Skills are reset to zero, skill points not returned

[PiercedEye]

Hello,
I just re-joined a co-op game in Oxbow. Needed just a few more XP for the next level in Extraction, so I hit some ore nodes in a mine. When I got the skill point I wanted to put it in the "Master of Destruction" perk. Then I noticed that all perks in the Extraction skill tree were set to zero, but the xp points were not. So I could not spend the sole point on Master of Destruction. i then looked into the "Survival" skill tree where I knew I had definitely unlocked several perks. They also were all reset to zero, with the xp remaining the same as before and zero skill points to spend.
Is this a bug? Is there some way to regain these skill points or to return the perks to their unlocked states?

It's a known bug. Drinking a potion of possibilities will let you pick your skill points again. But they might go missing again next time.
I thought it had something to do with the host saving after you had logged out already (but not sure). It has been reported to the devs in any case; so I'm hoping for a fix soon.

Thank you for your answer.
I will try the potion of possibilities (hopefully the vendor in Oxbow sells it, or either I need to check whether i or my co-player has enough tech points and money to unlock it for the herbalist's hut).
Good to know that the devs know about this bug, hopefully they manage to fix it.

Not 100% sure, but I don't think vendors sell it. You can get lucky and find it in ruins or abandoned camps, barrels, sacks etc. I found a couple already.

For me simpy Rejoining helps. Maybe try that

Get your character killed by bandits/bears. When you respawn your points are back. Just happened to me.

You're right, vendors in Oxbow do not sell it either. By now we unlocked Herbalist II and bought the recipe

One or two times starting the game later the points are miraculously back.
Still I will try to get ahold of a potion of possibilities, just in case it happens again
