[POE 2] Game breaking bug - Lightning Warp crash to desktop

Slotting lightning warp into any “cast on” effect will eventually cause a crash when used. This will occur seemingly at random, no matter what else you use, but will happen more often if you run ball lightning or double lightning warp, and happens more frequently on higher density mob packs. However, it can also crash on a single enemy just from proccing the lightning warp cast once. This makes lightning warp effectively unusable with “cast on” effects.

can confirm with further testing that this can happen at any time purely from having lightning warp on a cast on effect. it is not relevant to using ball lightning, using lightning warp at the same time using cast or cast on, or any support gem interactions. These things can make it happen more often, as well as high pack sizes, but you will inevitably crash if you use lightning warp in the way this post describes. Please fix this, it's an extremely crippling bug for lightning builds.

For clarity, this causes a straight crash to desktop and does not produce an error code.

If anyone else has encountered this issue please post your own experience and bump the thread

I can sadly confirm after using ball lightning + lightning warp and a single lightning warp on my cast on freeze support
Can also confirm, that after unsocketing only the lightning warp from the CoF setup, i had literally 0 crash issues, definitely the root of the cause.
I confirm. Cast on minion death + lightning warp causes the crash.
Fix please
I lvled a new sorc for cast on shock with lightning warp and now it crashes :(, please fix!
Same here!
Can confirm. I have lightning warp slotted in cast on shock and other warp as normal skill.
Doing some testing I believe issue might be caused by two instances of Lightning warp happening at the same time.
same here
Still an issue? Was thinking about making CoS warp
