All item stats get reordered after playing Titans content

[tropic topaz]

There seems to be a weird bug possibly relating to the Titans DLC, where the ordering of item stats gets flipped around. Eg. Sensor ship/loot range will change order. Weapon Kinetic/Energy damage will flip around, similar for Armor/Repair on cargo, Recharge/Capacity on shields, and so on.

I can't pinpoint exactly what may have caused the issue, but saving and reloading, or jumping back a save or two did not clear up the issue, i had to rollback several autosaves before stats where shown correctly again.

I'm attaching the first (autosave) save file where this issue has occured, successive (auto or manual) saves after this one also had the issue.

I mention the Titans content because this seems to have happened after i started sitting in Zharkov and repeating Titan events, i'd been playing for hours beforehand and farming Incursions with no issues. I then decided i'd go farm some Titan content instead and then this issue cropped up.

It's a known minor bug that can happen on some items, yet on others the Stats will remain the original way.

I don't think we ever found the offending cause, but I'll mention it to the team anyway but it's unlikely to be fixed at this time.

In this case all items were affected, even reliquaries had their stats flipped around.

Another minor note, incase this could be relevant, i started recently using Wrath of the Fallen (cargo unit). It converts enemy units to friendly temporarily. I havn't used it until recently, maybe that could be related (maybe not).

Don't think my above note is relevant, just had this same issue again on another new save (no wrath of the fallen), had just finished the missions to unlock the dreadnought content, ran my first couple of repeatable dread encounters after jumping back into Zharkov and had the bug happen again within 2 dreadnought visits. Rolled back to an earlier save, did a dreadnought encounter again, bugged again, reloaded, did encounter, bugged again.

Ended up reloading to the save when i arrived in Zharkov (via the bypass) and jumped straight back out. I'll have to come back to these later when i can be bothered to sit there making save points and reloading/saving between interactions again.

It's definitely (in my humble opinion) a dreadnought related bug though, not had any issues up until reaching the repeatable dreadnought encounters (which is when the issue has come up previously).

Actually, i just noticed the save i'd been playing from before the dread encounters (where i had jumped in via bypass and back out again) was actually partially bugged to, usually weapons show Kinetic Damage, Energy Damage and then range, the latter two were the wrong way around, ie. range was between Kinetic and Energy damage. So i've rolled back my save from before i jumped into Zharkov and they're now back in the correct order.

I usually jump into Zharkov via the bypass whenever i'm hopping in to do some dread encounters, but if the issue is related to jumping in (to Zharkov specifically maybe?) via the bypass, that might be something worth testing (i'll test more later).

Nope, using gates doesn't help. Had one dread interaction, no resorting, travelled to gate, jumped out, still good. Saved, jumped back into zharkov, bugged again. Reloaded, pre-bugged state (when i saved) was now also bugged. Had to jump back to an autosave (the one created when i first arrived in Khait Nebula, moments before my manual save). The only difference i can see between the auto save and my manual save is that i resorted the inventory (i always sort by rarity) before i created the save, which i suppose could be relevant given these are both sorting related and i resort the inventory in the same way frequently, this issue however only crops up when i've been in zharkov and/or interacting with dreadnought events.

Ok well i've managed to avoid the bug by not sorting the inventory when flying around (ie. undocked) and only sorting when docked somewhere, i've gone through 3 dread interactions so far. saved and reloaded without the stats getting bugged, so it seems to be related to sorting the inventory when undocked, and somehow relating to zharkov and/or dreadnought events (i can't say noticed any issues in zharkov before this, and as i said previous, i always sort the inventory so i'd expect to have noticed this earlier in the save(when first in zharkov) - i could be wrong of course).

[tropic topaz]

For now that's a working avoidance tactic (5 interactions without it bugging now), only sort inventory when docked after a dread interaction. Not sure if these saves will bug again later or if docking somehow resets something that fixes the issue, had enough for now, so i'll report back more as and when.

Thanks for testing your theory, let me know if it does reset.
