[POE 2] Bugs

System: PS5
Bug: game crashed during completed Trial of Ascension
Result: Hardcore character kicked back to Softcore

I completed the first trial of ascension. When I selected Chronomancer, the game immediately crashed. When I restarted it and logged back in on the same character, I was at the start of the trial area again.

I returned to town and noticed my stash was Softcore. I thought I mistakenly logged into my previus Sorc character, so I logged back out only to be greeted with the surprise that my current Sorc apparently died.

I sent the bug report + video on PS5.

Wild shards support gem does not trigger with eye of winter skill.

There's a bug, when you fight Napuatu in Utzaal, where you can get caught between the shield bearers and can't get out. This happens when they reduce the area. Even restarting the game doesn't help.

zero Stun threshold - bugged mechanics

No stun threshold shown in the character sheet, even if I have gear with +stun threshold, passives with increased % stun threshold, passive % of base equipped armour added to stun threshold.

I ran a few tests with the monk's channeling skill "Meditate":

1. ANY enemy interrupts the Energy shield recharge with a single hit, no matter what are the supporting gems and what is the gear worn.

"Energy barrier" support gem is supposed to renew the sheild recharge immediately after if it's been interrupted, but it does not happen - the character has to wait for the main skill cool down right after he gets hit.

Another supporting skill "Wind wave" does not work either - no wind wave is made after the E.S. recharge interruption.

2. The bug occurs even with the Stone Charm (can not be stunned while it has charges). I tested the Charm while channeling Meditation: the very first hit from any monster interrupts the Meditation and does not trigger the charge consumption of the Charm.

The stun threshold mechanics does not work at all, any hit lead to the stun and it bypasses any defence. It is a serious bug that soft-locks the progress of some melee classes.

PC
After specing into Lord of Horrors talent as the Witch, while spirit reservation on minion was reduced, it did not affect the used spirit until one of the assigned minions were removed and then reapplied. As I had to turn off all the minions and then turn back on the minions to get the extra spirit.

Additionally, flask with quality cannot be salvaged for quality material and flasks in general cannot be compared to what you are wearing (at least on pc controller), and will instead just open up the advance details screen.

PC: after open a map with a waystone (mire), the client disconect me when i entry in the map.

Bug- atlas map can't be completed

Context:
-Oasis map
-Waystone given by Doriani

Replication steps:
1- make sure no rare enemy spawned in map
2- kill all enemies
3- map is still in progress

Expected:
- if no rare spawns map should complete when no more mosters remain
- Or guarantee that at least 1 rare would spawn in each map

Play on PS5, experience random ping spikes (other games don't have network issue). You can see the green network bar fluctuating like crazy from 60ms to 300+ and sometimes in thousands.This causes stop and go but the speed when moving is like 10x.

The fps also has random sporadic instability, which gets fixed by traveling to town and back.1440p, dynamic scaling (NIS).

I was having this same issue. All other games and apps worked fine and my ISP speed test were good. Power cycling my modem and router fixed it though. Not sure why.

PC
Experienced 12/14 - 3 consecutive times

When facing Rathbreaker upon being hit by the first Arrow Rain Volley, the game will crash/shutdown, no loading or white screen, instant game shutdown. Happened 3/3 fights, until I killed encounter. Upon opening the game again, I could resume the fight with no issues. First and only time experiencing any type of bug.

Experiencing this EXACT same issue on PS5. Crazy stuttering and lag jumps for the green network bar. Checked my Internet connection multiple times and it's not my Internet.

I also tried server jumping, restarting, changing graphics settings, but nothing seems to fix the stuttering. At times, game stutters so bad it's unplayable.

Any help or big fixes would be greatly appreciated here!!

I had the same issue. And the same results. I power cycled my modem and router anyway and the issue resolved. Good luck!
