uncle_charley: None of my skills are working. E.g., I have level 2 of the Taster skill, but I can still only imbibe 3 potions at a time. Moreover, none of the potions I create under Alchemy while meditating show up in my inventory. This means that I now have to buy all of my potions now. This behavior started immediately after I installed the 1.35 patch.

Has any one else experienced these problems? And, more importantly, has any one solved any of these problems? I will greatly appreciate any advice on this issue.

uncle_charley: Well, I don't have any mods. The problems seem to have resolved themselves after I reinstalled the most recent patch. However, the patch (1.35) left me with just a little lagniappe this time: necrophage oil does not show up in my inventory after I make it with Alchemy. So I can create any other potion or oil - just not necrophage oil. All of the ingredients I use to create the necrophage oil will be missing from my inventory, but the necrophage oil will not be anywhere in my inventory.

If any one has any ideas, they would be warmly appreciated. I find this to be more of an inconvenience than anything else. I can certainly live with it if need be. But I am curious as to what's going on here. And just to repeat: I do not have any mods installed.

Aaden: That's a known bug. CDPR accidentally made Necrophage Oil and another potion use the exact same ingredients in 1.35. Therefore, whenever you use the Necrophage Oil recipe, you'll get that other potion instead.

Kindo created a hot-fix for this. You can find a link to it (and futher information on the bug) in this thread in the official forums.
