Diablo 4 players frustrated by return of season journey progress bug

Diablo 4’s recent patch has seemingly brought back the season journey progress bug that plagued Seasons 1 and 2.

Not long after Season 1 launched, Diablo 4 players began encountering a progression bug. The glitch specifically prevented the game from recognizing the completion of certain quests.

While Blizzard developers quickly rectified the issue, the progression bug reared its head once again at the start of Season 2. Many hoped the third seasonal update, Season of the Construct, would avoid a similar fate.

For a time, players had no problem navigating and completing the new season journey. The 1.3.1 patch that went live on February 1 seems to have disrupted the balance of things, however.

Diablo 4’s season journey glitch returns for Season 3

Reddit user Lyioux shared a post lamenting that for the third season in a row, they’re unable to complete the season journey because of one bugged objective. According to the Redditor, this didn’t become an issue for Season 3 until Blizzard rolled out Diablo 4’s most recent patch.

They explained their woes as follows, “This is a trend for the game for me… I also had 1 bugged objective in both Season 1 & 2 and had to wait over a month to get it.”

Lyioux isn’t the only Diablo 4 player encountering another version of the season journey error. A reply from one disgruntled user reads, “I can confirm, mine is also bugged. Sh** [is] so ridiculous every season every patch littered with bugs like this.”

Another Redditor said they’re just relieved to know the issue isn’t exclusive to their run. “I’m relieved to see someone else had this issue, I was sure I had done this twice and it hasn’t popped.”

While others claimed they were previously able to complete the season journey for D4 Season 3, several people chimed in to say the new patch must’ve broken something.

Reads one such remark, “…it’s broken as of the most recent patch. Both a friend and myself opened 14+ chests and didn’t get it. Seems it WAS working if you did it prior to the patch the other day.”

Unfortunately, some players will remain locked out of season journey progression until Blizzard issues a fix.
