Still happening for me. At least once a day. Either when loading into a new zone or returning from a dungeon. PS5/NA

In another post (which I can't find) someone said that pushing the menu and map button will bring up a keyboard on console so you can type/reloadui.

For Playstation you can hit the options button and the center button (Mount) to bring up the keyboard and then type the "/reloadui". I get it less frequently than I used to, but I still get this.

It seems to be happening more and more often for me now PC / EU.
It even happened twice a couple of nights ago when I was in Cyrodill.
I wasn't even able to whisper or send invites, reloadui solved it.

How and Why is this still happening?
6 months later and there is no update, no fix....
It has happened a lot lately, only after zoning in at a wayshtime.

The other night it happened twice straight after zoning in to vardenfell, reloadui and then again after I zoned out of vvardenfell and then later on that evening... It happened again, after that 3 maybe 4 days later it will happen again.

I recall someone from ZoS wanting detailed examples. Apparently they need to be able to find any patterns to this bug and cannot replicate it. I can't replicate it either, it just happens with no pattern after zoning to any wayshrine out of the blue. It's only every other day or so for me also.

Having too this problem recently on xbox series x EU, for some reason sometimes after i wayshrine in another zone the only things that work after is movement and camera the rest doesnt, bottoms wont , everytimes im forced to force close the game and relog. 3 times today in an hour of play.

I don't know if this works on the console but next time it happens, try typing /reloadui into chat. That usually fixes the problem. We shouldn't have to do it, but it's all we've got right now (apart from logging off and logging back in).

I played ESO on the PC for a couple of years with no problems whatsoever. It was one of the updates that introduced this bug (and another bug with the guild trader). It's something the devs did, so hopefully they'll be able to track down which change caused these problems with gamepads.

(Because the devs are having a problem reproducing it, I suspect a threading or other type of similar problem, especially since a /reloadui fixes it. When we're zoning in, things aren't being initialized in the right order or something. The zone finishes initializing without the gamepad controls having been enabled. Or something like that. When I was a (non-game) dev and was tracking down these "I can't reproduce it" type problems, it was often a timing/threading bug, which are notoriously difficult to squash. But it needs to be done, especially since it was working reliably and the devs broke it.)

Just happened to me again.
Before that Feb 28th
And Feb 23rd

Just happened again.
It is such a random thing.
Feb 23rd, Feb 28th, Mar 6th, Mar 7th

Still happening on PS5 NA as well, the last several times it happened in the last week it was after exiting a completed dungeon and returning back to zone.

Stay safe
