Late game quest: Isle Of Gods - GAME-BREAKING BUG

I know for a fact this is affecting multiple people.

In the mission Isle of Gods, you come upon a courtyard full of blight boils and fade tears. To progress, you have to destroy all of the fade tears. However, many of the bought boils are blocked by fade tears. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue: approach the fade tear, start the explosion sequence, quickly dash out of range, yadda yadda, been there, done that.

However!

For some reason, during Isle of Gods (and only during Isle of Gods, I checked) approaching the explosion radius of the fade tears results in an immediate death screen. You do not have to touch the fade tear itself. The moment you enter the potential explosion radius your Rook dies instantly. The explosion animation doesn't even have time to start; it plays AFTER you die, in the background of the death screen. 

This is DEEPLY frustrating because it makes the game impossible to finish.

I was able to get the tears to function as normal for about two minutes, following a repair via the EA launcher, but I was unable to progress before the bug started acting again. I also attempted it with and without mods thinking that may have been an issue but the tears still kill me instantly. I have attached video proof. PLEASE get some QA testers on this and send out a patch! I desperately want to finish this game.
