endless OS hack loop bug
Ran into a laser in cryo. No big deal, until it was.The OS hack effect would endlessly loop and every time it was done looping it would reset the ability regen pause, resetting the visual effect and they piggy backed off of each other endlessly until I exfilled. No amount of advanced OS debug would fix it (I used FOUR of them).

Hello there,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We understand you experienced an issue with the OS hack effect looping. We can imagine how this may have impacted your experience. For our investigation, please consider sharing the following details with us upon your reply:
Once we have the above details, we will investigate this issue further on our end.
I had the same issue. I was unable to get a video as multiple teams were nearby but here is what happened
After (I believe) running into a laser, I was hacked, and anywhere from 3 seconds to immediately after the hack ended, the hack debuff reapplied itself along with the resulting ability regen pause. the debuff would contently do this but oddly, sometimes it would not reapply itself for a 10-30ish second window, typically when i was not moving. We think it may be that my client thought all lasers were on as the places we were typically had a lot of potential laser spawns, but it also occurred in the vents as well.
as an additional note, i used 6 OS debugs to try and clear the effect (with various timings in the cycle) and while they cleared the debuff, it was reapplied as if nothing happened next time in the cycle
The room where I believe I encountered the initial laser was near the central room and had both a door and vent pathway to there. I do apologize for the vagueness, there were multiple teams nearby and i am not familiar with the cryo map
the approx time i had this happen at was 19:00-19:10 EST 3/27/2026 on Steam.

just had this same bug happen to me and my squad in middle of a fight and no matter what we did it just wouldnt end. we ended up killing the team that we were fighting and then got 3rd partied and the rest is history. after rewatching the clip of it happening we were on the stairs leaving cargo and i got hit with a chem grenade and tripped the laser at the same time, unsure if thats the reason but it could be.also i believe it happen at 11:48 EST on april 4th on steam. marathon ID is Teiro#6955
we lost some pretty decent stuff, if theres anyway we could get it returned wed be very grateful
Hello again,
Thank you for your replies.
We have received reports of players sometimes experiencing this issue with the hack debuff. At this time, we're investigating what's caused this. Your patience and understanding while this issue is ongoing is appreciated.
May 2, this just happened to me. Used an OS Reboot immediately after tripping a laser in Cryo during a teamfight, kept looping the OS debuff on like a 1-2 sec cooldown, and replaying visual animation; teammate HUD markers were removed from the screen so even if I squinted and saw through the static/fuzz animation, I couldn't see where my teammates were and we ended up losing a 3 v 2 because of this. I've played a ton of Cryo and only had this happen once, but when it did it basically made the game unplayable. For a second, I thought a Thief was in the rafters continuously hacking me, but I hid in a covered crevice and it became apparent that it was a bug that just continues for probably a minute before we were killed.
I'm on PC, Steam.
Edit: I don't have footage of my own, but another player posted this and it's the exact bug I experienced (I was also playing Triage, if that matters)
