No mule needed.
Just Save&Exit to get to the character select screen.
Press “Play” right away to enter the game with your character again.
Now Save&Exit a 2nd time.
You can close the game now. Next time you start the game the shared stash will be in the same state as when you left.
edit: The method works 100% reliably. The shared stash saving seems not related to the red pentagram autosave-symbol in-game.
Save&Exit
Don’t close the game, wait for the red pentagram to disappear on the character select screen
Enter the game again with the same character (just press “Play”)
The shared stash saves in intervals IN GAME.
Which is why sometimes items duplicate from a crash. Try it with a TP scroll bro. It works 100% of the time I even have a post from yesterday explaining this solution. Now if you’re on a PS4 it may not work because the PS4 has some even gnarlier bugs then this. But I can confirm the Switch works guaranteed. You can also dupe literally on command by adding a few steps to this.
Edit: Nvm this in fact works on PS4 as well actually so basically all consoles most likely.
Yeah the pentagram doesn’t mean its saving 99% of the time. I think it might mean its loading more of the game or something… But yeah a double save&exit is the only sure fire way of getting shared stash contents to stick. Certain things you do ingame though can cause the game to save the shared stash though because thats why sometimes things end up in the shared stash AND your inventory duplicating the item some times.
Anybody know if this bug is still happening or has it been patched? I’m thinking of going back to offline since player difficulty setting is coming to console and it basically doesn’t exist online for consoles.
The bug is still there, but saving twice works for me 100% (just wait a few seconds after the first save on the character select screen for the pentagram to disappear).
