> Potion and food buffs removing themselves and giving negative values

* * *

> ## Bug Reproduction:

Step 1. eat a food buff and drink a potion like +60 hp +21 stam  
step 2. eat gruel or any other food to reach 100 water and 100 food to gain the full food hp and stam buff.  
step 3. lose 1 food value, at 99/100 food. OR continue to eat to 100/100 food and water. both the potion and the prior food buff will be removed ONTOP of the sated buff. dropping your health and stamina even lower than before the potion buffs

this can happen within secounds of drinking a buff potion. and can not be fixed unless you die. even relogging does not fix the negative values. and anytime you eat more food or water to 100/100 it removes any buffs you have again once the sated values wear off.

this is 100% game breaking for food and potion buffs. not a single one of them work because they break instantly if you try to stop yourself from dying of thirst or starvation.

the buff icons will remain but you will lose even more hp and stamina than you had before. and drinking more potions will not work with the buff icons still there.

Here you go, the video shows everything you need in 1440p. the values and the buff system are completely busted

this was on offical pvp, in the video you can see i start with 112 stamina, just spawned. missing a bit of food and water. 0 bonus stamina from items.

i eat a +21 stamia fish. i gain the 100/100 bonus hp food buff ontop of my 21 stamina. i now somehow have mathed that out to 128 stamina after eating the fish. my bonus stamina from items is listed as 21 like the buff gives me.

i eat some gruel to top off my water from 88/100 to 100/100. i go down to 117 stamina. my bonus stamina from items is now 6.

i then try a different buff, since my stamina is broken. this time the +60 hp fish while im at 544 hp. expecting to go to 604 hp.

i go to 589. and my stamina drops even lower to 101. i am now 11 stamina lower than my base stamina of 112. the video ends with me having a permanant -15 stamina from items. and having to die to fix it.

please fix this, all buffs are unusable. i did not demonstrate potions but the same thing happens. ive already wasted so many trying to figure out why my values kept going negative.

To be specific, it’s “sated” who’s cancelling all the buffs.  
Has been like this for 2 months since 3.0
