Hotfix didn't fix it. Sent a bug report, but not sure how to send Larian a save for them to test.

On the plus side, my run took on a whole new flavor: The party is now a team of contractors running around Faerun to see if the ladders are up to code. "Step back, citizen. This vine is an insurance liability."

More notes:
  • The AI can't climb up ladders either; when it attempts to do so, there's a good chance it ends up inside the world geometry.
  • Climbing down ladders is usually fine, though PCs sometimes take falling damage on their way down. Gale once reacted as though I'd attacked him, saying we're not enemies (yet).
  • Climbing up ladders also deals falling damage occasionally. If this happens on a wooden ladder, the ladder is destroyed.
  • Tested rock ladders; they're no better than the other kinds.
  • The issue exists in and out of combat.
  • I get the feeling that the ladders are the wrong size, if that makes any sense? It's as though PCs try to get off at the top, but aren't quite at the right z-level to transition from the ladder to the upper floor. Just a guess, but what do I know? I'm just a simple paladin who took the oath of Workplace Safety.
