Game crashed as I started bandits fight (kidnapped map runners) now can't interact anymore

Opened the portal to rescue my map runners (3x t10 3x t9). As the boss was about to be attackable, the game crashed. Logged back in and the only option I have is to abandon my map runners. Rescue is greyed out. Pay ransom says insufficient gold so I move gold onto my character and then the insufficient gold message goes away but the button is still greyed out.

I cannot possibly have to lose 3x t10 and x3 t9 map runners because of a damn crash bug... I'll legit just quit instead.

C'mon GGG... Game ruining bug. Literally hours and hours of my time gone because of a bug. Boss did zero damage. I did zero damage. Purely a game crash and now I'm supposed to lose hours and hours of progress??

Yeah, they don't reimburse for any reason. This probably could have been prevented if they'd just made it a regular fight with 6-portals, you'd probably still have 5 to work with after crashing. This is happening to people when they crash on the fight where pirates take over your ships also.

If there's one thing this game has taught me, just like with life, you've got to be ready to be disappointed.

Sorry it happened to you though.

They simply need to allow us to click the ransom button.

I've had 2 crashes out of the last 3 times I've fought the pirate boss, I never crashed in the fight prior to last night. The first time I crashed I got the 3.25.0d patch when I restarted the client which said something about a kingsmarch crash that was fixed so I was frustrated but thought at least it was just a one off, but I just crashed again a moment ago so that's a second crew lost in under 24 hours. We really ought to be able to ransom our crews if we crash. It's not like the fight is even remotely challenging. I literally stand there holding down rmb the whole fight and never move and neither does my health bar. losing my crew to a crash just feels horrible.

Can the button at least say what the ransom is supposed to be instead of just "insufficient gold"????

This is horrible game design. The rest of this patch is amazing but this is absolutely game breakingly bad.

At least tell us what the ransom is so we know how to make the decision of whether we should abandon or work hard to get the gold for the ransom.

The worst part of this design is that it shows 6 portals unlike the other boss fight that only shows one. It should at least reflect that you only have 1 portal to do the fight even ignoring crashing.

Yep so pissed I lost a crew of 9s and 10s and 3 million shipment to a crash.
Literally 1 week to get it back. This "design" should be hot fixed so fast but for some reason some *&*** at GGG thinks its ok. Best league ever and THIS RIGHT HERE is leaving me not want to interact with the league.

GGG - This is the most frustrating part of this league! I don't mind the occasional crash but losing 6 level 10 Map Runners because you cannot reopen the portal is feels incredibly unfair after all the time and expense to get those runners. I am done with wasting time and resources on map runners unless this gets fixed.
