,

Server loads up your special load out, starts counting 1.......... 2......... 3........ and sees you have 11

Server goes oh you can't have those cards equipped, silly cheater.

Server then removes the most painful to not have on perk card, that'll teach them

Server then goes ........... 12. oh look the player actually has 12 luck

Server goes well no need to recheck what perk cards that player had equipped, I'm sure I did it right earlier

It does seem to be reported FAR more frequently with players who have legendary cards equipped for stat bonuses

Where it loads SPECIA then finally L and can be like 10 luck points and this cheater is using 15 perk cards worth... must be a cheater, remove the cards that will be painful

Bug-Festa at its brightest

Yes can confirm that this is what can happen as it happened to me on my main character. Picked up a mutation that i did not want and thought it weird as i have starched genes always equipped. Many perks including starched genes got unequipped due to this bug one day. Took a lot of work to remove the offending mutation and get everything back the way i wanted.

I stopped checking my perks every time i loaded in and this is what happened as a result. Could have just been as easy for me to lose mutations instead, which would have been easier to fix.
