This EXE patch contains two components:
(1) Correct reporting of experience
This component corrects an issue where the game gives a greater amount of experience than that reported in the message "The Party Has Gained Experience: %d" (XPBONUS.2DA, CRE files, and AddExperienceParty()). It seems that this behavior was intended by BioWare, but is inconsistent with experience gained from the message "<NAME>: has gained %d experience points." (XPLIST.2DA, AddXPObject(), and AddXP2DA())
(2) Remove 110% scaling of some experience
This component removes the behaviour where 110% of the coded/scripted experience from XPBONUS.2DA, CRE files, and AddExperienceParty(), is given, so that the exact amount of experience coded/scripted is given. The 110% scaling behaviour is inconsistent with experience gained from XPLIST.2DA, AddXPObject(), and AddXP2DA(), where the exact amount of experience coded/scripted is given, and these are left alone. The component is fully compatible with DEF JAM.
These components are installed through WeiDU, facilitating easy uninstallation and restoration of a backup copy in the case that glitches occur.
