I just got to try the update but the same error with my current EXP being ---- is still occurring :'( ... Do you think I should try restarting the game?
I've just updated the game with a new function for the debug menu called "reset background variables". If I'm right, then your EXP should be working normal again if you use that function!
also i just tried resetting and it didn't work :'( It says "This command is used for resetting variables that have been used in a prior version of the game and now need to be updated" and after the exp still shows ------.
That the exp shows "-----" is normal, since your character has reached the highest level, meaning they can't earn more exp than that. Try out if you can use the EXP for something now, if you can't, please tell me!
