Blink bug in Trial of Chaos that prevents progress

/bug reference ID: 4,171,842,184



Before I had completed the challenge, I accidentally blinked onto the elevator platform while it was raised up.

In doing so, the platform then lowered (because I walked on the button after blinking on it).

I carried on and completed the challenge, which caused the platform to start glowing as the exit elevator usually does.

However, stepping on the button in the middle does not cause the elevator to raise up. I cannot blink up either. So, I'm stuck and forced to end the run.

Take 2 at uploading the image:

I started a new run to test a little more. Before completing the first room's challenge, I once again blinked up and onto the exit platform, pressing the button in the centre to start lowering it.

I then quickly walked off the exit elevator, leaving me on the upper platform, and the elevator downstairs.

Now, I cannot blink down, so I am once again stuck. I cannot create a portal either. So I'm forced to log out and end the run.

I guess this can be replicated consistently in any challenge by blinking up onto the exit platform before completing the challenge.

Recent changes prevented blinking to the upper exit level so, once the challenge is complete, you're (almost always) forced to step onto the elevator button instead of being able to blink up. However, it looks like those collision blockers did not include the elevator platform itself, and that can still be blinked onto at any time, causing all these bugs.

Accidentally blinked up another one but somehow managed to not step on the button in the centre of the pad.

Unfortunately, I couldn't blink back down, either from the pad, or from any of the upper platform edges. I was forced to eventually press the button to lower the elevator.

Once at the bottom, the lever switch became available (that would usually bring the platform back up). I pulled it, but it did nothing.

Ultimately my run ended up bricked again: I completed the challenge and now the platform remains stuck at the bottom.
