PC: Gamepad // Arcanist Issue

phreaksh0w1985 · June 2023

Hello I couldn't find another thread that might be experiencing the same. I'm running into a bug while using a gamepad in PC. I could only confirm Arcanist for now.

When killing mobs with the a channeling skill, fatecarver. I can highlight the dead bodies but an action for looting is not availble. I would need to cast a seperate spell OR roll dodge in order for the loot prompt (press 'A" to loot) appears. Does this happen for anyone else?

I have also been experiencing this since Necrom. And it seems to be the same bug that we had years ago...

When you kill an enemy, you can see the corpse glowing but there is no interact prompt. You then have to swap bars, use a skill, dodge, etc. just to be able to interact with it.

I can't say for certain if this is only affecting gamepad and Arcanist because I only use gamepad, and since Necrom have only played Arcanist. But it does appear to be the same bug that we had before.

Hi all, following up here. We've passed this along to our team. They are aware of the issue and will have a fix ready for incremental 2. We should have that confirmed in the patch notes at that time.

Edit- Also wanted to add that the dev team also notes that dodge rolling can also allow you to loot again also.

I do not use gamepad on PC, just keyboard. I have the same looting problem, and found swapping bars allows looting to occur.

same on PC. Suddenly I cannot interact with the world anymore, no door interaction, no looting etc.. I still can run around tho. A /reloadui solves it temporary till the next phase of no-interaction-situation. And this happens quite a lot.

Try roll dodging or (if above level 15) bar swapping

It's not just gamepad issue. I never used one. K&M here.

And not just arcanist issue. Happened to my necro, created years ago.

This is not just an issue with Gamepad or Arcanist so closing this thread https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/637255/why-do-i-have-to-keep-switching-weapons-to-loot-mobs-now/p2 and directing reports here is not very helpful IMHO.

Sincerely hope this will be fixed.

The issue with swapping weapons has nothing to do with Arcanists or Gamepads.

@ZOS_Hadeostry Why did you close the aforementioned thread?

Will this also fix the bug on every other class and KB+M?

@ZOS_Hadeostry Why did you close the aforementioned thread?

Because Kevin responded here with an ETA. He should have mentioned it wasn’t limited to Arcanist or gamepad mode, but in fixing the issue for those categories they will be fixing it for everyone.

They won’t close a thread where someone has put an official comment in favor of one that doesn’t have a comment.

Forgive my ignorance but when is incremental 2? Hoping it is soon as this is very annoying and interferes with game immersion significantly.

Some reports are suggesting this did not fully fix the issue.
