Well, I run the steam version of SK. I have a steam account, which is paid. And another alt account(no paid) that uses a completely different email as my steam account. I play both on 1 computer. Before all those new updates, my steam account's mist energy is separated with the free alt account. And I can switch between them without exiting SK (just log out 1 account, and log in another).
After the updates, my steam account's mist is gone as well after I used that alt account to craft stuff. Did they make this change in the patch and didn't say it in the patch note? Because as far as I know, paid account mist is separated with the free account.
Fortune! Long time no see!
Anyway, so your saying the mist is shared? Both are on the same steam account or no?
Anyway, if you have a different computer, try it on that. That tends to be a common problem.
