Desync in Castle Thorn Vet/HM

guarstompemoji · April 2022

During the veteran and hm "darkness, chase the light" phase of the final boss, one or more players can desync.

During desync, the yellow circle will appear in a different place for 1 player, or not appear at all. The circle appears to "reset" during her dives. This can cause the desync to "jump" from one player to another player, causing a different player to experience the desync effects.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Do you need to reset the entire instance, or is there a different solution that anyone's uncovered?

Hi gurastompemoji,

I'm glad you've raised this as I was looking to do the same myself.
Out of interest was the player on an Xbox Series X?

Our tank has experienced the same the last two attempts at the hard mode/veteran, so was unsure if it's related to that console as he was the only one using it.

I've attached two screenshots of what the bug looks like to the player.
The gold circle can do the following:
• Not show at all
• Appear, but stay still when it's supposed to be moving in its circular motion.
• Appear at the wrong location and start moving in a circular motion at the wrong location.

There are times when it would reset, but that would usually only last one rotation.
I hope I've provided enough for this bug to be looked into/resolved as it's pretty gamebreaking.

@ZOS_Kevin can you please pass this on?
People really enjoy the dungeon, but this bug is putting a lot of people off even attempting it until it is fixed.

This issue happened on PCNA!

This bug occurred both before this patch, and post this patch. I have experienced it in multiple runs, with separate teams on PCNA.

I've since confirmed similar experiences with a multi-trifecta player of this dungeon.

After some testing, we found her diving would "pass on" the bug from one player to the next. So, it might go from DPS to the healer, then back to the DPS, like so:

-> Desync bug is on DPS
-> Lady Thorn swoops in
-> Desync bug shifts to Healer
-> Lady Thorn swoops in
-> Desync bug shifts back to DPS

This happened to our group a few weeks ago. Our tank was having the issue

I just want to report that taking turns logging out of the game, shutting it down, then logging back in seems to work. Always leave 2 people in the dungeon at a time while attempting this.

Is it OK to necro a bug thread if it's still happening?

This one is super annoying.
It happens on normal too, so it's not vet/HM specific.

It happens on ps eu too

Greetings,

We have gone ahead and closed this thread down since it is rather old. Please keep in mind that sometimes it is better to create a new topic, instead of replying in one that was posted a while ago.

Thanks for your understanding.
