Can't dismount bug still happening

TikiGamer

I had hoped with the patch notes this week that this was finally fixed but it happened tonight on two different occasions.
This is the bug where you can't dismount, and only being knocked off in combat or relogging can clear this, other wise you can't dismount and many other interactions are unavailable.

Is this a tracked bug and if so can we get an ETA of this being fixed?

yeah that glitch periodically ocurs in laggy motionfull situations, i'm guessing it's dropped packet of ''you've stopped sprinting/doing something/change of status'', perhaps, your client/server is still waiting for ack of a lost/dropped package and will never receive it.
Anyhow, this should be simple to fix.

Happens to me, more times than not, actually. I've found opening & closing the Crown Store (double-tapping the comma key) being the only way to dismount. I could tap 'H' all day and nothing. Annoying, sure...but an easy work-around.

Have you tried sprinting when this happens?

I have seen a case where I get stuck in sprint and cannot dismount. Seems to me that hitting sprint knocks me out of it.

Actually, the workaround I've been using is much easier/faster than getting knocked off in combat/relogging. Open your map and pick the nearest Wayshrine. Choose to port to it, then move as soon as you're auto-dismounted to cancel the port. It is a known bug iirc, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

Happens to me too, all skills blacked out, cant get off the mount.

Happened to me earlier today while in Cyro.

Two gankers attacked me while I couldn't dismount. By the time I was knocked off of my horse I was basically already dead. To add insult to poor coding they proceeded to drop tea bags all over my face.

Dyne

you can go to your collections and change your mount which will kick you off your mount. It happens to me rarely.

Happens to me SO many times every single day.

Most of the times a /reloadui fixes it. Sometimes I have to log off entirely.

At this point, if it forces me to log off, I just go play something else instead.

I'm sure they'll get around to fixing it in a year or so.

But it's ok there's a tonne of home made fixes out there that will fix the fix for you -_-

Time to move on when the same *** that plagued this game a year ago is still plaguing it now.

TikiGamer

Thanks for all those work arounds, that should make things easier until its fixed at least.

Why would you assume that something was fixed in a patch if it wasn't mentioned in the patch notes?

FYI: Changing your mount in the 'u' menu also gets you off the mount.

A wild dev appears!

We're aware of the issue, and working on a fix. As a workaround until it's patched, there are a couple ways to force a dismount.
1.) Attempting to fast travel to a wayshrine and cancelling before the travel completes will dismount a player.
2.) Opening the crown store will dismount a player.
3.) Riding into water will dismount a player.

There may be a few more ways, but hopefully those will help until the patch hits.

Glad to see you guys are working on a fix for this, it's quite annoying. : )

I'll have to use the wayshrine method, especially at the moment since the Crown Store is disabled and there's not a lot of water in Rivenspire. : D

Varicite

So, um, after having used these workarounds, I find this issue:

The workaround only works THAT time. The very next time you mount, you have to use the workaround again and again and again, every single time.

For certain abilities (Rapid Maneuver) that can be used while mounted, the action will ALWAYS be greyed out even the next time you mount, and you still have to use the workaround to dismount. It's better to relog and sit through 2 loading screens.

For me, I'm just going to go play Don't Starve or something for a while. I'm tired of sitting through loading screens just to ride across the zone. : /

Hopefully you guys get a fix in here soon.

you forgot to say if you die it fixes the problem, if you relog it fixes the problem.

Ok but as pointed out if this happens in PvP you are going to die as you have no chance to react. Also I have had a situation where this bug happened I went into water but when I moved it appeared I was still mounted with my mount under the ground. The only solution I found to that was to relog.

changes to mounts were mentioned in the last patch notes

* Fixed an issue where you would sometimes stop abruptly if mounted and moving at a high speed.
* Fixed an issue where mount effects could become stuck on your character player and cause some quests to stop progressing.

Thank you very much for the update and the work arounds.

Due to my (purposely) odd keybindings, I mostly dismount by pressing the sneak button (and releasing it right after).

I don't have that dismounting-problem, but would this be an option for the players who have it? Well, until it's fixed, of course.

At least it's not a menu/window which pops up, just a different way to immediately dismount. I hope it works for you

Neither of those are the bug in question though. Just because they fix some things with horses doesn't mean they fix everything with horses.

Players in the middle of the Alik'r Desert will ride from dusk to dawn just to dismount

Chuggernaut

Don't know if it will help you, but anytime this has happened to me, I bring up the cursor (default keymap period), and I'm able to dismount without issue.

2.) - Did not work for me. In fact all new 1.6 updates are broken when I cannot dismount. So Champion System and Collectables say unavailable when the bug happens. As mentioned previously, to break out I just bring up the cursor and the game returns to normal.

X3ina

Easiest way to dismount is ... to use a potion.

Moonshadow66

So pressing the sneak button, what I suggested earlier, does not work when this bug occurs?
Because I never had this issue that I could not dismount, and I'm always using the sneak button "by default".

Elara_Northwind

My vet12 died in Greenshade by Senche cats and a bear due to not being able to dismount and getting stuck by the wall near the Magnus crafting area! Haha! I have discovered that if you open your inventory then you can dismount Or just jump into water (if there is any around!) Works for me anyway.

Riffler

Sneaking, eating, drinking or potion use has always worked to dismount for me.

Greywolf46

When I can't dismount I go into my "Mounts" inventory and change mounts. That takes me to the ground every time.

Pyr0xyrecuprotite

I have this most often in Belkarth, on my DC V14 templar - almost every time that I use my horse. The bug occurs less frequently in other places and other alts/factions, but definitely does happen.
