Description:Personal Void Shields randomly vanish - INCORRECTLY & WITHOUT DEATH

"Protective energy shield. Every Usage Provides a 500HP strong rechargable Energy Shield.

Does not expire, but all bonuses are lost on Death."

Yet shields randomly disappeear during stages. I was able to narrow it down partially, but not fully:

Scenario 1: Have shield(s), activate cutscene. Shields disappear.

Scenario 2: Randomly disappear during battle. I do not mean get depleted, I mean DISAPPEAR never to regen.

Steps To Reproduce:

Scenario 1: Have shield(s), activate cutscene. Shields disappear.

Scenario 2: Randomly disappear during battle. Do not know how to reproduce. Suspect it may have to do with "Reanimator Glands". Cannot confirm.

I dont care about knockbacks or knockdowns. But i do care about cutscenes and interactive items that pops UI on your screen. That **** removes my shield and its a worst "feature" i have seen in games for a decade!

On my last mission i used 5 terminals and losed 5 shields juts for lulz. What kind of game designer or programmer made this? Oh my...

Especially i love when BOSS cutscene pops and removes my shield right when i need it. It's just AWFUL.

Fix it already.

Upon further testing, not connected to Reanimator Glands. Shields can be randomly lost at full HP.

The cutscene problem just got fixed on our end, the Shield will remain active even after the cutscene. This will go for the Fiery Storm as well which also vanished (it can vanish though due it can expire during the cutscene).

The first issue can be confirmed by us as well.

Regarding the 2nd problem: could you provide a short footage about it? We need a clue where we can start to narrow down the issue. Thanks in advance!

So, the reason you're losing your shield in the middle of battle is due to being knocked back or knocked down. There are 3 ways to totally lose the buff. Get run over by a charging enemy (flashes the arrow before it charges), have your suppression in yellow and get knocked back, or have your suppression in red and get knocked down. All of these wipe every stack of void shield you currently have. On my Crusader, I have the perk that makes me immune to suppression damage. The only time I've ever lost my shield since then, is when I stupidly didn't move and got run over by that huge Tyranid boss.

61 days ago oh my... Why is this not a priority issue?

For 50 hours of my campaign (at chapter 4 by now) I feel like a fool 2-3 times per mission!

I use my shield and some seconds later you pop a cutscene. A after that i have neither shield nor my shield cooldown AND also lost one shield charge. Do you want to stack 3 shields per mission? You can try it but once per blue moon. So one of the players items just doesnt work as it should.

Terrible gameplay mechanics and it also hurts me inside everytime it happens...

Plus it seems to me that this bug/feature removes all non-permanent player buffs and not just Void Shield.
