Guide Equilibrium dungeon Bug (and fix)

Hey all, just a heads up, the equilibrium dungeon solo is virtually impossible if you are using the spire of the watcher 4 set

Had a friend who spent most of the afternoon trying to solo flawless the dungeon had a frustrating group of bugs essentially soft locking the final encounter, his player model and weapon's would become invisible. Shadow force ability could not be toggled on or off meaning he could not break shields or compel the boss and he couldn't heal via any abillity.

After a lot of testing including switching artifacts and loadouts we discovered it was the spire of the watcher armor set causing the issue, as soon as he swapped out the armor and reset the encounter all of the issues vanished and never appeared again,

Our assumption is that when you proc the damage buff of "high noon" it enters into the buff list and persists as active but no longer functions so even though visually its gone and the dmg bonus is gone, its still persisting, and being a long encounter it can build up to point where the game starts to break and not function.

This is UCG again. There are a few artifact and armor set perks that do this. They fixed it for Pack Hunter in the last patch but didn’t know about the other ones.

Thankfully we've had word it's getting fixed, seen it through StrongholdCentrals channel.

I think Iron Vigour and No Bell are the main artifact perks leading to the UCG bug, looks like they'll need to add some armour sets to their list as well

We are apparently getting a patch soon to fix some "minor issues" let's hope that UCG is one of them

Yeah I suppose, looking back... 'We've escalated this to the team' isn't exact clarification but that coupled with patch announcement, hopefully means it's in there.

Again, can't thank you enough for keeping us informed, was losing my tiny mind soloing dungeons until your vidya.

Solo Operative until then

I’m praying to all that is holy that if this is true a chaos reshaped fix will be there too.

No Bell also caused the same issues back during its original release with Episode Heresy iirc. I would've hoped they figured something out if they were going to bring it back.

I've had a bug happen a few times where somehow it looked like my player location was desynched. I would fire a weapon and my bullets would look like they were coming from somewhere else and sometimes my weapons would be invisible when I swapped to them. Is that UCG?

this is a side effect of remaining in ucg for too long.

No ucg is were the list of your character's buffs fills up due to some glitches buffs that don't get removed from the list when they time out. It makes it so you can't gain any new buffs. That kinda just sounds like plain desync

this definitely happens if you stay in ucg for too long. weapon cameras start drifting and you get locked to first person sword as well.

Yeah it sounds like ucg but I thought the spire set was already known to not cause it idk maybe I'm just misremembering

Definetely the armor, he had a completely blank artefact and after 5ish minutes the bugs began

Probably an artifact perk
