Murkmire main quest broken (Death and Dreaming)

Tl;dr the Death and Dreaming quest is very broken and is difficult if not impossible to finish right now

The main issue is the murals in the Dreaming Cave, which you need to interact with to progress. Most of the time, interacting with them will just have your character turn and look at the murals, but not activate them. This is during the quest step when you have to interact with a specific one, after drinking the potion

Relogging simply puts you outside of the Swallowed Grove entrance and resets all quest progress you made inside those areas, which is very annoying. Since there are several murals (and therefore several dream areas you have to complete), this is a lot of wasted time. So you can reset and get thru the first mural if lucky, but then have to deal with broken murals afterwards. At that point, you have to reset to try again, and you lose all progress made inside

What makes it worse is that this is going on during the event (need to finish this quest to get some daily quests), and there were major bugs already back last year with this quest, dealing with fighting the Ayleids

Tested on PC gamepad mode. Any updates/advice is greatly appreciated

    This is what caused me to abandon Murkmire on my 3rd character.

    This quest constantly crashed and sent me to the beginning of the whole quest arc (so 20 mins or so of gameplay).

    I simply could not be bothered to continually ‘test’ it to see if ZOS had noticed and/or fixed it.

    Ultimately they did fix it, but I’d never bother to start another character there... way too much effort to have it crap out halfway whenever it felt like.

    Hope they fix it fast.

    I must have been lucky, I had no trouble with it last night, and usually will have the worst luck with bugs.. Have some perhaps changed the interact key to something not recognized for the quest?

    Possibly. Were you using keyboard (not gamepad)?

    Hello:

    Hope someone from ZOS checks this. I´m trying this quest (Death and Dreaming) since yesterday and an invisible wall dont let me talk to "sap-speaker kuzei" . Third part of the dream.

    I guess is a bugged that has come with the new patch (dlc).

    Let me know if its fix I want to finish the quest with a character please.

    Thanks.

    Me and my wife was doing this quest and get stuck on the exact same invisible wall. Relogging, leaving and returning or taking off addons. Nothing worked. Using steak did not work either and we couldn't duel so we couldn't try to knock each other through either. Really sucks cause until it is fixed we can't continue the story line at all.

    Weird I have done this many times without any issues,
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I have the same invisible wall/flickering walls issue in that part, I have tried to complete the quest over three days using advice from support (such as logging out to reset the instance etc) but nothing seems to help. Would really appreciate a solution, I've been enjoying the questline a lot :)

    During the quest "Death and Dreaming" I am at the point where my task says "Listen to Sap-Speaker Kuzei". There is an invisible wall preventing me from moving forward to do this. I have restarted the quest twice. Submitted bug reports in game also.

    Because of this invisible wall I am unable to progress any further in the quest and must give up on completing it.

    It's not in the next incremental on the 8th. We haven't implemented a fix to test yet, so it'll be at least a few weeks.

    If you check this, we had an similar issue yesterday in Nchuleftingh, tried to follow the questmarker in the first "room" to get through to the next area. Although the game clearly stated where we should go, there was an invisible wall and we had to take another way. Might be a coincidence, just wanted to let you know.

    Did the walls of the cave flicker? like in my gif
