oracle still needs multiple keywords before responding

I can replicate across multiple PC/OS versions Steam/non-Steam - so it's not that

 

I used to have this problem all the time, but then magically it went away.

Sadly, I have no clue as to what made the issue go away.

Of note, when doing a new install, are you making sure the /datafolder as well as that other directory are completely empty? I backed up those folders, and then deleted them completely.

 

Yep - and I cleared out the registry too (which was annoying because I had to redo all my config stuff)

 

What is your exact steps that you do before talking to the Oracle? Like: Login. Select Resume (I assume to one of your lots). After scene loads, walk to Oracle conservatory, speak with her?

 

Yep - or just play the game for a while and when I see an Oracle confirmatory I’ll go grab my free exp and gold - neither seems to make a difference
