Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback [BUG] Numerous Skill Bugs!

Greetings, this is my first post on the forums. Apologies for the poor formatting.

This bug happens in the Definitive Edition!

I've been having a problem where a lot of self-cast spells, and other spells including "teleport"-esque spells such as Cloak and Dagger and Tactical Retreat, will go on cooldown when I try to use them but don't actually work.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something about the game's mechanics but I doubt it...

For instance: Adrenaline has worked the whole game, but suddenly it will go on cooldown, use two AP, and not give me any effect. Same with encourage... I select the spell, press on the ground (and have tried pressing on my character and others), then the animation goes but the spell does nothing.

This started with the polymorph spell Spider Legs but now is affecting almost every skill I have.

Anyone else having problems similar to this?


It happens with the following spells: Cloak and Dagger, Tactical Retreat, Encourage, Medusa Head, Spider Legs, Chameleon Cloak and others.

The window to edit my post has closed so as a follow up:

This is happening in multiplayer in the definitive edition. It apparently doesn't take AP but puts the skills into cooldown.

It happens only to me as the person not hosting. This didn't happen our first few days of playing...

Very frustrating stuff- especially when playing at a higher difficulty level. Has anyone else experienced this at all?

Bump for the love of the seven gods.

Hasn't happened yet to me in my playthrough, but I am the host and no one else in my party is using those skills. Maybe try respecing in the mirror and getting those skills again? Not sure it'll do the trick but hard save just incase, since getting those books will cost a bit.

Maybe a mod conflict if using. If on steam (idk about gog), try verifying game cache/files (maybe whole party should try it that too, just incase).
