No mods or anything. I noticed it was stuck at 0%, proceeded to read Big Book of First Aid, and I noticed that it did this
I tried debugging a skillpoint into it to see if that would work, no dice. Any help would be appreciated.
Version?
0.E-9229-G6902525-DIRTY
I posted about it on git and apparently the same issue has happened for vehicles, as well.
Iāve never had a big bug like this on experimental before. Does anyone know if my save file will ever be usable again? Is there a way to fix it through save file editing, or something?
Save editing should be doable. However, if you donāt know why it happened the first time you donāt know if it will happen again. Iāll take a look see.
It wasnāt just health care, there were two or three other bugged skills as well. I put a fixed version of the .sav file for āLemmyā. Extract and copy over old version in your save folder. I put it on the github because itās easier that way (itās tiny, so hopefully nobody will object).
Thank you so much! CDDA has the best community for a game Iāve ever experienced, tbh.
Hello,
Iām also experiencing this problem, It is not exclusive to health care skill and itās pretty game breaking because it comes back even after manual fix.
Version: I returned to CDDA 2 days ago and pretty every one of my characters had some of their skills bugged so not sure if the bug was there before but itās there at least since Wednesday.
- if the skill is bugged you can see it in the save file, itās exercise value will be a big negative number
- it can reset your progress back to zero even if you gained some exp%.
- you can āfix itā by editing the exercise value but it can just bug out again
Example from attached picture: character had a bunch of bugged skills including melee, fixed them by manual edit and continued playing, gained exp again. Got into a long fight with mi-go, checked my melee skill and it was reset back to 0%, exercise value in save file returned to itās bugged state.
No idea what triggers the bug, I was just doing the usual early game stuff, nothing fancy.
Looking at that number, itās almost certainly an overflow error.
At some point skill learning (and some other stuff) was ārefactoredā by 1000. Iād guess that some code was messed up during that process. You could probably ādowngradeā to an earlier version of CDDA. Has anyone worked out exactly what build it stops working at? Iām on 11398 and I havenāt noticed any problems yet (but I havenāt been playing much recently).
not sure what that means but is there any way to prevent that from happening?
Iāve made a fresh install and upgraded to 11421 and it keeps bugging out 
Doesnt seem like a lot of people are experiencing this, could it be related to my hardware or something?
I suspect itās more likely because youāre using a more recent version than other people. Personally, Iām not going to update to the latest build before itās fixed.
code bug. only thing you can do is play on older version or just wait till it is fixed. thereās a report about it already on github.
Hello again,
Iāve found a way to reproduce the bug : do any exp gaining activity while you have 1 focus and Albino trait. Iām still not sure if Albino is necessary or just provides the constant focus drain for the bug to occur.
Iāve tested it on 5 different characters and it always bugged out but only when I had the Albino. Iāve made a couple of non Albino characters, drained their focus to 1, did some exping and it didnāt bug out. I still think itās related to focus not the trait per se but itās just a guess.
If anyone feels like testing it on their setup you can do it in 2 min: make Albino character wilderness start, forage a few bushes to get a few survival %, wait on the sun for a hour to kill your focus, start foraging again with focus 1> bug should kick in after a min or so of foraging> survival exp is back to 0 and save file is corrupted (big negative exercise value).

This might be confirmation bias, but all of my characters typically have albino, and I can now confirm I had three instances of this happening with different characters. I ended up just reverting to a build from a week ago, has not happened since.
Yeah, albino modifies focus directly, which caused it to become negative, and caused problems with the skill gain calculations.
I have this bug with a character who does not have the Albino trait. I started with Heroin Addict, which causes Focus to tank from opioid withdrawal.
