Stamina Dump Solution

[FredMur]

 My character was in the tavern in Hydlaa where he rested to 100%.  He stood up, and only turned to the left 90 degrees when his stamina dumpped down to 20%. 

 I noticed this dump occurs frequently after resting, npc interaction, trades and mabey others.


 Also, I noticed that by using stealth for the first few steps/turn after the indicated events, that the stamina drops a couple tenths quickly, but thats it.


If anyone has any other suggestions, or a concrete reason why this is happening, I'd like to hear it.

I'm glad the problem has been identified through official channels.

Now that the why is clearing up, it would be nice to put a band aid on this until its patched.

I've gone for about an hour now using this technique and haven't dumped stamina once.

Is the stealth technique working for others? [Win XP sp2,  Ver 0.4.01 Fully updated]

This is probably a good place to remind others that food can speed up regeneration rates (Thanks to a fellow traveler).

TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO PROBLEM FOLLOWS:

I let my character refill his stamina     Time Average: 3 min 40 sec
Stamina dump from walking took      Time Average: 1.8 sec
Stamina dump from running took      Time Average: 1.52 sec
Stamina dump from sneaking took    Time Average: 4.2 sec
    The sneak dump sometimes only dropped to ~50% but still took 4.2 sec

Observation:  The dump seems to correlate to the action speed following it.
Experiment:     I tried waiting 3 min 40 sec, then sit, and stand back up immediately.     
                        THIS WORKS, NO STAMINA DUMP (tested 3x)
                       
Conclusion:  After standing for long periods, sit then stand and go.  -Fred

I tried your solution Fred and it worked for a few hours, but eventually the problem reappeared and the trick doesn't work anymore. At least in my case.

What i  accidentally did find out is this: no matter how long you stay in the same position the stamina does not drop if you turn before you walk away....
I know this sounds stupid and i don't know why this happens but it does. It even works if the stamina is already dropping. Just a little turn to the left or right is enough, as long as you don't move from the spot

How long this will work i don't know, so it's fingers crossed

Also, i've observed stamina dropping with varying speeds, e.g. while walking/running in the sewers i saw stamina accelerating its normal drop then returning to the normal.. can't say if it was due to this same bug(which i have, and have resolved with the /sit trick), or the lagginess of yesterday.
