There is another update in the works (no ETA).
The first issue has rarely happened in testing, but the programmers and QA have not been able to reproduce the problem, so have not been able to fix it.
A temporary attribute boost such as from the Man At Arms skill Encourage can also reset the character stats properly on the client system.
Launching game without skills/talents happens to me on a regular basis.
I also read that the health bar issue has been around since before EE. It has been 4 months without even one patch and no official announcement of a patch. Not a single patch has been reported here since EE came out. Pretty abysmal support.
This is on PC btw.
Doing due-diligence research on any game before buying is required, usually. This game is a single-player game developed for the PC originally and as such I have none of the bugs you mention--I don't do co-op. The EE adds newer multiplayer features that were never a part of the original game--at least that interested me, at any rate. Trying to add in console support and multiplayer simultaneously was a very ambitious undertaking on the part of Larian--certainly that's got to have been more challenging than a day-night cycle *cough*...;)
But the four months is not really important at all--what's important is that you now know that another patch is being worked on even as we speak--and that's the critical issue. We all want what we want yesterday, but rarely do we ever get it, etc.
Of course, Larian could pull a M&MX Uplay surprise and just up and announce that they are *done* with the EE just like UbiSoft did after six month of sporadic M&MX patching, eh? So be thankful there's at least another patch coming...! Support is the name of the game--time frames don't mean a thing when support is dropped. How many *years* now has Larian been actively coding and supporting this game...? And the company still hasn't stopped even though they are on to newer pastures, atm, with a new game. So right now I can't see that you have a reason to be upset--it's going to be fixed. Larian's support is laudable and an example to the industry--very much like CDPR's significantly extended support and improvement of its games.
