Here all logs I have
Thanks, I’ve re-escalated this issue!
Silas
Platform/Input: PC — Xbox controller
Where: Boss loot in Pestilence and/or Crucible (seen when looting the boss drop)
Steps to reproduce:
-
Defeat a boss in Pestilence or Crucible.
-
Loot the boss drop.
-
(Sometimes) the character becomes stuck immediately after the loot interaction.
What seems to be triggering it is when you loot the boss immediately or the boss loot contains a lot of items.
Expected:
After looting, control returns normally: player can move, dodge, attack, and use abilities.
Actual:
Player becomes stuck in a “looting” pose and is unable to:
-
Move
-
Use abilities / attacks
Effectively hard-stuck.
Frequency: Intermittent (happens “sometimes” when looting boss)
Workarounds / additional critical issue
Workaround A (co-op): teammate hit frees the player
- If in co-op, having another player melee hit the stuck character can break them out of the stuck-looting state.
Workaround B (exit to main menu) has severe side effects
If you go to Main Menu while stuck in this looting pose:
Observed side effects (character state corruption):
-
Character appearance changes (example: your character becomes a blond beard version)
-
2 utility rune slots become locked again
-
All runes in all utility slots are removed
-
Hunger limit resets from 10 → 5 (shows as 5/10 again)
Then, after loading back into the world:
-
Appearance may restore, but
-
Runes are still lost, and you must re-unlock the 2 utility rune slots again
-
You must upgrade hunger cap 5 → 10 again
Nameless Pass on the ridge near the entrance with the campfire, mined the iron, first pickup character stuck in animation. (After the completion of zone). Tried, so far, respawn from last whisper, creating new realm with same character, deleting realm cache, staring at loading screen endlessly. Won’t allow to upload text documents as files.

I feel your pain. I’ve had it happen in the exact same circumstance a few times. If you’re playing with a friend, they can smack you and save you from having to reset. But I’ve also had this bug happen from just straight up logging in to play. It’s happened probably about 10 times now. The only thing I could figure is the character is corrupted somehow. Started a new character and havent experienced the bug in a couple days. Wish this would get some more attention.
I’ve run into the issue again, but I did not do any big looting with pestilence bosses and did not get stuck looting anything
However what I did notice as odd, was that I am randomly sometimes being able to purchase or withdraw multiple runes from chests or shops.
It’s like it’s double stacked or doesn’t recognize the stack being emptied
If it’s necessary to send another file dump, I will do so
Edit: I did actually manage to recover to a state with the utility runes still being there by going back a few minutes with the backups
I’m pretty certain it was the moment I tried to withdraw runes from my chests and ended up with more than I did have so basically a duplication issue triggering something I suppose?
I have exactly the same problem
Submitting my DataStore and Logfiles to help track this bug down
The Char in question is my Rogue stored here

Please note that the save was made right after quitting the game after getting stuck in the loot animation. So utility rune slots should be locked again and hunger limit should be reset.
On this character i am able to reproduce the bug consistently. Use one of the .bak files if you want to reproduce it yourself. Just do one or two crucible runs and pick up all loot drops. You will encounter it for sure.
Additional Information
I did not encounter this bug on my other two characters yet. Both of which are max level and have seen at least 20 hours of playtime.
The character that is affected by this bug was brought over all the way from Co-Op Beta in December while the others where created after Together Hotfix 7.
Playing with XBOX Controller
Oh man I completely missed this one, thank you so much!
Silas
i have 1 char, been playing alone for 150+ hours and this started happening today
now it happens all the time
100% to happen in crucible or pestilence, but it happened once looting regular mobs
i simply cant play the game anymore
My realm was completely locked, so I had to load a backup from said realm. Beware on PC we don’t have the luxury of a menu option and have to rename the best .bak file to .cerimel or whatever it is. Would be nice to post the process in workarounds for us with adhd that downloaded .net, godot and tried to become a programmer in a day. 
Точно такая же проблема, персонаж застревает, и пропадают вспомогательные руны + ихор. Поправьте пожалуйста.
English:
I have the exact same problem: my character gets stuck, and my auxiliary runes and ichor disappear. Please fix it.
Please use a translator next time 
Silas
I was affraid so I haven’t used any plague ichor to increase my slots. And everything was going well, I did arround 30 pestilence bosses without got this problem.
Then, I felt confident so I used plague ichors to increase my utility rune and I got this bug at the second reward pick^^
Good afternoon. Today I faced a new problem. I entered the game and the character already had no auxiliary runes and part of the ichor was reset. I did not clear the Sacra from the mor and did not collect resources. It happened just like that. It became impossible to play, as I ran out of ichor to pump slots for auxiliary runes. When will this very problem be fixed? Do it as soon as possible, please.
My two character suffers from this. Once it starts for a character it does not go away. It can also lead to Random Recipe/Blueprint Research Button to be unresponsive. This is a strange bug indeed.
If what you mean by upgrading Scribe table is to build an Adept one, then it has been Adept for long time now. Or, are there any other upgrade option that I not aware of?
Come into here: Researched blueprints dont show up on workbenches please for that problem, I don’t want to go off-topic

Hello
For days now, I have been encountering the problem that the runes on my hands and their locations simply disappear and become locked again. This is extremely annoying because I have run out of teleport runes and have to walk all day long. Please be so kind as to fix this bug as soon as possible.
