Trying to figure out if this is on my end or not. After some, not all, kills, I become desynced so I can't interact with anything. I have to reloadui or port out and back in to reset it. Anyone else seeing this?

    I've had issues interacting with things like containers and quest items, where the E prompt won't even appear. This is generally after fighting so maybe the trigger is kills (but not consistently). Bar-swapping takes care of it for me.

    Roll dodge also works for me. I figured something was wrong when I was unable to loot the bajillion urns in the tutorial.

    I too am having this issue. And it's not choosy as to when it may affect you.
    Tried a Repair via the Launcher because I thought maybe my files got corrupted while updating the game yesterday, and it didn't help.

    Can this please get looked into @ZOS_GinaBruno ?

    Target range on a lot of things are much smaller than before, trying to hit that Wagon outside of Mournhold to go to the new zone, I had to stand right on top of it for it not to be "out of range" for it to port.

    That sounds like a whole different issue to me than what I am talking about.

    I will use as an example one of the times I faced this issue.... I was standing fishing, minding my own business and a crocodile decided that I was a bit too close to him and apparently I looked like a tasty appetizer to him.
    He comes over to get his snack, I killed him, and turned back around to continue fishing and I could no longer interact with the fishing hole.
    You can run around in circles around the object to try to interact with it and nothing.
    You can stand on top of it and do a hula dance, nothing.
    Meanwhile, The fish in the fishing hole that I was trying to deplete were all jumping in and out of the water laughing at me because I could no longer try to catch them...

    And such is the story.
    It happens on Barrels, Crates, Mobs you just killed, Fishing Holes, NPC's, etc.
    On land, in a Public Dungeon, in a Delve, In the water.....it don't matter.
    You just all of a sudden lose all chances of Interacting with objects.
    Unless you are lucky enough to find a way to break out of Zos' No Interaction with the Target jail.

    *** Tried to explain this issue as best I could and with a bit of humor.

    I appreciate the advice but this is definitely desyncing, no matter what you try to interact with, at any range.

    One Bar build here but I will try roll dodging, mounting, and jumping to see if any of those toss me the key to Zos' No Interaction with the Target jail.

    And Yes all this things are just a temporary fix.

    This does need Zos' attention and needs to be fixed asap.

    i noticed this a few times during a public dungeon run with my girlfriend yesterday, there were times i could not loot until i bar swapped

    didnt seem to happen all of the time, but enough to be noticeable

    after the mob was dead then i tried looting and was like "huh, thats weird, no loot interaction" and it took me 2 instances of that happening to figure out that bar swap fixed it lol

    Sometimes barswap helps, sometimes opening a crown store and rolling out of it, in thea worts cases usually reloadui fix these kind of the isuses.

    The same for unavailability to cast spells

    I usually do a roll-dodge, since IIRC that was what a dev recommended a few years ago in a thread about this type of issue. But I'll definitely try bar-swapping to see if it helps, as that might be quicker.

    For me, there are certain types of enemies that nearly always cause this issue to happen, such as a Bone Colossus. The first time I really became aware of it was back when Elsweyr was released (because of all the Bone Colossi in one of the public dungeons there), but it doesn't matter whether I'm in Wrothgar, or Cyrodiil, or anywhere else-- after fighting a Bone Colossus, I almost always need to roll-dodge to loot anything.

    This and looting kills. Used to happen rarely now it's pretty frequently since update. I think there's another thread about this that I posted in, too.

    Its not just you heard tons in 5 guilds on both servers having same issue. Could be addon caused I guess.
    Just tried dodge roll no luck for me still had to reloadui.

    Yes. Got trapped behind a door I could not interact with in a dungeon. At that time, /reloadui was all I knew that worked. Overall, happened three times during a single dungeon run, but I only had to /reloadui one time.

    As a one-bar build, at the time, weapon swapping is possible but more complicated. Did not try roll dodge. I did find out that getting back into a combat usually fixed it, if there is something left alive to combat with.

    I have not ruled out an addon like NoInteract or NoThankYou that turns off interactions with various objects.

    bringing up no thank you addon could also be a culprit (as the addon is a bit outdated and has a known issue with stuff like lorebooks)

    roll dodge works for me. Happens all the time.

    Using Arcanist skills, then boom you can't loot, interact with environment.

    I don't run an Arcanist, but I have run with them, and coincidental or not, I was inside some green glowy area in the floor before it happened each time. Of course, I spent most of that dungeon inside one or more green glowy areas, so maybe not as important as it sounds.

    Yes I've seen this maybe 4 or 5 times since the patch over the same number of playing sessions. Came to forums just now to see if anyone else.

    After a kill the interact key becomes non-interacting. Sometimes I can't select a corpse to loot it, others I manage to loot but can't select items. The E key is working, tested by opening chat and typing.

    I thought it could be de-sync, some other actions stop working for a little while, bar swap, draw/sheath weapon etc. I have my latency displayed, ping doesn't fluctuate when it's happening.

    I can still move around, the ESC still works, show/hide UI works.

    I haven't found a way to fix it, it just seems to come good after about a minute or two, will roll-dodge a go. Has been whilst playing both arcanist + other, older toons.

    I use one mod, which is out dated, full immersion UI or something like that. Am going to see how it goes, I find it pretty hard to play without it but will disable it for a while when I play again.

    That's actually what I used to do in the Elsweyr public dungeon after fighting a Bone Colossus-- if I couldn't loot the corpse, I'd go find something else nearby to kill, then go back and loot the first corpse. Once I read about doing a roll-dodge and saw that it works, that's what I do now. If bar-swapping also works, that will become my preferred workaround.

    This just started happening to me after the big publish. Bar swap, eh? Only problem there is - High Isle opened up for ESO Plus with the new chapter. So I ran in immediately and got the Oakensoul ring - now I can't bar swap.
