Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a vampire who is already a grand master vampire such as Vlad. They will have 5 vampire weakness points, which means they will have to have 5 vampire weaknesses. Then use a cheat code to lower their vampire rank such as stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 202 to send them back to being only a minor vampire. Although a minor vampire should have only 1 weakness point and so should need to take only 1 weakness, your vampire will still have 5 weakness points and so will need to take 5 weaknesses. And when you play your vampire and have them reach the next vampire rank another weakness point will be added. So, if they become a prime vampire, they will now have 6 weakness points rather than the 2 that they should have as a prime vampire and thus will need to take 6 weaknesses instead of 2.
What happens when the bug occurs? Vlad is a grand master vampire. I used a cheat code (NOT any mods) to make him a fledgling vampire again. A grand master vampire has 5 weakness points so as a grand master Vlad had 5 weakness points. When I made him a fledgling again, his weakness points should have been reset to 0 since a fledgling vampire has no weakness points. But his weakness points instead stayed at 5. Every time a vampire increases their vampire rank, the game gives them one additional weakness point and this happened to Vlad even though he was starting out with 5 weakness points already (instead of the zero he should have begun with as a fledgling). So, when he became a minor vampire he game gave him another weakness point and he then had 6 weakness points and when he became a prime vampire he got another weakness point so that he now had 7 weakness points. By the time he reached grand master, he had 10 weakness points which is double the number of weakness points that a grand master should have (grandmasters have 5 weakness points ordinarily).
What do you expect to see? I expect that when you lower a vampire's vampire rank, their weakness points will also reduce to the number of weakness points appropriate for that rank e.g. if you have a grand master vampire and make them a fledgling, their weakness points would go from 5 to 0.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
I attach a picture of the vampire powers panel of a vampire whose rank has been reset from grand master to fledgling. As you can see, he has kept the 5 weakness points that he had as a grandmaster. As a fledgling vampire he should have 0 weakness points.
