After patch 0.9.2 dropped, I noticed that Shurikens are not working, disappearing almost immediately after being cast. They not only go invisible, but disappear completely, as enemies are not affected in any way. If it happens to touch an enemy in that brief moment before disappearing, it hits, but still disappears.
What exactly triggers it is unclear. The first cast after loading into a zone always works, but after a few or sometimes even one action of any kind it gets bugged.
What has not helped:
Relogging or restarting the game.
Restarting the PC.
Validating game files through Steam.
Reinstalling the game.
Resetting all Passives and Skill Specializations
Uploading logs and video. I started recording right after loading into a zone. The first cast of Shurikens works normally, on the subsequent ones you can see them disappear. Player.log (77.0 KB) https://imgur.com/a/vdW1YcB
UPDATE: It’s Blade Shield. Shurikens work fine until Blade Shield is picked. Then it behaves as seen in the video. It’s fixed by removing Blade Shield and relogging.
Tested on a dummy to see if maybe it was only the visual not working but it appears that after the one manifestation it does not actually work at all.
Also of note, if you port to another area, it restarts it so you the first one you do in that area actually has the shuriken shield. After that, they’re gone again.
Okay, I messed around with it some more and I have no idea if this will be helpful but if you MANUALLY cast Shurikens with Blade Shield node shurikens actually do fire (as you can see at about the :31 second mark in the video. They just don’t surround you and the don’t last.
My speculation is that this is something to do with the adjustments having been made to change Detonating Arrows and Jelkhor’s in 0.9.2.
I’m getting the same bug, especially when standing close to large bosses. Throwing the shurikens (whether as Chakrams or not) they disappear immediately and do no damage. If I stand near the edge of the boss arena and aim inwards, the shurikens often work normally
