Bug found by Swegabe: When you open a lewd box, some cosplay previews failed to render and the system replaced them with pictures of the emerald gem. My "lost emerald gems" were actaully cosplay images disguised as emerald gems. Sounds like this will be addressed next patch. It's only a visual glitch, so just keep opening more lewd boxes if you want emerald gems. There's over 200 cosplay photos, so you have to open dozens of boxes before the emerald gems really start stacking up.
Original post:
I am experiencing a bug with the lewd box and emerald gem system.
Has anyone else encountered a bug when opening lewd boxes? When I open a lewd box in the most current patch, and there are emerald gems inside, they don't always go into my inventory. I opened 73 lewd boxes twice. I think I got all the cosplays plus 20 gems added to my inventory and then plus 23 gems the other time. I should have gotten well over gotten well over 50 gems.
When I opened the lewd boxes one at a time, and checked my inventory between, I seemed to get either one emerald gem or no emerald gems even if I was meant to get multiple emerald gems.
I checked the episode 3 release and gems seemed to work as expected then, but haven't checked any build in between. I also haven't played the last several betas, so it might have been an issue that arose prior to 3.15b.
edit: To clarify, as I've found a couple other posts dating back to April about this, I am not capped on emerald gems. I started with 7 gems and 73 boxes. I also used an old Episode 3 save and edited it (with RpgMakerSaveEdit to have 99 lewd boxes (and happened to have 52 gems). Opening the boxes worked fine in 3.0, but was bugged in 3.15b. I'll attach the save I tested with. The save originated from Episode 3 and has only been edited to increase the lewd box count.
