BUG: Permanent Adjustments to lifestyles

This may not be a bug, but considering the nature of permanent adjustments I logging it here as one.

As part of the game our GM has awarded all players who wrote character backgrounds a without cost permanent lifestyle increases by one level (for me that was from middle to high) however I cannot record that I have a half cost High lifestyle in Hero Lab. I attempted to use the adjustment 'Item Cost' to change the recurring cost of my lifestyle, but the lifestyle itself does not appear on the list of items that can be adjusted (but strangely the identity itself does).

I'm assuming this permanent adjustment item is only meant to adjust once off expenses, so perhaps a new item could be added specifically to adjust lifestyle costs.

You'll need to use the cost adjustment to subtract the difference from the total cost of the identity.

When adding a fake license you have to customise it before you add it to your character. I accidentally clicked add first and spent ages trying to remove the validation error. Customising it after the fact didn't help. I couldn't remove the validation error until I 'assigned' it to a character, and even then it ended up in the matrix section with no reference to the identity it belonged too.

I didn't have any issue in customising it before adding it, but afterward it just wasn't possible.

Yes, for EVERY piece of gear in Shadowrun, when you're purchasing it after character creation has finished (after you switch to advancement mode), you need to be careful to finish all your customization before you pay money for it, because there are some cases where the customizations affect the cost of the item, so the files have to restrict the amount of customization that's possible after purchase.

The easiest way to fix this is to sell the item back at full price, then buy a new one and make sure the details are correct on that.

Celebrian Striker shows three Large Landing Drone Racks when loaded in HL, however the HL description and Deadly Waves shows it as having only 2.

BUG; Karmagen: Race / Metatype costs

Per the Errata for Karmagen, your Metatype is supposed to cost Karma equal to the BP cost. (Presumably, this would extend to non-Metahuman sapients, like Shifters or Pixies.)

HL is not assessing this cost.

Just rechecked the Runner's Companion and looked in this thread about this problem (couldn't find a mention).

According to the Runner's Companion pg. 41 and the following example, new Knowledge/Language skills cost 2. HL is only charging 1 Karma for a new skill.

Thanks

I'm not sure how widespread this is but I was looking at buying the skillsoft clusters and the herolab price for them is coming from the older printings of Unwired, since the anniversary edition came out their cost has gone up a long way.
I'm not sure what else was changed in price between the printings.

Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report.

If I select Buy Off Negative Quality from advancements it applies -10 to the total karma spent.

Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report.

According to War! p154, emphasis mine:
[hr]
A battle rifle is an up-powered version of an assault rifle. It
fires heavier-caliber rounds than an assault rifle and offers better
accuracy at longer ranges. It is heavier than an assault rifle, which
helps compensate for the added recoil of the larger round. A battle
rifle’s role lies between that of an assault rifle and a sniper rifle.
Battle rifles use sporting rifle ranges, and can take any modification
or accessory available to assault rifles.

I know War! isn't directly offered yet, but since two Battle Rifles (Ultimax 150 and Sig Sauer 574) are present in HL via Gun Haven 1, well ...

You've quoted the rule, but you haven't said anything about what errors this is actually causing.
