PS5 Enhanced-Serious problem-Can’t charge weapons or fix armor

This problem started occurring yesterday.

Anybody having a problem with recharging weapons or repairing armor? When I chose the weapon/armor piece and hit the 🔼 button, I get the aux menu with Enchant, Charge, Repair, Lock, etc. But when I use the d-pad or the left thumb pad to scroll the list, the menu disappears like I hit the ⏺ button. Even showing all the possible weapons that can be in my slots won’t let me charge them; nothing happens.

I’ve tried a different controller, killing the client, restarting and turning off/on my PS5, but nothing helps. Right now I can’t play.

Ps. When I zoned, I could charge my Main Hand Backup by listing every weapon I’m carrying and hitting the 🔼 button to charge it. But still, from the Main Inventory list of “Main Hand, Poison, Main Hand Backup, Poison Back-Up, etc” I can’t charge either weapon.

Pps. I rebuilt the PS5 database but it made no difference.

    Here’s a short Twitter video showing what I’m experiencing. Note that I’m not hitting any buttons after the 🔼 to bring up the additional actions menu.

    I’m on PS5 but using PS4 version. I believe I use the X button to see all weapons or armor available for the equipped weapon, not the triangle button.

    Hi,

    On the main inventory screen it shows the slot of your main hand weapon, etc. On the other vertical box next to it, it shows your currently equipped weapon (not all weapons). At the bottom of that screen it shows “🔼 Equipped - More Actions”. Hitting the 🔼 brings up the “Enchant, Lock, Charge, etc.” menu for the equipped weapon only. This is the sub menu that you can’t scroll up and down. This menu just disappears without pressing any buttons on the controller. See the short twitter video in my previous post

    It works the same when I played on a PS4 and it did the same on my PS5 until a couple of days ago.

    Btw, pressing the X button as you said shows all carried weapons for that slot. But scrolling down this list also makes it disappear without touching any buttons, just like the 🔼 list.

    I uninstalled the ESO client, rebuilt the database, reinstalled the client, and the problem persists!

    This is most probably a result of the emergency hardware maintenance 2 days ago.

    I did watch the video but I guess I didn’t clearly understand the problem. I hope you get it resolved.

    Not had the issue on ps5 eu. I'd guess if it was a widespread problem we would be hearing alot about it. I'll try popping onnto a baby character later that I have on NA to test it

    I haven’t got on today, but I will be later in the day.

    Update: Still the same, but have found other glitches while looking at my guild page. See below.

    Another scrolling glitch:



    Note that using the Right thumb stick to scroll down glitches the screen then snaps back to the top.

    I’m only holding the Right thumb stick down and never letting go.

    Are you by any chance using a Bluetooth keyboard? I've had this problem and, for me, I narrowed it down to some conflict between the keyboard and controller.

    Thank you for checking. No other games I have show these glitches, and I’ve been playing the PS5 version of Uncharted, Doom, etc.

    No, just the stock PS5 controllers. What I don’t understand are the screen glitches. They don’t make sense.

    Odd. :/

    Have you tried unpairing and re-pairing both controllers?

    Also, just because I'm curious: is your second controller the red one? 🤔 Just gathering mental data for peculiarities I've had with mine.

    No. I haven’t tried the unpairing trick with my 3 controllers.

    Also, all 3 are white 🙂

    Haha! I discovered another glitch. I list all the weapons for my main hand, pick the one I want to charge, hit the 🔼 button and I get the normal submenu. This one I can scroll in, but when I press X it doesn’t charge 🤬. But if I repeat this process, the charge works.

    Same problem with locking an item. Takes 2 or 3 times for the lock to be applied.

    Guess what? With 0 done on my part, the complete problem is fixed.

    Glad to read it fixed itself. Just for a quick reference though, when did this issue start? The glitchy screen looks like lag related. Could also explain the issue you were having with charging your weapons.

    There is an event going on and a lot of players trying to squeeze in zones with friends and guild mates. The zones are instanced. I’m assuming 1-99 players per instance but that can be exceeded by teleporting to someone in a full instance. That’s when things start to go wonkey. Also note, the only update to the event seems to be the rewards, so the event coding is likely outdated and causing conflicts with the more current updates. Thats just a theory though.

    Hi,

    The issue started February 11th and stopped on the 19th. I play everyday in the morning and evening so I checked for these problems every time I was on.
