So made a slight error on ED's INI files when I reduced the chance for tempered gear on normal enemies down to 1%. It's been causing issues with stacking since then it seems. I've corrected the ini's and here they are for future inclusion in 0.5.4. It won't let me add INI files so here is the raw data. First is the No HUD version
