Game refuses to progress after beating 3rd Act boss

[Azeras]

I've beaten 3rd act boss, but the game just sent me back to the map. Is it a bug or am I missing something?

[Paulie Don't Surf]

It's a buuuuug and we JUST fixed it.

We're testing a patch right now that will correct this and other issues and we're going to push it live tomorrow afternoon, so around 16 hours from now once we're sure it doesn't break more things.

You can abandon your run, you won't lose XP progress but you will have to run through again. It's an ugly one but we're on top of it, thank you so much for supporting us on DAY 1. :')

THE WORKAROUND:

Make sure to HAVE an active mission at the time when you go to fight that boss and it will skip this bug. It's not ideal but it will resolve it because that engine call won't happen.

Understood. Looking forward to the update!

[Paulie Don't Surf]

Still really sorry it happened and we’re sprinting to get this and some other soft locks fixed! Thanks for being so patient friendo

[gidz]

Just had this issue too but I see the dev is on the case! Thanks for the quick response. Loving the game so far!

[Hobimania]

me too... but i quit and load the game again. went to two nodes/battles. then i can proceed to area 4.

I somehow got it to work by progressing backwards and fighting Thantos's left hand and then back to the boss. If it doesn't work, quit and try again.

This ^

Also Rolo (our programmer) is honing in on this. We think it's actually all related to a mission that is messing with a bunch of other systems. We have a patch coming later today with a bunch of fixes though this might not be included today, but maybe tomorrow if it's locked and ready to go. Thanks for being so patient everyone.

Same problem and none of the workarounds mentioned here was able go around it, the only thing the game registers is escape key. EDIT: I found out that defeating Thanatos hand can sometimes cause a mission to appear, which allows you to exit normally by going back to the boss node. Now I can answer the question "why did you fight it?" that flavors the achievement lmao

+1, and after I came a tile back, defeat the Thanatos hand, the game just give me a win window and end of the run

We're going to review this again folks, we thought we had implemented a fix that would carry over. There's a chance there's something player logs right now that will keep them blocked in this way and we might need to replace save files if we're going to work around it.

I'll have more information on this very soon.

Great! Do you need our logs or save files for better understanding?

I just encountered the bug again, in act 2, beat the boss, map loaded in but couldn't progress, left the game, came back and it's now on a perpetual loading screen.

Same thing is happening to me
Seeing "This is our target" and "You've been here before" after beating the fourth chapter 2nd act boss.

[gregsentai]

i found a way around it actually- just dont defeat or utilize the 3 spots directly in front of the final one- after you beat the boss, you can go to a previously unused spot and it will mark your run complete after you beat that one.

This is still happening randomly to me. Currently in Act 4, and every so often I'll lost a run to soft lock after beating a boss in chapter 2 or 3. Seems to be no 'common' cause, as I've beaten the boss with a quest ongoing, a quest completing on boss death, or all three chapter quests done before fighting.
