This usually wouldn't happen since there are usually many drawcalls in between that accidentally resynchronized the VAO tracking.

When we tried to debug the previous so-called "nVidia bug" (so called since I only got it reported from nVidia owners, making me think it was a driver bug), the combat-relation list didn't switch to scrolling mode at all, and avatars didn't have outlines, so my suspicion is that it only happened in fights that were large enough that the list overflowed the bottom of the screen, and where at least two consecutive characters in the list had hats with "lens flare" effects on them (which also render index-lessly), explaining why it was almost impossible to find how to reproduce the problem.

I see. But that's not certain. I think many people guessed it was related to portraits. The question was more likely, "Why did this bug appear?" – it felt like it appeared quite recently after an update, but there didn't seem to be any updates related to it.
The main thing is that it was fixed. I hope no one died from this bug.

Is there any plan to include a cookbook in a similar function? Perhaps have it set up per recipe, to show you each FEP combo you've discovered thus far?

I think this was done specifically to popularize alchemy. And it seems logical that a cookbook would appear next. Although it would be a very, very, very thick book.
I haven't done much alchemy—approximately how many recipes are there in alchemy, and how many times more are there in cooking?

Fingers crossed for reset announcement next week

Planting season is underway. People are plowing in real fields. Then comes summer, vacations, holidays. It's too late to restart, too early to restart.

Any chance of adding / updating recipes to utilize different types of cheese? Bit of a shame that we have so many amazing cheeses but can't incorporate them into cooked dishes for the most part

Will consider, but I figured the ability to sort by effects would be enough.

Thank you for a potions update !!!
But could you please make the potions effects stronger, or % based, as is they do not give an effect that is meaningful :( +40str with elixir doesnt help the 900str miner :(

Great update! A recipe book for food that has a filter for the attributes they can boost ... or even an encyclopedia of all food materials/ingredients categorized by food type and the attribute boosting properties they have/can transfer over to a dish would be cool too. :o

I suppose this likely confirms that we're missing the June 5th 6 month date of next world.
