Weird Pickpocketing Bug?

ishtr
ishtr
Reported already, but curious if anyone else is dealing with this.

Since the patch I can't pickpocket or BoW anymore. I can be completely hidden but all NPCs still show up as "aware" no matter what I do. Tried an invisibility pot and didn't work :(. Tried disabling all my addons, then just uninstalling them, all to no avail.

Anybody else?

    Can you interact with other things in the area, like merchants or containers?

    Does /reloadUI fix it?

    I ask because there are a lot of interaction bugs with crafting stations, bankers, etc.

    Yeah I am having the same issue. Since the patch, every npc is always aware of me.
    I did manage to find a weird position which actually showed a percentage steal rate, but attempting to steal kept bringing saying I was not in a position to pickpocket.

    This is super annoying, since my routines involve stealing from and BoW everyone while i'm in a town. :(

    I can interact with everything so far, just no pickpocketing :(.

    Tried /reloadUI before and after uninstalling all my addons. Also tried it after re-installing them, still no luck.

    I can usually get a %chance to steal, but still get the "aware" notice on NPCs and the "you are in no position to pickpocket" message when I try anyway.

    My bank accounts feeling the pain since steal-killing is one of my favorite past times! No word from zeni yet on what to do. They're probably dealing with all the millions of other issues that this patch brought.

    I already can't use BOW as it doesn't show up..another bug in another thread.
    Also getting the aware message with pickpocket grayed out.
    Found out if I stand in front of the target then I can pickpocket with a percent chance but then of course I'm not hidden.

    So, no looting and pillaging for me :(

    BOW and pickpocketing were "working as expected" for me
    still having issues with costumes / mounts not showing and "heat of the fight" issues (picking up mats and mounting not working for a couple of seconds; immediate looting after killing however is working OK).

    I did my usual pickpocketing round in wayrest yesterday and had no issues like that.
    I could however instantly try to pickpocket the same NPC again after a failed attempt. They usually are "suspicious" and can't be pickpocketed for a longer period, this wasn't happening yesterday.

    I also have the same bug. Skills that activate while stealthed do not work, and just about all NPC's in the game world are "aware".

    Does /reloadUI fix it?

    No, /reloadUI does not fix it for me. Also, the bug persists with no add-ons.

    Any word on when you are going to fix the MAC platform and how us that are ESO Plus members will be compensated for the lost time because of the upgrade that made the game unplayable for us?

    That would be great to know. So far I haven't seen/heard anything about these issues getting fixed, and the pickpocketing one hasn't even been acknowledged, unless I missed something.

    Yes, seems to be fixed. I saw nothing in the patch notes about it.
