Steam version, I'm not sure what's causing this issue. Two images are provided.

My guess is that it's also related to this bug:
https://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=41412
which has been listed as fixed for nearly 4 years but isn't actually in a version of the engine that was ever released (that bug fix, along with some others, never had a patch release after fixing 😒 )

I don't believe it's the same thing. As it turns out, RPG on Steam is several revisions ahead of standalone and includes a fix for the above issue, but this still happens. Damage calculations when viewing other rooms appear to only update when the player physically enters a new room.

Sorry, I'm not clear on what part of the screenshots I should be focusing on. Would you please point that out and what's wrong with it?

The amount of damage the monsters are predicted to deal does not match up with the player's stats. In screenshot 1, the damage values are acting like the player's DEF is 18 instead of 19, and in the second a DEF value of 216 instead of 221.

I think I have this fixed for the next dev build of 1.2.8.

Seems to be fixed in 1.2.8.alpha.2020-09-28.

Collecting stats correctly updated the predicted damage in other rooms against both stock and custom monsters without having to leave the current room first.
