Passive mode bug

timothygroarke2rwb17_ESO
Hey all,
Just wanna know if anyone else has had this issue before, I've spoken to a few people and they have also said they have had it.
During combat, and from what I can tell a block move can some times lead to you being no longer able to attack. You can still move and interact but you can not attack or use any other moves. Sometimes you can only walk as well. /reloadui works but often you have to log out in order for it to work again.

Many other people had this issue? I am now using screen recording software after having it happen to me twice this evening. Hopefully I can catch a video of it happening.

    So it's blocking that triggers this? Can anyone else confirm/do tests?

    There's another big thread about this (this thread here), till now nobody had any idea what caused it.

    Opening and closing some UI element like your bag or map (or pressing escape twice) can break this btw, don't have to /reloadui

    This blocking theory of yours deserves some investigation.

    I have had this bug a lot lately too, though not always from blocking; it's rather frustrating. However, I find hitting escape and back is a far quicker solution for me that seems to temporarily kick the client up the bottom a little.

    That said, it has gotten me killed quite a few times, and whilst I'm not terribly concerned about the gold required to keep repairing my equipment, the somewhat higher repair costs are an unwelcome side effect. It's also, from some I've spoken to, encouraging the camping of public dungeon bosses and farming of lower-level chests in order to keep a healthy stock of soul gems.

    Sometimes one issue is exacerbated by another, so fixing this "passive combat bug" might at least help keep people moving on a little quicker, than sticking around preparing themselves for the worst case scenario...

    I have experienced this a lot but never pin-pointed what was causing it. Going in to skills and moving them around on the hot bar fixes it for me.

    This has happened to me quite a few times also. I couldn't figure out how to fix it other than /reloadui, which can be a little unsettling during combat. Thanks for some other suggestions to clear it.
    I'll also see if I can duplicate it with blocking.
