While it was working perfectly before the hotfix (was running for hours), I now get stuck in infinite loading-screens every second or third mapswitch.
It doesnt matter if I just opened it, or if I am mid run. Maybe some maps broke with the update and others did not, no idea. All i know Shattered realm is an unreliable dice-roll all of the sudden. Please investigate.
No modified game or character, so the only cause as far as i can tell, has to be the patch.
Edit: I play on shards 32 - 33 fyi.
Edit 2: Weird after it happening 6 or 7 times frequently I played shattered realm for another hour without a single infinite loading screen. will come back to it tomorow and report. weird stuff…
I actually wanted to post about this bug myself. It get’s so annoying when you are doing some end game grind at Shards above 32 on Ascendant and then get stuck in endless loading screen, losing your rewards and waystone in the process.
I use “Grim Dawn (x64) - Compatibility Mode (SteamOS/Linux)” and am on Linux myself.
I don’t know… I just like playing on Ascendant as a final test of my builds (plus I love random jumpscares of mobs and The Dread).
However, I think we should still focus on the main problem at hand in this thread. This bug happened to me even an hour ago. I’ll try to find a way to save a log on linux so if this bug happenes to me again, I’ll share it here.
To me this bug happens every time I load into a new Shard during the current one. Like I finish 30 and “Delve deeper” after bosses into 31, that’s when the infinite loading screen happens. It also happened on Co-op between Shards 32 and 33. Once it happened during shard 29 on going to the second chunk.
It always happens to me after the first Shard of the run is completed and then the following ones can get stuck.
Yea I don’t know. It is either a single map that doesn’t load for some reason or some obscure technical edge-case. Since my first post i fail to reproduce. Sorry I am not helping I know.^^
As I said it happened multiple times in a short time frame. I played shards 32 - 33. The loading screen first got stuck in a session that ran for hours without issue. It happened when i switched intermediate shardlevel level if i remember correctly. After that i obviously shut down the game with task manger but of course got no crash report. Restarted the game pretty sure I got stuck on the first run on intermediate level again. After that it just worked for some runs then I got stuck again several times.
Since then it never occurred again. Did several sessions without issue.
Question: Is there a way to force a crash so we can get you a crash report? (If that is helpful at all)
Just happened to me (made a forum account for it and everything!)
I was between the 16th and 17th shard, having started on the 14th with a runestone, and it was my third run in the shattered realm since I booted, playing on ascendant with nothing in the offering table level 100 acid werewolf mystic, and it’s stuck on the forgotten gods loading screen.
Today I tried the Shattered Realm, after many years without entering it.
Like others guys here, the game stuck on the loading screen. Music continue to play, I can still ear my pets footsteps, but beside Alt-F4, nothing works.
I didn’t wait more than a minute because usually it only take 1s to 4s max.
I asked GPT to make a quick summary of my observations, and for a better English
I’ve encountered this issue twice today while playing solo (no mods).
The infinite loading screen occurs when talking to the NPC to progress to the next Shattered Realm shard (first time 3 → 4, second time 9 → 10).
Symptoms:
The loading screen never finishes.
The loading icon keeps spinning.
The game does not crash or become “Not Responding”.
I can still hear my pets moving in the background, so the game seems to still be running.
Keyboard shortcuts and mouse clicks no longer have any effect.
I verified the game files through Steam and no corrupted files were found (right after the 1rst time).
I’m playing a pet-heavy Ritualist with around 18 active summons:
10 Skeletons
Blight Fiend
Briarthorn
3 Wind Devils
Reap Spirit
Primal Spirit
Bysmiel’s devotion summon (temporary)
I’m pretty sure at least one temporary summon was still active when I talked to the NPC.
This bug aside, really good game, I’m not a hardcore player, but still enjoy it occasionally.
Is it ok to provide a save to help ? I’m sure it will be easier to reproduce the problem if it’s related to a particular item or skill combination.
1.3.0.6 on gog. Still encountering the same problem. I clear a chunk, click the portal, and there is a chance the loading screen stays there. When that happened I had to alt-tab. I noticed the issue is marked as fixed by dev in 1.3.0.6. I’m reporting it still happens.
