Can't drink health potion bug.

[Euphytose]

Sometimes, for absolutely no reason, my health potion just won't work. I have to wait anywhere between 15 to 30 seconds for it to work again. Teleporting doesn't fix the issue.

In beta of course.

Edit: The problem seems to go away if you exit to the main menu and restart. It's very rare that this happens but if it happens once, it will keep happening most of the time you use a potion until you exit the current game.

Same with me pal.

This just happened to me for the first time first time near the end of Act 3 in Obsidian Halls. At first I thought it might be some kind of dispel magic spell that some enemy had cast on me as it seemed to start working on its own again after a while. That seemed like a sensible theory up until I ended up inches from death and managed to escape to safety and waited a long time, like 10 minutes and it still didn't work. I left it for another 10 minutes just idling and it finally worked although I was already healed of course by then from regen.

The problem recurs randomly throughout Obsidian Halls and beyond, however it did not strike when I fought the 3rd Telkine that let the Titan loose thankfully - I was able to drink potions for that fight. When I followed the Titan through the portal and went to Olympus, I was again randomly unable to drink health potions once again with no pattern to it whatsoever.

I had to try to fight the Titan without access to health potions! Of course he kicked my ass like tossing a piece of paper because I couldn't heal myself, so I stayed near the stairs which seem to be a trigger point for him and kept taking pot shots with arrows then running away as he wont pursue, but eventually he took my health down anyway. Now here's the interesting part - I escaped away far enough to be safe and had only fumes of life left. I drank a health potion and the game let me, which brought back about half of my health, but when I went to drink a second potion I found health potions were once again not working. Since there was absolutely no interaction with enemies at that point and thus nobody could cast any kind of spells on me that might disable my ability to drink health potions, and since 5 minutes later waiting in safety away from enemies my health potion still doesn't work I have to conclude that this is in fact a game breaking bug and not some spell effect.

I enjoyed the entire game tremendously up until this point but now I feel like I don't know if I even want to play it any more due to this annoying game breaking bug.

Exiting the game completely and relaunching it from Steam seems to have made the problem go away. There's definitely a health potion related bug happening here, hopefully THQNordic will fix it in the future.

Try hitting your [ALT] key. I died twice because I couldn't attack or use a potion before I noticed all my GUIs were greyed out, in desperation I hit the [ALT] key and all my functions returned. I hadn't been looting right before either time I died, so what caused my [ALT] key function to activate, I can't say, but I keep a close eye on it now, especially in dicy battles.
