potion effects bug? (possible spoiler)

This has happened twice now and it really irks me.I prepare some pots, drink, do a mission and there might be a cutscene, then when I return to gameplay all the effects are gone even though only an hour has passed.Specifically (spoilers ahead!) in act III when you go to the salamandra hide out and discover the magic mirror then fight the werewolf. I made a bunch of pots and drank at 23:00 (all 8 hour effects), meditated til midnight to reduce tox, and when all was said and done it was 1:00 and I was robbed of all effects.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm thinking it has something to do with the werewolf movie.

Also all my sword enhancements like diamond dust/argentia are gone.... Big bummer. Sorry didn't see and edit button.

I know. Just skip the cutscene pressing left click (if I remember rightly). It should work.

Skipping cutscenes works when the real-time taken to show the scene runs your potions out of time.However, some cutscenes fast-forward the clock ... so duration-based effects will wear off.For example, the end of Act 1 has a cutscene that happens at midnight.So, if it's 6am, and you trigger the cutscene, all your duration-based effects will decrease by 18 hours.If you wait until 11pm before taking your potions, then trigger the cutscene, you should be ok.
