PC [BUG] Shrine of Challenge stuck on harder mines

Regardless of changing the shrine to more powerful monsters or weaker monsters, and waiting the next day for it to change to the normal mines, my girlfriend and I cannot get the normal mines. We have tried changing it back and for between the difficulties multiple times.

We are permanently set on the harder version of the mines visually. By visually, when it is on the "easier" setting monsters don't hit as hard, and the blue mines with the slimes with sunglasses are there (level 1). When the harder version of the mines are activated, we are getting hit a lot harder and still see the blue mines with slimes with sunglasses (level 1). When we go to level 61, we see Putrid Ghosts regardless if we are on the easier mines or harder mines.

I think the issue is we both tried using the shrine of challenge on the same day when we first received the shrine.

Due to this issue, we are stuck with not being able to complete the Wizard's Quest to get ectoplasm. From the wiki, ectoplasm only drops from regular ghosts in the normal mines and not from Cobalt Ghosts (skull cavern) or Putrid Ghosts (harder version of mines). Without being able to complete this quest, we cannot get 100% due to the crafting item you receive from the quest.

My friends and I are running into the same issue. I haven't determined if it's a visual bug as you described. I'll try and check tonight to see if that's the case.

Have you done the challenge quest again to see if that resets the mines? That's one thing that we have been waiting to test.
