[Bug] Marked Prey becomes stuck as "Already activated" and can't be used anymore

[tet666]

I can't use my Rangers per encounter ability "Marked Prey" ability anymore it's permanently stuck at "Already activated"
resting,going in combat or loading another save game does nothing.
I read that there was a bug like that with some Rogue and Fighter abilitys in beta so maybe it's a similar problem.

I have the same problem, well its not really marked already activated, it shows 1 use left, its just permanently greyed out. too bad by the time I noticed it, I had gone another 10 hours into my play through.

I have the same problem on my wizard. The spell Grimoire Slam Spell does the same thing. It is a 1 per encounter spell but is grayed out and says Already activated in red letters. I have tired multiple different save points to load from and nothing helps. Hopefully they patch this in the upcoming week.

I just double checked and mine does say already activated as well, that will teach me to post a comment after a 19 hour gaming session :/. this game is eating my life lol.

I have this same problem with a ranger party member. Tried taking them out of the party and sending them on missions even to get rid of it, but no dice.

Just got this bug as well on another playthrough.  Yep.  Luckily I'm saving all time redundantly now and lost probably 15 minutes to it on the same map.  Every new zone, new save.

Hey everybody, thank you for your feedback. The team is aware of this issue. We have a hunch that using an ability as a cutscene starts or as the game saves may cause it to remain in the activated state, but we are unsure if there are other ways this issue may arise. If anybody has any other ideas or 100% reproducible steps, it could help us pin-point the issue and find a solution. Thank you!

I hope it gets fixed soon, this is really irritating. My main character (Ranger) can't use his only useful ability

As already mentioned in another thread, Update 1.04 did not fix this. When will it be fixed? It's not really fun to play like this.

Could you at least do a "stupid fix"?
Like, since these are once per encounter, if you load a game or a different playfield and you're not in an encounter, just reset them?

It would at least give us a workaround.

[cRichards]

The way that our patching system works, we have multiple fixes in at one time as we fix different big issues. We then have to make sure that version of the game runs properly as other fixes get implemented at the same time. The upcoming patch will have a retro-active fix, that whenever a game is loaded, it should reset all abilities to their proper state. Even after this upcoming patch there may still be some methods of acquiring this issue that slipped through the cracks, but if it does pop up again you should be able to save then load to fix the broken ability and continue playing.

Just wanted to chime in and add that I have encountered the same issue, and re-loading the game does not fix it. Just gald I didn´t make a Ranger main char.

The upcoming patch will have a retro-active fix

what's the expected general release time on that?  weeks/days?
