My game crashes when using Ferocious Roar slotted with Ancestral Cry.

When the duration of Ancestral Cry runs out, my game crashes. Every time.

I was able to recreate the crash with DX12 and Vulkan. I tried it with both the base bear skin and crocolisk. The game crashed both times when the duration of Ancestral Cry hit zero.

A recording of it is linked below.

It looks like you were weapon swapping there while using Ancestral Cry to be able to Forge Hammer? For some reason, whenever I weapon swap, the AC buff is instantly lost

I guess maybe they fixed the crash by disabling AC when weapon swapping?

My game does not crash when AC ends, currently

I'm having a similar issue after adding Ancestral Cry to my Ferocious Roar. It's the moment my bear shifts from being "molten" to non-molten from Ancestral Cry dropping, and boom...crash. Can literally count it down to the second the buff ends when the crash follows. I noticed my bear model doesn't return to standard after the effect drops. Not sure if that adds anything, but figured it would be worth mentioning.

Tried it with/without D12/Vulkan. No dice. No weapon swap, as mentioned above. I've been replicating it for the past ~30 minutes while attempting to resolve.

I found the issue I think.

It's caused by the Ferocious Roar effect from the Forgemaster Effects Bundle.

The transformation triggered by the interaction between Ferocious Roar + Ancestral Cry while the Ferocious Roar effect is active breaks the game when it attempts to revert after the duration ends.

I specifically disabled the Ferocious Roar effect and my game no longer crashes.
