Vaal Temple – Unable to portal out / return to entrance stash after 0.4 (instance closes)

Since patch 0.4, it is no longer possible to portal out of the new Vaal Temple to return to the entrance area where the temple console and stash are located.

Before 0.4, players could:

Enter the Vaal Temple from the console area (which has a stash)

Create a portal inside the temple

Use the portal to return to the entrance area

Stash loot and re-enter the temple multiple times during the same run

After 0.4, this behavior no longer works.

Current Behavior

Portals cannot be created inside the Vaal Temple

If you leave the instance (logout / exit), the temple closes

You cannot return to the temple to collect remaining loot

This makes it impossible to manage inventory during a run, especially when loot exceeds carry capacity

Expected Behavior (Pre-0.4)

Portals created inside the Vaal Temple should allow returning to the entrance/checkpoint area

The instance should remain open so players can stash loot and continue the same temple run

Steps to Reproduce

Go to a Vaal Temple entrance (area with layout selection console and stash)

Enter the temple

Attempt to create a portal inside the temple

Attempt to leave and return to the temple

Result

No portal can be created or

Leaving the area causes the temple instance to close permanently

Additional Notes

This appears to be a regression introduced in patch 0.4

Multiple players report similar behavior after the patch

No patch notes mention this as an intentional design change

I really hope this is a bug. I just left my temple run to stash stuff and can't re-enter now. I am not happy about this since it caused me to lose all the remaining drops / xp of the current run. Before you were able to enter and exit as much as you wanted to get the drops and now you can't. This is infuriating as the temple is annoying as is without being cheated out of loot.
