    Title: Keep Charlotte safe pop up text comes way after you could have killed her on accident
    Reproduction Rate:Once
    Blocker?No
    Details: "Charlotte is now following you, keep her safe!" didn't pop up until I was almost all the way down the stairs. Considering the upstairs is in flames, and she will walk through the bed to light herself on fire, it is very late.
    Steps to Reproduce:Walk down the stairs.

    I guess the specs info doesn't say it was single player, maybe that had something to do with it. I'll try again.

    If you rush through the scene quickly the popups will "stack", thus causing this effect. No way to fix since it would mean overwriting something else.

    I realize that, but I had just spent a bunch of time working on the bug where Charolette walks through the bed, I wasn't being fast at this time.

    I'll see if I can make it fire that late again once I update. (edit: no update, I'll try now)

    Side note: your help message stacking/visibility is a systemic problem, it messes up the exit from the Oracle walk up to the Moon Gate on Isle of Storms as well, and the overlay text is really hard to read at times. It should be scrapped for some better system or rewritten.

    Just checked.

    It fires at the top of the stairs, not when you complete the conversation. The fire upstairs is the only place she can die as far as I can find, I've run her through the stuff downstairs, and the most obvious places outside.

    So that help text is firing once you're going down the stairs and she's no longer in danger.
