PoE2 life flask causes suicide bug (no remove life effects-reposted to bug forum)

There have been posts here and there across the internet with players experiencing a random suicide bug during endgame. Immune to chaos and poison with inoculation, no remove life effects on my flasks, no remove life on my cast or anything. Suddenly today, my character ‘committed suicide’ three maps in a row. I’m a high level character so it sucked to lose 30% xp which was like a whole day and 3 tier 15 maps. I’ve never had this happen until today, but the life flask refuses to be used, even with missing life/shied with flask applied to shield, then after a moment of not activating, the life flask activates finally instantly dropping my character to the ground, 9000 energy shield untouched one of the times, while having chaos inoculation. I am very positive that the other posts were right and this is indeed a bug. It’s such a debilitating and devastating bug though, I closed the game but I’m scared to play after the patch because this isn’t a currently known bug from what I can see, and it happened to me three times in a row so I naturally expect/worry it will just happen again if I try to continue playing.

(An hour or so later, edited into the original post) Sure enough, logging on after the patch, I was having a good time with some of the new features until I launched my first map of the session just 3min ago and I drop dead at the first touch of my life flask. This is absolutely game , game breaking. I have a little over 400 hours and now I just can’t play anymore because my health potion has a seemingly 100% chance to inflict the ‘suicide’ on my character. Someone messaged me saying they can’t see my character, I’m not sure why, I’m on psn with three characters. JasperTorrent is the character that’s subject here.

Not sure if it is the same bug but my flask would absolutely not restore health in a map (i eventually swapped it out and it worked fine and I finished the map). Health flask had increased rate and the map had decreased life and ES regen so maybe some interaction there. Obviously a different but perhaps related bug with certain flasks just not working as intended.

I know the bug you mentioned, I mentioned it a little. My life flask would refuse to active for a moment, seeming to not work, then it inflicts the suicide on me. As for the map modifier that reduces flask/life/mana regen speed, I don’t run maps with those modifiers. Not worth the pain, only ironic I avoid the maps with those modifiers, only to start suffering a bug that’s turned my life flask into a Suicide button. There were no gear or perk changes from between yesterday where this never happened to me and today where it seems guaranteed to happen to me. I just logged on in the morning, booted a map with my character as is, and my life flask suddenly wasn’t working. My shield got refilled from grim feast but I’m all still pressing my life flask seeing that it was refusing to activate, and then one of the presses kills me. Map 2 and 3 I drop on first press of life flask, map 4 repeated the instance where I was running around alive pressing life flask with no effect until it eventually activated and one shot my life, shield still full. Again, no lose life modifiers on me since I have 1hp. Immune to chaos, poison and so on, enemies were only on screen one of the four times this happened. So I’m extremely certain as to what’s going on. I’ve found other posts comparing about that, but the replies basically say ‘it can’t be life flask’ but I’m just saying my experience here, it definitely seems like my life flask is making me commit suicide. Suicide in the battle text each time, and I had never even known I could I that to myself, suicide until my life flask today.

I’m more mad than I seem. This absolutely sucks. I’m not going to lie, I was chronically addicted to poe2 after putting so many years into poe1. I have all the citadels discovered, I just needed to feel comfortable enough to attempt all three and not die, and my 400 hours is seemingly brought to an end until I can use my health potion without dropping dead. I got a lot of other games installed, but I'm all being bored in them wishing I wasn’t bugged in poe2 so I could go back to playing my atlas. I really was loving this, I mean no shade to the devs, but my experience is flat out ended until this bug is addressed. I’ve found posts about it dating as early as December 9th, but no word from GGG that they are aware of this issue. So I’m upset you know, my game is ended until it’s resolved. Not a bone in my body wants to play a game that’s not poe2 right now but poe2 but I’m facing thin issue that I can’t exactly play with and ignore, try and finish t15 maps without ever getting touched? I’m decent but I can’t finish high tier maps without my health potion so I currently can’t play

same issue here life flask wouldnt work i could hear it being used and i could see 1HP go up when i used but thats it

Yesterday, my life flask just stopped working when i pressed it... maybe it will work 12 of 30 times. i use Olroth flask, no changes toi build, just stopped letting me flask to guard or recover, at least 95
% of the time, yesterday and still is happening today.
