Game Breaking Combat UI Bug

I've encountered this bug numerous times so far. What happens is you go into combat, initiate, and then... None of your buttons work. You see the clicks on the buttons themselves on the ability like it's being pressed, but it doesn't work. Reloading the UI tends to fix it, but it's not something you can do in combat without dying. Especially if you initiate and are squishy, as absolutely no abilities work. You can possibly block, but you can't even melee attack anything. Please fix Zenimax, you are our only hope.

    I've had this happen a few times, usually opening any menu fixes it (ex: opening map then closing).
    Hope it works for you.

    I've had this happen too. Gamer voodoo fix as above.

    A real fix for this needs to be patched asap.

    Yes, have experienced that as well... does not happen often but when it does it's usually right before something hits the fan.
    Most annoying... :\

    I had this happen twice yesterday on one of my characters. I died both times and then relogged to fix the problem. I also noticed that when my character respawned after dying to this bug I couldn't run no matter what I tried. I sent in a bug report but wanted to add to this thread. I didn't know about the open window temp fix, so if it happens again before they fix this I'll try that.

    I've found that pressing ESC to get the main menu, and then ESC again to return to combat fixes this issue. Still, I agree that it is a pain.

    If you're squishy?
    If at first you don't succeed, keep trying. And again. Eat a cookie, read a wiki, I dunno, just try to relax, the frustration will only give you a headache.

    I've had this happen several times, pretty frustrating, especially with repairs being so expensive.

    I'm getting this error quite a lot. Nightblade here. Either from stealth or during combat, don't know what triggers it. Pressing esc, alt or whatever brings up an interface change such as inv/map etc will fix it but it still very annoying...

    I'm getting this issue at my NB quite often, too. ESC helps and /reloadui helps. Also the slow motion issue (not able to run, actually you can run, but everyhthing is in slowmo) decribed in reply 4. For that one you can dodge (on button press), then it will be gone.

    [EDIT] They are very annoing indeed.

    Same here. There are other two threads about this, but still no officiai answer or solution other than the voodoo one (opening a menu tab).
