Portal to exit monolith does not work. Fades out when trying to enter/exit

Bug Reports
1

I’m playing in offline mode with a legacy character. When I complete a monolith regular or boss echo and use the portal, it fades out and does not let me exit. I cannot exit the regular or boss monolith echo map/event and receive the rewards. I have to exit to the main map and I don’t receive any of the rewards for completing that echo. This is with the new update as of March 26

Are you playing in offline mode by chance? I have the same issue you described. Playing offline mode.

Yep. Offline mode. Repeated the error with at least 2 legacy characters, Mage and Rogue. The portal is summoned but then when you try to enter, it evaporates. You end up losing the rewards you would collect in the chest after the echo. Very frustrating.

Seeing how it’s not a common bug, I’m leaning to it being offline mode issue. Most of people probably play online mode and are playing monoliths fine

There’s redditor who’s offline player and can’t use portal, too

I have the same problem, but i’m playing a seasonal character in offline mode. Not ‘full’ offline, but i logged in and then i chose ‘play offline’.
Edit: After reloading and a bit of experimenting, i think i found a solution: You have to just wait a little. Go a few paces away from the portal, than i was able use it.

I’m also experiencing this, also offline, but this I’ve been playing offline for years and this is the first patch is the first time this has happened to me. I hope you’re right about there being a workaround, because if not, and if this has been a bug for a long time then I guess the next step would be to uninstall and reinstall, and that raises questions about whether or not we lose our offline characters, etc.

Just ran into this problem again, and that didn’t work. I just ran halfway across the map popping a portal every 10-15 steps, none of them worked. But I found where my offline characters and stash were saved, so I’ve backed them up and I guess I’ll check file consistency, and if that doesn’t work I guess the next step after that will be to uninstall/reinstall.

Playing offline, same issue here. No, it hasn’t happened before in previous seasons. Game was was cleanly installed on launch day.

also experiencing this (true offline mode). the portal out of an echo worked twice (once on the very first echo after the hotfix, once when taking me to the haven of silk) but otherwise wasn’t functional. i completed the fall of the outcasts timeline and started another and the issue persisted in that one. exiting the echo via the map screen does work, but you lose any echo rewards so it’s not an ideal solution.

Same happening with me, sometimes it goes fine for 4~5 monoliths but then suddenly portals stop working. Idk if it has to do with the new seasonal mechanic the purple icon boss

I have been noticing it’s when I complete a monolith that has the new mechanic of the purple boss that drops corrupted items and then i try opening a Portal and doesn’t work

an interesting side effect of this is that whenever i die in an echo i just get respawned in the echo. the echo web still shows it as failed, but considering i couldn’t get rewards anyways due to the portal glitch this isn’t too much of an issue. this also happens on boss echoes, but when you do kill the boss after dying you still get credit (or maybe only of you kill the harbinger after without dying, unsure).

edit: turns out you don’t fail the echo on death, i just had a strange situation where the objective completed while i was waiting to respawn (due to damage over time). i was able to get credit for completing an echo i had died in just now.

I am experiencing the exact same issue. I’m playing on a fresh character after a full save wipe, so I can confirm that this bug is not limited to Legacy characters. The portal simply fades out and I’m stuck in the echo without rewards.

Issue just came back to me. I don’t know why, but yesterday portal was working fine after completing echo (green portal). Now I went to next timeline, empowered monolith, to kill another harbringer and poofing green portal problem is back.

Can EHG please let us know if this issue got noted on internal bug list?

16

Might be coincidence, but has anyone tried closing and opening game? I did that and first portal after echo completion worked

Hello, i am experiencing the same issue BUT i have found a workaround that is NOT for the average user. I switched and now playing on my Debian Linux partition and the bug seems to be gone. I played for about 2 hours of pure monoliths and all portals worked beautifully. Just my 2 cents.

It worked a few times as described in my previous post, but i ran in the same issue again. Reload worked for me, but still the echo reward is lost. I’m not sure, but could it somehow be connected to swapping from controller to m&kb and back ?

Very annoying serious bug, please help us fix it
