Unable to talk to Delve Crawler in Parties

Bug Report ID: #27,685,193

While in a party (Keepers SC Trade), you cannot talk to the crawler if you are not the host of the Delve. My friend is joining my Delve with me and cannot talk to the crawler to go to the surface. The only ways he's able to leave is by dying or exiting the game. Also, if he tries to use the "Teleport to Player" swirly icon, nothing happens. He is effectively stuck in the Delve unless he dies or relogs. This is fairly game breaking and could cause HC character deaths if it's not fixed.

The issue is actively blocking us from doing party-play and enjoying the delve content. There are also related issues that cause a crash if the host opens a portal from hideout w/o interacting with Niko, but by using the waypoint to directly navigate to Mine Encampment. Portal created this way would cause any joining party member to disconnect.

Could You guys please fix those problems for us, so we can enjoy party-play again?

Happens to me too.

Both bugs are indeed happening.

Party members can seemingly only exit delve by dying or relogging. Third option is that the party leader / instance owner has to move to Mine Encampent, and then to his hideout, which then opens the portal for other party members down in the mines.

Definitely game-breaking.

Crash to character selection when clicking the delve portal in hideouts is also an issue.

Any chance for a fix?

Apparently not. Been three weeks already with no response from the devs, and this isn't even listed as a known issue.

It's so annoying, as we are talking about one of the very few mechanics that have really worked nicely in a party. This should definitely be quite high priority to fix.

Having done some party delving anyway, it's possible, but when I'm not the delve owner, I can't feasibly loot anything as getting the stuff stored to my stash would require either me relogging or the delve owner leaving the whole delve instance first to open the escape portal for others. It's just too much hassle to constantly relog and/or teleport around.

Curiously, the portal inside the mines works fine when the party leader selects a new node to go to with it resulting in creating a new instance. There's just no way to get to the encampment for others until the owner calls it quits and completely leaves one way or the other.

Dear Devs,
It's been.. way too long already for us not being able to enjoy the party-play with the delve mechanic. Even the workaround from the Community fails to work at all times, when we are facing two major issues with (1)the Mine Encampent not being accessible from a portal created at the instance owner's hideout, without crashing the entire party over and over in a endless loop, and (2)with the Crawler not being interactive for party members, preventing them from using the "mine encampent" for stash or having a chance to resupply on flares/dynamite.

The Delve is one of the mechanics me and my friends enjoy the most over past years, and now we are unable to interact with it properly, which for some true delve enjoyers takes away the will to play the game entirely.

Can we please get this issue fixed?

So I'm not facing issue 1, but definitely issue 2, and the annoying but possible work around is getting the area, host to leave their delve encampment spawns a portal for the non host back up to the surface. The host then returns, and we've been doing that every few nodes as necessary.

This is still broken.
