Memory Tears No Longer Spawning

I am writing this as a bug report and for it to show up on searches for anyone else experiencing this.

This forum is littered with this issue, reddit forums are as well, with no acknowledgment from GGG.


Issue: Memory Tears No Longer Spawning.
We understand there is RNG.

Previously Memory Tears would show up between 3-20ish maps. Maybe a few more maps here and there, but ultimately would show up.

Causation: I believe the issue stemmed from switching characters either mid tear, or on boss fight after one character dying.

Situation:
Char 1: ~85 maps, no memory tear. Various Atlas builds. Various maps, including natural tier 16 and 16.5s.
Char 2: ~45 maps, no memory tear. Various Atlas builds. Various maps, including natural tier 16 and 16.5s.

Char 1: ~25 Kirac missions, no memory tears.
Char 2: ~5 Kirac Missions, no memory tears.

Total 160 maps no tears.

Solution: requested to get an invite to a new Memory Tear by someone else. Joined their Tear with Char 1. Completed Tear.

Ran 3 maps on Char 1 solo, received my own tear. Completed.
Ran 14 maps on Char 1 solo, received my own tear. Completed.
Ran 8 maps on Char 1 solo, received my own tear. Completed.
Went back to the normal "RNG" prior to bug.
Edited to add more:
14 maps on Char 1 solo, received tear.
6 Maps on Char 1 solo, received tear.
3 maps on char 1 solo, received tear.
Definitely back to normal "RNG"

Fixed the bug by running a full memory tear on the Char that was messed up.

This is an issue that needs to be fixed. Will remain unacknowledged by GGG and deemed "RNG". This post is for others to find, so they know how to fix.

Wanted to bold this, If you are not getting relatively normal Memory Tears in your maps, and you could have switched characters to complete a Tear, join someone else's Tear Line and complete it, your own Tear line will now be reset

I too didn't encounter memory tears for at least 100 maps

I had the same problem since the last patch. not a single memory tear wihtin dozens and dozens of maps.

Now I deleted all Nodes from my atlas except the small passives way to the 4 extra chance nodes for memory tears. I ran a T16 map with only some mods on it (~4), no maven/ exarch etc influence, and only some dusk fragments... and got a memory tears on first try.

Whether they acknowledge or not is a different issue, but there IS a bug here. It is difficult for us (users) to prove this bug because RNG is involved.

I've only noticed they are not spawning like mid-league by the time I had done several hundreds of maps (at least 20 Incandescent invitations) without seeing any tears.

I think I have "created" the bug in a different way. while at lower levels of atlas T1-5 I bought a T14+ red map to get a pantheon I needed. There was a memory tear on that map and I clicked and later completed it.

The natural quest memory tears spawned normally during atlas progress and zana "vaaled" my atlas normally. That was the last point I saw any memory tears.

Now I never see memory tears regardless of the number of maps I run unless:
I remove voidstones from atlas, run some random T16s until I find a tear (usually 2-4 maps) complete it. After this, I can put the stones back on and another memory tear will spawn, and it will be back to the bugged state above and regardless of number of maps nothing will spawn until I remove stones again.

Ask in Global to run with someone elses Tear, itll reset you

just tried it, found a guy and accompanied him (with my heist runner, as this was the first char and the char I started the quest line) as he did the 4 maps in thread including the boss. Then ran through 2 invitations worth of jungle valleys (~80) killing only the boss (takes roughly 30/40 seconds with the heist runner) did not see any memory tears.
