This has been seen with various versions of 2.10-beta, most recently with 2.10-beta4. |

Had a very interesting example in The Accountant 1, in a room with a seated civilian and a torch illuminating a chest I want to visit (suspect I'll have to quench the torch, which is a supreme bust) -- he saw me, of course, went into alarm state and then ran away in panic. The stealth status was very interesting: first of all I got a level 1 alert, which then went away, all alerts went back to zero! When I went back out, all the guards were also in alert state, he'd obviously alarmed them all. This is completely reproducible: Walk into room so I can be seen, just stand there Score goes through three states: 1 0 0 0 1 then 0 1 0 0 2 then 0 0 0 0 0 NPC runs away in panic |

Actually, this seems to be completely reproducible in any mission. Just get spotted briefly by a guard (don't stand there for too long). Guard goes into full alert, reported alert score remains all zeros. Not convinced this is the same as 0005286, as I'm seeing this issue with guards as well as with civilians. |

@araneidae There's some faulty code with regards to how full detections (sightings) are added to the stealth score, as per 0005286. The conditions include: 1) the player is visible. This ignores tactile alerts from bumping into an AI in darkness. 2) the AI doesn't ignore the player with respect to stealth score This was a condition added to let stealth score increase only if the AI saw the player long enough to enter combat mode. However, civilians don't enter combat mode so they never stop ignoring the player. Both of these seem to explain example (1) and (2) in this ticket, but I'm not sure what you meant by a "remote sighting" in example (3). Also, did you notice the stealth score desync only for full detections (stealth score +5) or also for smaller alerts (stealth score +1 to +3)? |

I've not noticed this issue with high alerts ... but of course, the point is that the stealth score isn't being incremented at all. My issue seems to be with guards spotting me for long enough to become alerted and go into search mode. On those missions with a "don't get spotted" objective this fails this particular objective. It doesn't take very long in the field of view, maybe about a second. I've had guards walking about with sword drawn with a zero stealth score. |

I believe the issues described in this ticket are fully addressed in 5286 and 6186. |
