And... I still have to swap weapons to loot a body after combat.

I couldn't even harvest the node next to the body either, before the weapon swap.

    How many years have they not taken this embarrassing bug seriously? Most of us have gotten so used to it we barely even think of how janky it is to have to do this anymore. But it is janky, and leaving it in this long just looks unprofessional.

    If wearing Oakensoul, one must do a block/bash type of action to loot when the bug appears.

    Been having the issue a lot today on Arcanist using a Staff. Have to dodge roll or swap weapon to clear it. Cant interact with anything until I do that.

    This has persisted for quite a few years. However this Necrom update has made it much, much worse.

    It is very annoying and frustrating.

    Dodge rolling fixes any issues i have with not being able to interact with things. I might try switching weapons next time since i have it keybound. Might be easier.

    I tried that as well. It works. great. Thanks for the tip.

    Will be useful when using a char with only 1 bar, such as Oakensoul or pre-lvl 15.

    I never had this problem. Until now. Almost every time I killed something, the dead body becomes lootable only after a dodge roll. Super tedious and annoying.

    True, I hadn’t thought about that. :)

    Same as many others: never had the issue until the Necrom update/release. Thought it might've been an add-on flaking out, but at least now I know it's not just me.

    Before I would experience this once in awhile, after update and leveling my arcanist I been experiencing it more. The roll dodge seems to work the quickest next to bar swapping.

    I cringe every time there is an upgrade, yet I still buy it (I should say them, as I have 3 accounts I have to pay to upgrade). My mundus stone (steed) effects now disappear sometime after zoning, among a slew of other cosmetic issues. I haven't bothered to verify if the effects are actually gone or if they are just not showing as it's so annoying and it's not my job and I'm not the only one complaining. At least put up in a succinct single announcement what is known to be wrong & keep it updated & notate that it has been updated. Something that says what no longer works or no longer appears to work. I don't really want to have to read a tome of everything that has been modified to work differently just to find out if it's just my system that's bugged or it's a ZOS thing.

    Outside of that, you guys (& gals) do a great job!

    Addendum: Going to the desired Mundus stone (Steed) to reset it has no effect. But if I set it to a different mundus stone first, then I can reset it to the desired stone (Steed) and it will work correctly for a while. I still haven't determined exactly what is breaking it, but I do know that it doesn't take long to break it.

    Addendum #2: Worked correctly for a while last night, alas it initially does not upon logging in today. Have no idea what the issue is.

    * The *not being able to interact with item/enemy/entity* plagues me too, but *usually* pressing both mouse buttons at the same time once or twice seem to fix it - at least temporarily. *

    Before Necrom I never experienced this bug, now I encounter it regularly.
    Roll dodge helps, weapon swap, too, but today I had to do that after every. single. combat. Each and every random thing I have to kill makes my ability to interact with anything disappear. That's quite a hard hit to quality of life. Wasn't this supposed to be a year with more focus on QoL??

    Before Necrom I never experienced this bug either. I don't know what's causing it, but it's very VERY annoying and it makes the gameplay JANKY. Please fix this ASAP.

    Can't pick up the ball during Chaosball bc I attend BG's on my 'One Bar WW Warden'. Can't exactly slide the ring off and pick up the ball during neverending combat so that was far from a fun experience.

    This problem was a rarity for me before the update last week (PS4 NA). Seems that I have as many 'unlootable' corpses as lootable now, needing me to dodge roll to correct the issue.

    I just created an arcanist. Every time I use a light attack and an arcanist skill I'm locked out of looting the body, and I can not interact with the NPCs. The arcanist is unplayable for me. I will play something else until this is fix. The arcanist seemed fun but I really can't play it if I can't loot or interact. I'm on Xbox. Also I've never experienced this before.

    Issue still present after today's maintenance.

    Can we get any acknowledgement from ZOS that this issue is being looked at?

    No doubt, this bug is very bad this patch. Instead of fixing an occasional occurrence, it happens very frequently now.
    When is this being fixed?

    This has thankfully been noticed by ZOS, but confirmed as such in an obscure thread in an obscure part of the forum as linked above.

    Happy Roll-dodging.
