Yea it's definitely having issues. I am on the 3rd map, area 1 or whatever. When I let it tick through once, I gain 30 xp. But if I let it keep going and come back, I've only gained enough xp to level up once, and then it rolls me over to 1 xp at the next level.
Bsmith I am trying to run the game here to see if i get the same error.... and it looks like it may be working... Look lets do something... do you mind trying a new save on the new version? and see if the error persists?
