(Bug) PvE Mode Misaki Skill Softlock

[ShadwSonic]

I just got to a point where if I used my Sword Skill on the boss, it would kill her. Or at least, that's what was supposed to happen, but instead it softlocked the game. I could menu out of the match, but I was still robbed of the victory and all the spoils that come with it.

That's a glitch since day 1 of PvE Beta. It also happens with other non-attack damage source as well (such as Rail Gun, Brick and etc...)

However, next time it ever happened again, don't menu out of the match. Instead, try Alt + F4 to close Astral Party then restart AP. It won't bring you back to lobby you were in, but it will be counted as win, since Gawu is taken down on the server side.

You'll earn ALL spoils that you'd win if you Alt + F4, except there's no result screen.

Pretty sure I saw another match win via Card Damage as you described later without problem... but I'll keep that Alt+F4 thing in mind.

Coming in here to clarify, exiting via menu still counts as a win!
I've had this happen twice with bricks. Both times I hit esc and surrendered. Both counted as wins.
It's probably quicker to just alt-f4 however, because if the lobby host leaves first it may crash your game when you leave (win still counts regardless tho)

[ShadwSonic]

Ah. I did so via Exit Game, not Surrender, which might explain the discrepancy.

I've made a guide detailing why this happens, and how to avoid it:
