Infinite Archive BUG

When I get disconnected after finishing a stage with my companion, I am unable to return and claim my vision or verse.
What was really heartbreaking was Cycle 2, my verse choice was Prickly Retort. I've never seen it before and it looked very fun.
I selected it and pressed A, but nothing happened, I pressed A again, still nothing, I spammed A, and still nothing. For an entire minute I'm pressing A, then I get disconnected.
In cycle 1 stage 2, I got disconnected similarly while my companion was fighting a flame atronach. I was sent to archive lobby upon return and couldn't claim a verse from the puddle, but the puddle did show.
I was panicking because I was hoping I could still redeem the vision, which failed to claim.
I returned to the boss arena, already crushed from it having sent me to lobby and how that turned out on C1S2.
No puddle. I was heartbroken. This round is already over, because I cannot claim my vision.
Needless to say, the next boss fight was a pain, and wound up killing me. Final thread, I reset the hourglass and quit.


Please fix this, allow us to claim our verses and visions. ESPECIALLY VISIONS. Even if we are disconnected in the process. And if we are disconnected, perhaps summon the puddle in the lobby on our return?
Perhaps make an expansion to the lobby where we choose a verse from many podiums, unlocked by cycle completions and arc completions, and relocked upon successful vision claim or total reset. Although since it kills the instance, total reset doesn't necessarily need to relock them since they'll start locked in the new instance anyways.

Just something to counter the disconnects, and let the disconnected play fairly, so they have the same power as if they weren't disconnected.

Losing a single vision selection hurts the entire playthrough. Thus with the current system, disconnects ruin the entire playthrough.
There is no way to even be competitive like this. Even if I wanted to, I can't all because of disconnects.

PLEASE help us.

    Would love for you to provide your feedback regarding the performance issues. I agree - doing anything in this game is difficult right now. Trifectas are a no go anymore, IA is a no go as well due to the performance issues.

    I've posted in there many times. This is a different issue. Although it is effected by similar issues, the main point isn't the connection loss, but the loss of visions and verses due to disconnect.
    Also, my suggestion of podiums would also help people who run IA solo or with companion and then recruit a fellow player later on, that way their fellow wouldn't be so underpowered for their zone.
    It would ensure people who are at a specific spot would have a certain number of visions, regardless of connection issues or join a mission already in session.
    It's not the connection issues that are the problem. I've had connection issues for 9+ years. It's mainly the losing visions because of those disconnects. That's the issue. I should still be able to claim my visions regardless of connectivity. I shouldn't lose my vision because I get disconnected for a moment.
