Are you guys using any MTX portals by any chance?
Nope, no cosmetics are currently applied.

In my case, following JIRA bug ticket style:
[Environment]
. Windows 11 version 25H2
. Last Epoch version 1.4.2.2
[Precondition]
. Set T as portal shortcut
[Step]
. Step 1: Go to into a monolith echo
. Step 2: Complete objective
. Step 3: Left Click on the Open Portal button / press T on keyboard
. Step 4: Left Click on appeared Portal
. Step 5: Try Step 3 again
. Step 6: Try Step 4 again
[Expectation]
. Step 3: Portal appears
. Step 4: Character exit the echo
[Actual]
. Step 3: Porta appears
. Step 4: Portal disappears
. Step 5: Porta appears
. Step 6: Portal disappears
For those who are constantly getting into this state, do you remember doing anything before getting into this bugged state. For example, interacting with your stash, or a vendor or any UI panels?
We are attempting to reproduce by just running echoes without doing anything else but unfortunately we are unable to reproduce. Does the bug occur for you all by not interacting with anything else but just running an echoes?
I currently have the assumption, that it is related to interacting with the Seasonal Mechanics (e.g Rifts, Nemesis, Fractures). As for interacting with stash, vendor or UI panels, the only one of those would be the inventory, but I would have to check if this could be ruled out.

Although my number of tests is limited and this may not be fully reliable information, I hope it can help identify the issue.
Normally, the portal problem would occur after clearing 2–3 Echoes. However, when I continued playing without doing anything other than clearing Echoes, the issue did not occur even after clearing 6 Echoes. During this time, I did not open my stash at all.
After that, I opened a vendor but did not buy or sell anything, then cleared the next Echo. At that point, the portal issue occurred.
At the same time, the vendor was experiencing the issue reported here (items and buyback tabs behaving incorrectly):
When I just run echoes and nothing else (dungeons, arena, etc.) I haven’t had the issue occur once.

That is good info for us to bring to a developer. It means it is triggered by something else everyone is doing that is locking up the portal.
Anything you can tell us that could narrow it down what could cause it to break would be helpful. We have tried numerous different interactions but haven’t triggered portals to break for us yet internally.
What vendor was this?
I don’t can call reproduction.
But I experience it after a full inventory when going to the vendor after the mono for selling stuff and/or doing forge. Usually shattering or remove affixes.
When entering the next Mono the portal is bugging.
The vendor in the monolith timeline
For me it started when doing a rift beast mono chain in a non-corruption timeline on my new non-season created character. I tried doing some other monos including monos and quest monos but all had bugged portals. Only restarting the game solved it. Even when I press M and teleport to the mono hub it doesnt fix it
The bug happened to me on my first monolith after finishing Heorot questline, so that was before I got to the vendor in the monolith timeline.
Exactly what I have experienced!
So i was trying to repeat this bug, but sadly i cant catch the reason
I got it 3 times during today (before evening)
Then i tried to pay attention on my actions
About 2,5 hours all was fine - i did many echoes in one monolith without problem (simple echoes: not weaver, not boss, not cemetries, not chains)
And then i got bug, but unfortunately lost my attention and dont really understand why it happened
All i remember: it was cache near my start place (i did open it), then i directly went to echo objective, did it, then nearby was nemesis, i killed it, then made portal and got bug
I explored about 40% of map, did not see mage, rift and omen
I was trying to do something similar to catch bug again, but couldnt
So still dont know the reason, probably i did something else but didnt notice it…
This happened to me by entering my first cemetary and defeating the boss, I enchanted my idol twice and then went to portal out and the portal disappeared.
Just ran around 20-25 Echoes, including normals, basics, Tombs, Woven echoes. The portal bug happened just now, in The Forgotten Keep, the echo where you need to slay The Baroness.
Prior to the update, the bug, literally, has been happening on the first echo compeltion. Could not play the game at all.
Also, I have not been able to find any characteristics of the bug, it just happened.
Hope it gets fixed soon, for I really wanna play the game, but was unable to since season realease 
The portal in the monoliths worked before this new season release. Something with the new mechanics must be causing the portal the fail. MTX portals worked fine in the prior season. As someone else stated earlier, the new mechanics with the rifts/fractures/nemesis is highly suspect as interrupting what worked fine in prior seasons.
I play both on my windows PC and steam deck. It never happens when playing on the PC, but it happens every time on the steam deck within 5ish echoes. Same character, both with controller, and same play style
Whatever the issue for me it doesn’t seem to be related to play style, interactions, character or time but something specific to the install on my deck.
After reading this section of comments, I stopped going to the vendor inside the monolith. For next 4 echoes, it worked, no problem. Then, I forgot and accidentally visited the vendor and on the next echoe I had the no-exit-portal problem.
So, maybe vendor is the problem here.
