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

Smilehp · March 28, 2026, 11:56am

It’s on and off… Sometimes it works for 4 portals, and then boom it starts not working again

Same Problem as the other. I play on Linux Mint and on offline with a seasonal caracter

I’m having the exact same issue and it’s incredibly frustrating.
I am playing offline, just like everyone else here.
Does anyone know if this same phenomenon is happening to those playing online as well?

trashcan_ann · March 28, 2026, 5:19pm

it is not. my partner plays online and she’s never had this issue.

fla_panther · March 28, 2026, 5:44pm

I doubt it. I’ve never played with a controller. Checking file integrity didn’t help, and there was no related fix in yesterday’s update, so I guess my next step will be to uninstall and reinstall, and hope that fixes it.

Same here…

Same bug. I’m on steam deck, offline saisonal character.
But work on mu laptop.

I am also experiencing this bug. At first it was on my steam deck running proton experimental but now it is happening on my windows 10 pc. Both instances were with a new bladestorm bladedancer created for this season but on legacy offline mode.

The second time it happened when I was on PC I tried the following:
Ported to End of Time, then back to another echo in the same timeline > Portal bug recurred
Went to echo in another timeline > Portal bug recurred
Went to random locations in the overworld > Portal returned me to End of Time or town correctly
Went to original monolith and did an echo > Portal bug recurred
Went to character creator screen and back into game, then back to another echo in the original timeline > Portal worked again

So theres clearly some switch that gets flipped to cause the bug that gets reset upon logout. I’m still trying to reproduce it again and will try to update this post if I gather any more data.

Same thing for me, in offline mode. Sometimes the first echo works after rebooting the game but then next it broken again. Makes the game unplayable unfortunately. Hope this gets prioritized after weekend <3

Oh, this is interesting. I’m also experiencing this with an offline Rogue character (primarily Marksman, but I do have 8 points in Bladedancer). This raises two questions:

Is there anyone experiencing this while playing online?
Are we all experiencing this on Rogue characters?

FWIW, I uninstalled and reinstalled, and I’m still experiencing this problem. It did seem to go away for a longer amount of time before returning than when I logged off and logged back on, but I just had it happen again, so yeah, uninstall/reinstall doesn’t help.

I have a non-rogue character I could play for a while for testing, but it’s only lvl 46 and a homebrew build, so it might take me a bit to get to empowered monos, and honestly, I’m enjoying my rogue build a lot more so I don’t really want to switch.

This bug is still occurring and it happens to any class character. I’ve reproduced it with Rogue, Mage, Sentinel, and Primalist. There seems to be no problem with the portals when playing in the campaign levels. This occurs only on the monolith maps. This makes the monoliths completely unplayable as there is no reward to be received for completing them.

I tried switching from True Offline to Standard Offline, but the issue remained.

Symbiosis · March 29, 2026, 8:54am

Just started happening to me today. Full offline

Enoftri · March 29, 2026, 8:56am

Same problem here
Offline mode also
Totally unplayable

fla_panther · March 29, 2026, 12:46pm

Alright. It would’ve been interesting if it was just one class type.

I suspect fixing offline play is going to be very low on their priority list, but a commenter on Reddit said this is a regression issue (something that had been fixed but broke again on the new update). If so, and if it’s an easy fix maybe it would be relatively easy for RHG to re-apply the fix, since they already know what the cause and fix are.

Geryas · March 29, 2026, 1:17pm

Happening to me on a primalist; so not rogue specific, offline seasonal character.

Mahuta · March 29, 2026, 4:40pm

Happened to me several times, offline season Sentinel.
Echo portal not working, so i have to tp via the map portals, causing the loss of the echo rewards.
After closing and relaunching the game, the echo TP work for a while, until the bug reappears…

alitheros · March 29, 2026, 10:50pm

Same issue. I only play offline so this effectively kills the game for me until fixed. Only started experiencing today, but as soon as the glitch started it’s every monolith on all my characters.

tretyakov · March 30, 2026, 5:27am

The only workaround that I found:

When it happens restart the game
Play only monoliths
When it happens again, restart

Normally if you play only monoliths, it doesn’t appear for some time

Emanresu · March 30, 2026, 2:43pm

Same and agreed. Missing out on the mono rewards are less of a problem (another rework for another day), but not being able to go back to the hub with the stash puts a big damper in running mono after mono.
