Anyone else getting a progression bug?

A few times now the last few sessions I have run into a bug where I clear the enemies but the zone doesn't clear, leaving me stuck. I don't know if it's because I am clearing the map to quickly with the blaster or not, because I have noticed some graphical glitches with it as well (element, perfect, and damage popups sometimes get stuck on screen). In the last I would say 7 runs it happened twice, so it seems like a serious bug.

Hi Terra! The issue is sometime the AI falls through the world and doesn't hit a kill Z plane, we added a failsafe in the recent patch and did a check on Kill Z's, but obviously that's not enough. It might be tied to where you area, so if you can provide more information that might be useful. Either through making a ticket on our discord or here: https://support-lynked.dreamhaven.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Curious if you're seeing that in grasslands or desert biome as well!

So far mainly on the grasslands biome. Offhand I can recall it being on the map with the crashed logging truck and what I assume was the big open area with lots of traps that appeared to be a dam.

Gotcha, thank you!

It literally just happened again, this time during Tehra's challenge. But the overall biome was a desert mission.

hmmmm yeah that sound bad, we haven't seen it this bad when we locally playtest... but the additional info is helpful. I'll chat with our gameplay engineer tomorrow if any additional info might be helpful.

we think it has to do with an optimization related to streaming enemies, so they might get stuck in geometry if the steaming is not quick enough, WIP!

This happened to us 6 times last night so far 3 times from it happening to any mission when the host player count shows “2/0 players” it will always happen. The other 3 were for the mission that unlocks onion seeds it would not complete 3 times in a row and player count showed fine. That’s the only details I have sorry but it seems to also be related to some sort of desync issues.

thank you for the info, it seems like it got worse than previously, so we're trying to track down a reliable repro, but streamaing / lag issues seems to be at the root
