Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE – Common Bugs, Official Fixes & Best Player Workarounds (2025 Guide)

on

You’ve answered the call to become the Shadow Monarch—only for monsters to vanish mid-fight, bosses to freeze, or a random server disconnect to drop-kick you back to the title screen after an intense battle. Since its November 2025 launch, Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE has impressed players with its fast-paced combat and smart progression systems… but launch week also brought a swarm of bugs that frustrated both solo grinders and co-op hunters.

The good news?
The dev team is actively patching the game, communicating regularly, and working on the most requested fix: OFFLINE MODE.

This fully updated guide breaks down:

  • Officially fixed bugs

⚠️ Active Bugs Still Affecting Players (With Workarounds)

Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE – Common Bugs, Official Fixes & Workarounds

1. Always-Online Requirement & Server Disconnects

Still the most hated issue in the community.

The Problem

  • Random disconnects even in solo story mode

  • Progress rollback after boss kills

  • Players forced to redo boss fights (Igris is frequently mentioned)

Dev Response

✔ Offline mode is in development
✔ Always-online security will be removed once offline mode releases

Player Workaround

  • Use the most stable connection possible (wired > WiFi)

  • Avoid switching apps while the game is running

  • Disable background downloads on PC/console

2. Progression-Blocking Bugs

Checkpoint Loss

Many players report:

  • Boss defeated

  • Error

  • Progress rolled back one full checkpoint

Chapter Resets

Upon dying, some story chapters restart entirely instead of resuming from a recent checkpoint.

Workaround:

  • Restart game before major boss fights

  • Avoid playing during peak server times if possible (evenings/weekends)

3. Ongoing Co-op Problems

Even after patches:

  • Weapon disappearing

  • Skill loadout reset

  • T-posing monsters

  • Invincible “god-mode” enemies

  • Sync delays between players

Co-op remains the buggiest part of OVERDRIVE.

4. Performance Issues

GPU/CPU Spikes

  • RTX 3080 players report 92% GPU load in Ice Area (Chapter 6)

  • Menus feel laggy or choppy

Community Fixes:

  • Disable V-Sync

  • Lock FPS to 60 in-game

  • Run in borderless window

  • Update drivers (Nvidia 560+ recommended)

🛠️ Quick-Fix Checklist (Use Before Anything Else)

✔ Restart the game
✔ Verify game files / reinstall
✔ Check your internet stability
✔ Disable overlays (Discord, GeForce, Steam)
✔ Update drivers
✔ Ensure latest patch is applied

📣 How to Report Bugs Correctly

1. In-Game Report

Settings → Account → Customer Support
This sends logs + system data directly.

2. Official Forum Bug Report Section

Most visibility for devs & players.

3. Include This Info

  • Device / GPU

  • Mission / Chapter

  • Steps to reproduce

  • Screenshots or clips

This dramatically improves fix speed.

💬 FAQ 

Is Solo Leveling OVERDRIVE still buggy?

Partially—major issues are fixed, but server disconnects and co-op problems remain.

When is offline mode releasing?

The devs confirmed it’s in progress and will replace the always-online DRM.

Why do I keep losing progress after bosses?

This is a server rollback bug. Until offline mode releases, this can still occur.

💎 Final Verdict: Is the Game Stable Now?

Rapidly improving but not fully stable.
Thanks to fast patches and dev transparency, Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE is on track to become far smoother in the coming weeks. For now:

  • Solo play works well most of the time

  • Co-op is inconsistent

  • Server disconnects remain the biggest issue

But once offline mode drops, this could become one of the best-performing anime action RPGs launched in 2025.
