Sitting in a Chair Bug

Waffennacht

I've had this bug occur in Cropsford as well.

When you sit in a chair, sometimes you can become button locked and can't do anything. You can't get out of the chair, nor can you activate anything. The only way I have found to get out of the chair without logging out is to be attacked.

Here is a video of being stuck in the chair and unable to get out

Thanks! We're digging into this.

If you run an emote, will that get you out of the chair?

@Waffennacht I was scrolling through posts (on my phone) and saw your picture and though it is shared by couple of people, I just knew it was you.

P.S. Those chairs got me real nervous

The emote runs but u remain in the chair.

I had it happen in Rawl

I'm wondering if it's any chair or what

I did have this problem on PC as well. I thought it might have had to do with the fact I logged out while sitting on the chair, but that might not be the cause. I escaped by using a Wayshrine.

I got stuck in a chair a couple days ago also. It was right next to the Honeyed pie and I clicked it accidentally. Totally stay away from those chairs, cuz they grab you and don't let go.

An option to never "sit" would be great. I don't us it. I only accidentally set when trying to loot.

This happens often. A fix we found was swapping weapons will get our characters to stand.

Bug still exist... fixed it by /unstuck but had to pay the gold toll....

Certainly, in my experience, there are several chairs and benches to which a character will become "stuck", throughout Tamriel. One is next to the Crafting Writ Notice Board for Equipment in Vulkhel Guard. Some are in outdoor locations such as that one, but most are in indoor locations, such as delves and dungeons. I've reported them via /bug Feedback,. Nonetheless ZOS has, in my experience, evidently deferred correcting the errors until they get A Round Tuit.

However, often I log-out of my characters while they are sitting in a chair, or laying on a bed. Since the introduction of character housing, usually they are in a Homestead, but sometimes in another location. Often I use the emote /sitchair when I want to leave the character in a location where there is no chair in which he can sit.

When I log-out, the character remains seated (or laying on a bed) because I enable the No, Thank You! add-on option to stop the software from switching the character to standing and facing outward on the HUD when I press <ESC> (then select Log Out or Quit).

Subsequently, after I choose the character to play on the Select Character UI, the HUD displays the character standing in the location where I left him. It looks a bit odd for him to be standing on a bed when he was lying on it at the time I logged-out. Thus far, at least, none of my characters have ever been "stuck" to a chair or bed in this context.

The reason I have this habit is that I used to play World of Warcraft. Originally, when a player logged-out they should leave their character in an Inn to rest, although not necessarily laying on a bed. After about 8 hours of play, a character begins to be affected by exhaustion and needs about 4 hours of rest to recover -- regardless of whether the player needs to recover, too. After the player subsequently chooses a character to play, the character will be displayed exactly as they were when the player logged-out.

I know this is old, but it is still there. I just got stuck in a chair in the Vulkhel Guard Outlaws Refuge.

I accidentally sat down and now I have to beam out to get up. Annoying!

I'll second that the problem is still there. Happened to me recently when I tried to read a book and sat onto the nearby couch instead. While I was starting to sit, I attempted to abort and read the book. Instead it glitched me where the buttons no longer worked and I wasn't able to get back up. All I could do was lean more one way or the other. Had to reboot to correct.

I have the feeling this is related to many other ESO bugs in that it's also a client-side vs server-side desync, in this case where you are sitting client-side, but the server is registering you as standing.

I don't think you dug very much. I am now stuck in a chair once again. I just wanted to take the free tomatoes, and now I have to log out and back in just to stand up.

This should be easy to fix. If you are sitting and press X (PS4) standup. Plain and simple!

FilteredRiddle

Bug still exists (Xbox NA).

I was looting a backpack in Cyrodiil - Eastern Elsweyr Gate, fountain West of Siege Merchant icon on map - and accidentally sat instead. The only thing that finally allowed me to stand up was going into the Crown Store and previewing a mount.

FlopsyPrince

It is so annoying to accidentally click "Sit" and be stuck. I had to give up a dungeon queue just now just to free myself from sitting.

Please fix this! Always stand up if X (on PS4) is pressed while sitting. No matter what. That would fix it immediately.

FlopsyPrince

They aren't looking too hard. It remains a problem. I wish I could remember how I have gotten unstuck (PS4) in the past. I am in the middle of a delve and I don't want to start over.

Port away. To a friend or a guildie.

The port animation will force your char to stand up and create a purple sphere. Once you see the spere, cancel the port by walking away.

That option works only outside of Cyro, obviously.
