-GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (8 GB)
-RAM: 16.0 GB

ISSUE (Memory Leak): Whenever I play for a while in the same instance, my fragments, armor exotics, and abilities will stop working. I was running SotW solo/flawless and almost failed at the final boss due to this glitch. It has happened multiple times now.
REPRO STEPS (Memory Leak):
1: Equip Prismatic Hunter subclass.
2: Equip aspects Stylish Executioner & Winter's Shroud
3: Equip Facet of Hope, Facet of Protection, Facet of Dawn, and Facet of Balance.
4: Equip Wormhusk Crown.
5: Play any mission solo for an extended period without dying. (It happened in the Lawless Frontier on Expert, solo as well.)
ACTUAL RESULTS (Memory Leak): Eventually, you'll stop turning invisible when killing enemies affected by elemental debuffs, you'll stop slowing nearby enemies when you dodge, you won't heal when you dodge, and all your facets will stop working.
EXPECTED RESULTS (Memory Leak): You should turn invisible when killing enemies affected by elemental debuffs, you should slow nearby enemies and heal yourself when dodging, and all your facets should work.
NOTES (Memory Leak): To be clear, this has also happened on other subclasses. This is just the one I've seen it with the most.
ISSUE (Extreme Hitching): It just happens randomly, usually once or twice over several hours. It freezes my screen for over 1 second, then I'm back to gameplay. Having said that, it did cause my game to crash once while I was in the Tower.
If you need anymore info, please feel free to contact me.

1 ReplyEdited by EckyThump: 8/15/2026 1:34:29 PMHey there, this is a known issue under investigation. A table tracks all active effects; perks and buffs go on this table when they trigger and are removed when they expire. However some bugged effects are not removing themselves from this table, each time they trigger, they leave a 'ghost' entry on the table when the effect ends. The table's size is finite and when it fills up, you experience the things you've mentioned. Perks stop activating, buffs no longer refresh, mechanics can break, weapons can go invisible in your hands, etc. Because the bug takes some time to manifest, it is frequently noticed during longer, solo endgame content, something that lasts long enough for the table to fill. The currently identified causes of this bug are: Artifact Perks - No Bell, Iron Lord's Vigor, Blade Stamina. Armour Perks - 2-piece TM (Spire of the Watcher) set, 2-piece Reverie Dawn set. Your Hunter has two Spire of the Watcher pieces equipped. If they were being worn each time the bug was present, they are what is causing it for you. If you're able to find a replacement, the issue should not reoccur. As for the hitching, another issue under investigation is a performance issue on the Steam version of the game. I, for example, find the game to be mostly performing like usual, but I experience a significant freeze before certain things, like the acquisition of a new catalyst.
