Since the patch update, the Academy quest for the lodestones isn't working and at certain point in game the Academy auctions aren't available anymore. Plus the points that you get get for participating in auctions and engaging in diplomacy with the Academy aren't working. in my game. You get the initial 15 points and none accrue after that. This has been happening across multiple game sessions since the patch.

Hopefully you can take a look at it.  I tried to upload a screenshot but I kept getting file upload errors.
