While playing on a laptop (Windows 10) I noticed that multiclicking on quest progression buttons (e.g., the ones at the lower left when you are at a landing zone that trigger quest events) results in multiple quest events being triggered. I was able to trigger various parts of Faen's quests (and payoffs (and faction rep losses)) to occur multiple times. I'm guessing this will occur regardless of hardware, but it was more noticeable on the laptop due to power throttling. I'd conjecture that the buttons are not locked after a click and that multiple click events/actions were able to being added to an event queue before they start triggering.

Sounds like a bug we'd love to fix! Can you be specific about what buttons and when? I took a shot at reproducing this, but its randomly starting a story, clicking on I'm not sure what  What are quest progression buttons? When do I click them? Can you give a 1, 2, 3 set of steps to reproduce? |

The button is: imgur.com/a/JWAzPfBI need to spend some time getting my laptop setup to record and such. The general process was: 1. Use laptop with power saving 2. Confirm that whenever you select a choice there is a noticeable lag between the click and the event (if the transition is fast, then you can't click fast enough. Perhaps an autoclicker?) 3. Click the button very fast multiple times. 4. Experience the quest step running multiple times. |

Replication achieved. My laptop is fully charged and I wasn't able to get it to do so "naturally". So I got an autoclicker and programmed it to click 10 times at 10 ms interval. This was sufficient to trigger multiple event instances. The test case was returning the arbiter to Faen. I was able to reliably spawn 3-6 repitions of the event sequence by clicking(x10) the button on the landing page. Here is the captain's log after this: imgur.com/u2XeItV |

Thanks for the specifics, on the list to fix.

This one might require a whole new engine to fix. I'm not sure we can defeat the auto-clicker, it is too fast!

Figured it out. Very minor mistake with outsized possible consequences but fixed, thanks for the report.
