UI Freezing on Death During the Devourer Fight

Twice during my fight with the Devourer my UI froze. Each seemed to be triggered when I died.

Platform: PC
Control Scheme: X-Input Controller
Character: Warrior
Tutorials: Enabled


During this time, I could seemingly select and highlight enemies with my thumb sticks. But I did not get the death screen and could not interact with anything. Other controller inputs unresponsive.

Issue was resolved by using escape on my keyboard and respawning at the nearest checkpoint.

Both freezes resembled the "pause" that occurs during the potion tutorial, and both freezes occurred before the potion tutorial had triggered.

Same thing just happened to me on PS5, I think.
I hard-closed the game from the home screen and it happened again with each death.
The game is frozen but the inputs are active, the animations are playing, but I'm not dying and can't access any menu.

Edit: Adding a clip of the incident

-0:05 character triggers checkpoint below the arena
-2:40 character dies and gets respawned at the top checkpoint (that wasn't previously found)
-6:20 character dies a second time, bug happens

Like I posted above, closing the game from the home screen and relaunching it resulted in the same freeze on death bug until I could kill the boss and move on.

Happened to me multiple times on Xbox Series S.
