When I buy a valuable that adds a permanent buff (like Dragon's Bounty with +25 HP), I can see on my character sheet that the bonus is applied. However, the next time I save and load, the bonus is gone.
I can reproduce this consistently and so far for all types of buffs from valuables I've found.
Same. I didn't even notice this was happening until I was already 50+ hours in because I just never checked my stats page.
Have had the same issue with the save and reload thing with the “permanent” buffs being gone after you save and reload.
this is on PS5
Do we send this via report about the glitch to ea?
+1. Consumable bought items, which give permanent buff, work before loading. After disappear
2nd post: after the patch, 1.000.003, on PS5, the issue of the permanent Buff disappearing after loading up a save has not been fixed😭😭
Yeah, I bought all of those items available. Which means I lost a lot of gold. So EA please remove those items from the game or fix the bug, otherwise its player trap. I bet they will mark this bug as minor, but when I discovered this I feel big disappointment for wasting my time, as I don't have enough money to buy all Items I would buy, so I destroy all barrels I can see to get every bit of sellable items I can get. And on top of that my effort of walking around all the markets and buying those items is wasted. My character should be more powerful because I was doing that from beginning of my playthrough, every time I saw "consumable" item I was prioritising to buy It or If I didn't have enough gold I was coming back later to do it. WTF.
It really sucks to put all the time into getting them and then they disappear😭 kind of stuck now cause I want to buy more before continuing, but don’t know when the next patch will be out
So EA, please fix the bug so we can have those upgrades you put into the game and use them!!
I came here to say the same thing. I bought several "permanent" buffs, only to see the stats are gone when I loaded my save the next day.
This is one of those issues that's game-breaking for me. I absolutely cannot play the game until they fix this issue. Making builds is the most important part of gameplay for me. Seeing my stats and making sure everything is working is critical. I can not play this game any further until they fix this asap!
That sucks man. I 100% agree with Your statement that making builds is mandatory for this kind of game. TBH I will finish the game with that bug. I just decided to act as those items never existed. My reasoning is that It can be bug with game saves. If that is the case, there is a big chance those items are permanently gone, you will never get buffs back and fix will be only working with newly used items on new save. Anyway I was thinking that I could play 2nd playthrough with other class... well I will wait until they fix this.
While it's annoying that it doesn't work, it doesn't ruin builds or break the game in any way. It just doesn't add the extra power, defense, or health like it should. And it's not even that much. If you bought all of the damage buffs, it would prob be an extra 10% damage. Super annoying, just not game breaking. Just my friendly opinion of course.
Honestly wouldn't have noticed if not for this post - pretty sure I've already purchased over 80% of these buffs too so hopefully it gets fixed soon
