    I was able the use the "revive here" function until I used the grouping tool and went to WGT.
    When I died, I wasn't able to 'revive here' anymore.

    Now it's up to you ZOS! :tongue:

    That's huge news if it is indeed the culprit. Did you queue alone and for a random dungeon? Or in a half or full-formed group and specifically for WGT? I've queued alone and in groups, for specific dungeons and for random ones.

    I queued for a random normal dungeon and solo - this time.
    With my other chars (who too got the bug) also random normal dungeon, but in a group.

    Also, we had quite some people leaving and joining the group. Might be important information too.

    Never used the group tool, still have this problem.
    1. When did this begin?
    2. What character(s) is it affecting?
    3. Where were you when you last successfully used it versus the next time you tried to use it?
    4. Where are you when you are attempting to revive? Does it happen everywhere?
    5. Do you own any Crown Soul Gems?
    7. Do you have any points in Soul Summons? If so, how many?
    8. Are you using the 32 bit or 64 bit game client?

    1. Since March 8th
    2. Bosmer-nightblade-werewolf-AD
    3. Not specific, but after gaining the update it have worked for a small time, afterwards it stopped working
    4. happened everywhere, wrothgar, shadowfen, deshaan
    5. None
    6. interesting there is no number 6 in your list.
    7. 2 points in soul summons (2/2)
    8. the 64-bit client.

    When I die and I press "E" at the same time, it says: "This is not the time using that" or something. It appears there's an option which is disabled because we are dead. (no s. sherlock).

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I've just confirmed with a friend who's used the LFG tool quite a bit, in addition to running dungeons like ICP and WGT with me, and he never had the revive issue.

    I do dungeons with my GF, any dungeon, and we do them together in a group, though I seem to have this bug and she does not.

    I had this happen once in Hew's Bane at Thrall Cove, fighting the overland boss there with a group. Had to respawn to a wayshrine and missed out on the kill...

    Just to be clear, it's not the grouping tool (how would that even cause that) and only a handful of people get this bug.

    But either going to a dungeon or dying in a dungeon must be the cause of this.
    I've logged everything I have done, and I was clearly able to revive before I went to the dungeon.
    I haven't done anything in between my last rez and going to the dungeon.

    You might try it for yourself and see if you can reproduce it: take a char you haven't played since the dlc launch, die and try to 'revive here'. If it works, go to a dungeon, die, share what happens.
    This must of course being done on an account that already has this bug, since it seems to be account related.

    I haven't actually played any dungeons either in the last few days. Only the regular public delves.

    Hmmm... Maybe public and group dungeons are handled the same, that could be an explanation.
    I still have 2 unaffected characters left, so I could try this out.

    I've got this bug, and it's the worst. I know the exact point where it happened. Me and a friend were grouped together in hew's bane trying to kill the slavemaster world boss. We kept getting messages "you can't do this while dead" even though we had 40% health. After that message we would die instantly. Even though we were dead, we could not rez ourselves but the bosses fear continued to effect our dead selves. Since that fight, I haven't been able to rez myself on the one toon I did that boss on. I can't rez myself out of hew's bane as well

    Yeah, with my first char I also noticed it the first time after I got killed by her. So when I tried to reproduce the bug it was on my agenda to get killed by her. But it didn't happen this time:

    (that's a part of my log :P)
    20:33 Got killed from world boss Syvarra, still can revive here.
    20:40 Got killed from world boss Syvarra again, still can revive here.
    20:45 Got killed from world boss Virindi, still can revive here.
    20:53 Got killed from world boss Virindi again, still can revive here.


    Have you been to a public or group dungeon, before that?

    I can't recall exact point, but I fought with her for sure before it started.

    Just adding my name to the list of affected parties. It just seems to be my main character affected (Vet 11 Imperial Templar).

    For the record, I've never been to WGT. I have been to dungeons but so have my other unaffected characters.

    No idea when it started but I first nioticed it soon after the TG update.

    Do you remember, if you've died in the dungeon with the affected, but not with the unaffected ones. We definitely need to find out the connection or how to reproduce the issue, if we want it to be solved.

    Hi

    I can confirm I am experiencing the same revive error.

    I have discussed with support through a ticket but although explored a variety of solutions / checks, no result has been found at this stage.

    a)I have tried purchasing new empty grand soul gems and charging them up; this did not work.
    b) I have tried changing my games settings to use soul gems purchased for gold first over store purchased soul gems; this did not change anything.

    1. When did this begin?
    As of two days ago

    2. What character(s) is it affecting?
    I only play one character, I have not tested others.

    3. Where were you when you last successfully used it versus the next time you tried to use it?
    Last successful rez was in a dungeon three days ago.

    4. Where are you when you are attempting to revive? Does it happen everywhere?
    I am unable to rez in every high level zone, pve & pvp that I have tried since the bug, solo and group

    5. Do you own any Crown Soul Gems?
    No

    7. Do you have any points in Soul Summons? If so, how many?
    Yes, 2 points

    8. Are you using the 32 bit or 64 bit game client?
    I have 64 bit machine, and was running from usual shortcut so am uncertain which is the default version.
    However I have run it directly from the 32bit and 64bit applications and same result for both.

    I tested Reward soul gems, changed and not charged and they did not work.
    I will add that I have put all existing soul gems in my warehouse, and purchased more.
    I tested NPC purchased charged, and purchased self charged. Neither worked.
    The 1hr self rez skill does not work also.

    1. When did this begin?
    First time i had the issue was 3 days ago March 13 I think

    2. What character(s) is it affecting?
    Affecting my Vet 16

    3. Where were you when you last successfully used it versus the next time you tried to use it?
    Last time I successfully used was with another lower level character somewhere in stonefalls I think. First time i had the issues was at a world boss in hew's bane not sure which one it happened at first.

    4. Where are you when you are attempting to revive? Does it happen everywhere?
    It now happens everywhere, hews bane, craglorn, lowbie zones

    5. Do you own any Crown Soul Gems?
    I don't have any crown soul gems.

    6. Do you have any points in Soul Summons? If so, how many?
    No I don't have any points in soul summons

    7. Are you using the 32 bit or 64 bit game client?
    64 bit

    Any updates on this? Part of the game is unplayable.

    I thought my keybindings are broken. Same here, 32 bit, after march 8, and happens everywhere. No crown soul gem or skills in soul summons. Only my sorcerer is having this issue, rest is fine.

    You can't even click the button in cursor mode. If you got no soulgems or perks the error sound plays but when you do have a way to revive yourself it simply doesn't respond to clicks or hotkeys.

    I have no idea how far you are into investigating this problem, but if you need someone to reproduce this bug, so that you in the meantime can log stuff, do some diagnostics or whatever, I'll gladly volunteer.
    And I'm pretty certain how to reproduce it, since all my affected chars got it the same way.

    This still isnt fixed....

    It started for me after i had resetted my skills and put some points in the "free revive X hours" skill.

    When will this be fixed? Its super annoying.....

    Experienced this the first time today. Really sucks. Happened in Wrothgar doing the Ogre. Reviving not possible, only at wayshrine.
