Monolith of Fate Quest Echo mission stuck in loading screen

When trying to launch a Quest Timeline Echo, perhaps specifically the Fall of the Outcasts Quest Echo first mission “The Ransacked Camp”, game will perpetually sit at the loading screen, and will not go away. Whenever launching a Quest Echo, unless you exit the game, you will sit at this loading screen forever. Clicking during this loading will result in the character moving, as you can hear the footsteps they make. The pause menu can be accessed during this loading, for some reason. For me specifically, this has resulted in a soft-lock, as I cannot progress main campaign.

Okay, an update.
For some reason, this bug is apparently inconsistent, or possibly because of the servers’ volatile state, since I was just now able to jump into “The Ransacked Camp” without the loading issue. It’s worth noting that I fully logged out of the game at one point, so resetting the game could be a temporary fix. Aside from that, I’m clueless as to what caused this or how.

Just wanted to chime in here and say I’m also stuck in progression due to this bug. You can tell that the game is “working” behind the load screen, since you can see the cursor change to the “…” one when you hover over where one of the NPCs you can speak with would be if the loading screen was not in the way. But the loading screen never ends and you have to quit out.

I’m having the same loading screen hanging issue when trying to load “The Ransacked Camp” echo quest. I restarted the game once and thought that might fix it, but no. After rebooting I have been waiting at least 5 min now. Very frustration because I can’t progress.

I’m having the same thing trying to load “Heorot’s Sanctum - Reign of Dragons”. It just stays on the loading screen, but I can still walk around and hear my character in the monolith of fate. Like it’s just throwing the screen up and not trying to actually load.

I just had an idea and wanted to test it, and I found out if I load it from the loot room of another map, it’ll load. It only fails when I try to load it from the main Monolith area. Weird.

Thanks @Roomy that worked for me too. It’s good to have a work around at least. Seems I can’t load into to any of the quest echo’s from the End Of Time location. I have to work through an echo and when I go to collect my loot I can then load the quest echo from there. :+1:

Damn, I was really hoping this was a brand new issue. Very demoralizing that this thread is almost a month old and I am still running into this issue.

Try this; it worked for me!

Hey man thanks! I actually found that as a fix somewhere else on the forum. It took about 3 minutes and the issue hasn’t come back since!
