Hey all, this is a bit of a weird one, and I'm looking to get more examples if other people have run into it. Without additional info, this might be very annoying for devs to track down and fix.
Basically, certain interactable assets in quest occasionally just... don't load. They're not there, can't be targeted or interacted with in any way, often preventing completion of a quest.
Here are a couple examples:
Best Laid Plans, the grate is completely missing. As you can see, Victor Dabonaire is still walking toward it, so there's no way it's already open. When it's missing, you can't walk past that point, but there's no grate to interact with either. You basically have to recall out and restart the instance. This one seems to happen the most frequently, personally.
Another fun one. One of the puzzle pieces didn't load in The Final Enemy, rendering it uncompletable. Though I'll admit this was pretty funny to walk into.
I didn't get a screencap, but I've also had the secret door behind the fireplace in Castle Ravenloft fail to load as well.
Here's what I've determined so far:
If you've encountered this problem, please share any additional info you think might be useful, thanks!

Here's what I've determined so far:
- Getting the area to load again can often get the missing object to appear. In the examples I listed, in The Final Enemy and Castle Ravenloft, I just had to go back through a door to trigger a load screen then come back and the object wouldn't be missing anymore. Though in Best Laid Plans, there's no way to do that except by restarting the quest, though luckily it is right at the start.
- Seems to only affect certain interactable objects in certain quests? I've had this same issue happen to the same objects in Best Laid Plans and Castle Ravenloft. In those quests I haven't seen the issue occur with any other interactable items.
- This issue is intermittent; it doesn't happen every time. It seems to happen most often in Best Laid Plans.
- I first saw this issue at least 2 months ago, probably a bit further back but don't have screenshot evidence to confirm...
- Is this issue client side or server side? (I've only ever encountered this while solo, though being able to fix it via triggering a load screen tells me it's probably client side)
- Are there other quests or objects where this issue has occurred? (Please offer examples if you have them)
- Is there a pattern to what causes this issue to happen, or is it random?
If you've encountered this problem, please share any additional info you think might be useful, thanks!
