Anyone know wtf is going on here?

I want to path up the right side to unlock simulacrum splinters but it's the only node I can't click. Tried spending a point on one of the others since I'd still have 3 remaining to go where I want to, but no change. 'You though you were free?' is still locked. Switched from controller to m/k in case it was like the passive tree bug, but that didn't fix anything either.
Certain passives are locked behind a step in the questline. You probably haven't killed the correct the boss yet to access that passive point. Once you've done it all you should be able to allocate any point.

So I take it that means I have to do the quest simulacrum before I can unlock splinter drops? That's dumb. At the very least they should have put a lock on the path like in the main atlas tree so that you know you have to do something else first.

Yeah simulacrum frags only drop once you've done the quest(or some part of it not sure). As for the tree, it doesn't show the error message on most parts but every tree has a restriction where you have to do the questline to assign points in the higher branches. I think one of Abyss nodes actually shows the correct error message, everything else just shows nothing so it's confusing. They probably rushed that shit and it's low prio to fix cause they've literally spent a week just bug fixing progress breaking bugs, horrible balance and exploits and they're not even done, this patch was wholy unfinished.

But yeah basically you HAVE to do the questline for the mechanic you want to use. You don't necessarily have to clear all the nodes however as you can get points from killing the bosses, so you can ignore the tree if you have all the right points.
