Hardcore/Mortal mode freeze when teammates die

Wicked Bug Reporting
, ,
1

The game has been freezing all the time when my friends and I are playing co-op in Mortal mode on Hard. Whenever someone dies, deletes the character, and creates a new one to rejoin the created lobby, the game freezes for all 4 players, forcing everyone to close the game, because it gets stuck and doesn’t recover—at least not until all players close the game.

Please fix this bug so other people don’t have to go through this. I wanted to report this issue because I care a lot about the game.

(The bug occurred in Mortal mode on Very Hard.)

Had the same issue. Our current workaround was to quit and rejoin before the deceased player joined with a new character.

4 players, hardcore co-op
Whenever a character dies, the game freezes and the only option is to force-close it. Then the state of the realm is like 5 minutes prior to the moment of the crash. (kill adds again, loot again, etc… kinda frustrating)

This seems to be limited to hardcore, as in the casual realm we don’t experience this issue. Being in co-op might also a be a requirement to reproduce the issue, seeing how it affects everyone, not just a single player. Just to clarify, if a single person dies, everyone’s game crashes - it’s not an individual thing affecting everyone, but a “global“ issue. It became a prominent, returning, effectively a reproducable issue on 26th, January.

We played a few days before (not sure, but maybe 24th, January) and in that session, this was not as consistent. We could die → back out → create a new character → load back in without the guaranteed crash. It did happen, but it wasn’t happening every time (or at least I don’t remember it happening every time).

Grab a picture/video showing the bug.
Sorry, I didn’t get one. You see, we don’t exactly plan on dying :smiley:
I will try to get some footage and perhaps edit the post.

2,3,4,5,6 - files, upload:

Were you able to reproduce the bug?
Yes

Has this bug already been reported on the forum? If it has, please post your bug report on the mentioned topic.
I checked similar reports and while similar i felt that it was different, especially with the co-op aspect involved.

Don’t forget to tag the bug with the appropriate tag! If you can’t find the tag you need, create one
I wasn’t able to create or select tags like “hardcore“, “coop“,”crash”, “freeze“ , etc…

on a seprate note: we love the game, good job, hope to see more, much more

Encountered same issue here.
Played with lobbies of 2, 3, 4

Hardcore - hardest playtrough

Only a few death did not resulted in game freeze for other people (1 in 10, yeah we died a lot) may be related with the time to recreate a character (we were a bit frenzy)

The person who die encounter 0 issue (i may have to try 3 times to reconnect to lobby but nothing like remaining ones)

The freeze doesn’t occurs on death moment, but a bit later (not sure if character deletion, character change or character creation)

Application totally frozen (need to kill task)

Date occured : 01/25 (free version) , 01/28

Issue seem to happen at dead player’s new character creation, not deletion.

Playing on HC with friends, every time someone dies ( Spoiler: It happens A LOT) if the dead person leaves the real (presses “E”), the game freezes for the rest of us ( or them in most cases xD) and we cant continue, we have to Alt F4 and when we log in there is a tiny Rollback sometimes that leads you to death :sad_but_relieved_face:
We discovered that when someone dies, the rest should disconnect from the realm before he leaves “ the living”.

Thanks!

I’ve encountered this too. My group hadn’t figured out it coincides with pressing ‘E’ yet – we weren’t able to consistently trigger it with fresh characters. We’ll try again next time someone dies in HC!

In one instance, the tiny rollback updated the last-death icon on the map, but the character was still hardcore for the player sent back to the main menu, so the realm save went through but the character save didn’t.

Is it consistent for you, i. e. does it always happen? Have you also had a character stay hardcore this way?

hey Konrad!
for us its very consistent, everytime that some1 dies if the dead person “release spirit” the rest got stuck. ( sometimes when a loading screen pop like while travelling, or entering a house) and we end up Alt f4ing
please dont die!! stay safe!

Not Sure if its something related to the realm.
Other friend tested on his realm and he died “normally” and painfully….
As soon as I have time I will test it with different characters and locations
