(Huntress)I’ve encountered an issue during the tutorial in the starting area of Riverbank.

The game keeps asking me to press G to socket a skill gem, but even after I socket the gem correctly, the tutorial does not update or complete. Because of this, a red barrier remains and I cannot progress further into the area.

I’ve tried the following steps, but the issue persists:

Removed and re-socketed the skill gem several times.

Logged out and back in.

Created a new character.

Restarted the game.

Could you please let me know how to resolve this issue or if there’s any known fix?

Update:
After pressing ctrl + Enter at the character selection menu, I am now able to progress past the first barrier. However, after defeating the first mini boss in Riverbank, I am now stuck at the entrance of the first town and not able to enter.
Also, the tooltip that tells me to press "I" from the initial to tutorial is still on my screen.
Socket the gem then use it removes the barrier, for the second issue
you should have gained a skill point and need to allocate, did that already?
