Wearing a blessed amulet of order doesn't seem to affect alignment

Playing on the Steam beta right now. Haven't tested for this behavior specifically, but I've been wearing this thing for thousands of turns despite the pain and still haven't seen even one alignment change from C from the amulet so far. Can anyone confirm? Killing chaotic monsters and doing lawful quests still seems to work fine; in other words, the damage seems to be limited to amulets of order (and possibly some other particular items that change alignment over time, which I don't have).

Additionally, the amulet isn't doing any damage to a chaotic PC during wilderness travel, which I'm not sure is intended. I seem to remember this working differently at some point earlier, though I might be confusing it with ME impure metal burn.

What level are you? At some point the amulets stop working.

Wore it on and off from 16 to 19 (where I'm at). Star sign is Dragon. Surely the amulets worked at level 16 before?

They are still working for me at all alignments; I've verified with scrolls of balance. It isn't very fast alignment change of course, even at level 1.

Hmm, upon further testing it does work, though now I have to wonder if there was something else that interfered with alignment gain so heavily as to offset both the amulet's effect and the natural increase from killing high-exp chaotics. I pickpocketed a lot, but I thought the alignment hit isn't significant when done by a chaotic PC? Other than that I don't remember committing any chaotic acts upon receiving the amulet.

In any case, thanks for your time; I guess the issue is technically invalid.
