You’re onto something. Tested on my end and did not experience the portal bug without shop interaction
Skipping the vendor and I had no problem within 5 Monos. Going to the vendor of the observatory didn’t trigger the bug.
Do you mean selling at the Observatory fixes it? I’ve been running into the same bug.
I have also noticed the vendor gets broken on steam deck as well. While playing on my PC which is also running Linux I had no issues and the vendor and portal worked like normal. But on steam deck the portal would not work and the vendor would either never restock or even sometimes start showing only one item
I think he means that checking the Observatory vendor doesn’t trigger the bug, instead of the End of Time vendor or the ended echo vendor.
I also noticed that the vendors didn’t restock (on PC), wether it be during the Campaign, Echo or End of Time, even if i cleared the campaign zone or different echos of the same Timeline
Still pretty sure it’s the echo vendor. If you don’t visit him you should be bug free.

I wonder if it only gets bugged after selling a corrupted item. For a while, I visited the vendor after almost every mono and was fine. Only got the bug recently and maybe it’s because I stopped keeping every corrupted item I found.
It’s been more than a week since this was reported and the issue is still there. Ain’t that grand?

Yep just happened for me again ;(.
The portal bug happens after you interact with the monolith vendor. I have tested it for 2 hours today and as long as you don’t interact with this specific vendor, the echo portals work properly. The work around for selling your loot seems to be at the observatory. Also the inventory in the shops plus what you sell to them, does not appear properly with vendors from time to time.
Just an update: I’m playing my third character, a Necromancer, and went straight into the Monolith after finishing the story without selling anything first. After clearing it, I tried to portal out, but it’s still broken—I can’t warp at all. I didn’t even click on any vendors in the Monolith because it’s my first run with this character, so that’s impossible, yet the bug is still triggered as usual. Wow.

I have been having this issue since reaching monoliths, offline on steam deck. Extensively tested last few days and it appears to be directly linked to using the vendor. If I don’t access any vendors I can run monoliths back to back for ages. As soon as I use the vendor the next portal will fail and they will continue to fail until I log out of the game. Don’t know if this is the same for everyone.

I experienced the bug last night after my second monolith. I didn’t use the vendor or interact with anything. The only thing I did do was open the chest in the first monolith.

I’m playing on a Steam Deck OLED in Offline + Solo Self Found and just finished running 3 Monolith levels and once I get the third checkmark on the bar on the side and fill up the bar I see the “Open Portal” button appear. But when I open the Portal it disappears when I try to press “A” to enter it.
I see that there was a patch on April 2, and I’ve confirmed that my files are up-to-date and verified on my system.
If I use the map to travel out of the completed Monolith, it shows a checkmark for that node, but I don’t get any of the rewards.
Also, the Steam Discussion page mentions “to report bugs use the Report Bugs option on the Character Select screen” but there’s no such button showing up on the Steam Deck that I can see.

Same here, Steamdeck OLED, full-offline or selected offline (while being online).
Same bug since release. Bug fix did not do anything for me.
And since then there is no communication from any of you guys.
The game is not playable like this and as I can’t switch to online (always) I will have to call it a season soon. Damn shame

It seems like a bug that should be fixed fairly quickly and yet it doesn’t seem to be given the priority since the new release. Longtime supporter here since before 1.0. 4,000+ hours logged. Really enjoy this game but I’ve lost all hope for this season. I gave up and uninstalled the game and will wait until next season to give it a chance again. There’s POE, POE2, and Dragonkin as good alternatives for the time being.
