Character becomes unable to do anything but walk
|
Happens sometimes, especially during multiplayer, that my character becomes unresponsive for anything but WASD movement and exactly 1 weapon swap to weapon set 2.
Happened on the following occasions: - Other party member died - Party member joined map - I opened a breach (in multiplayer) I also cannot dodge roll and I cannot pick up items. Literally any other character action but wasd movement is disabled in this case until I either relog or die and respawn. When I try to put down a portal in this state, the game tells me that I am in an area where I cannot do that, even though I am just right in the middle of the map (maybe that hint helps). I can open menus and interact with the rest of the UI though. I am always the host. This happens at least once a day and has gotten me killed multiple times now. Really annoying at level 97. Found this thread from half a year ago: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3610072/filter-account-type/staff Could you please look a little harder?

Happened again, this time outside of multiplayer.
I freed an essence monster with a vaal orb. Here is also a screenshot show casing how I cannot use a portal in this state: ![]() Last edited by NilValue#2078 on Oct 20, 2025, 3:33:09 AM

Happened again, this time in multiplayer.
The trigger was that the breach just closed. Maybe it has something to do with pressing the loot pickup button? I noticed that I might be in the process of looting whenever this happens. I have a German keyboard layout and my pickup button is the one right next to the shift key: < |

Happened a bunch more times, each resulting in a death.
How am I supposed to get any levels when I die every 5 maps because my character is bugging out? |

Could I maybe get some staff response to this? I found threads of other people experiencing this bug as well and I also know some other people who have had this bug. This is gamebreaking.

*BUMP*
Also I think it might have something to do with the thawing charm. I noticed that whenever I have this bug, I think that it has just triggered. |

Happens every day, just now 2 times in a row.
Every time when it happens, the thawing charm has just activated. I have tried 3 different thawing charms now with different mods now, and it still happens. Could you at least please give some sort of response? |

I have now altered my atlas in such a way that I get even more explicit mod bonuses for my waystones.
This increases the "extra cold damage" mod for monsters even further. It seems like the amount of cold damage directly influences the likelihood of the bug. Now this bug is even fairly reproducible. Here is what I think might be the cause: - The freeze duration is dependent on the amount of cold damage that caused the freeze - If that freeze duration from a cold damage hit exceeds a certain threshold (probably the default 4 sec or maybe the charm effect duration), the thawing charm bugs out in some way and makes the character unable to recover from part of the freeze debuff. Maybe it tries to activate twice in this case? - This results in the behaviour I am observing: The character becomes unable to dodge roll / use any skills / interact with anything in the environment. It is only able to walk. Sometimes when the bug occurs, the character even gets periodically reset to the location where the freeze was triggered (until I naturally die or log out). Why only a portion of the player base is experiencing this bug: Most players are either life stackers which increases their freeze threshold significantly, or have energy shield with increased ailment threshold. My build is / has neither. I am also running spark, so I get kills and therefore charm charges even while technically frozen. Maybe it also has something to do with this interaction. PLEASE RESPOND AT LEAST THIS IS MAKING THIS GAME VERY HARD TO ENJOY! And if anyone else is reading this and has the same issue, please bump this post in order to create some engagement.
