Bard Song - Loop Fails

I went back at least 5 pages and cant find any threads so I am just going to start a new one.

Bard songs and bard curse songs are seeing a huge amount of failures on getting the next target. I play with a bard and very frequently they have to sing two or three times to activate a song on me, and that is with only two people in the party. When using curse song it is actually rare to see it properly strike every target.

I know there seems to be an engine issue with loops, but with the new bard songs it is really, really bad.

Hey, directly related thread: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=31869

Essentially any spell effect that is finding AoE targets is currently very regularly. Mass <spells>, bardsong, cursesong, IGMS, Firebrand, Darkbolt, Ball Lightning, Neg Energy Burst, PDK Heal, PDK Fear, etc.

This is apparently a Beamdog issue: https://github.com/Beamdog/nwn-issues/issues/52

So I guess if your class revolves around any of those abilities, LOL GOOD LUCK!
