[BUG] Cannot use Destiny III after loading if used before loading

Phoenix Point Bug Discussion

Repro:

  1. Have an agent equipped with Destiny III.
  2. Save the game.
  3. Fire Destiny III.
  4. Load the save.

Expected:
You can fire Destiny III, since it hasn’t been used, yet.

Current:

  1. You get the “Cannot be used again this turn” message when trying to fire Destiny III.
  2. Next turn the opponent will perform no moves. A very handy way of safely getting a live Scylla btw.

Additional info: I’m playing the basic edition of the game, no DLCs I believe.

The same happens to me with some skills, like Boom Blast.

Same applies to OW.

I can confirm this happens with pretty much any skill that can only be performed once in a turn. So Overwatch, firing mounted weapons, Boom Blast, Onslaught, etc.

For someone who reloads a lot (I like to play out different strategies and really optimize my way through a turn or a mission) this is very game breaking.

The enemies all skipping their turn also makes this worse, as you will often unintentionally trigger this exploit. Here’s hoping a fix is with us soon!

And it’s STILL broken. Well, except no enemy moves part, enemies move alright. It’s just me being unable to use any use-once abilities after save-load.
