Xbox light and heavy attacks all weapons not working

ksbrugh · July 26

When I load into a dungeon or travel to a new place my light and heavy attacks refuse to work any weapon I put on.
Sometimes resetting ui works sometimes it doesn't just depends. Usually after about 20 minutes they start working again sometimes much quicker it's random.
Did the same thing a couple years back but it went away after a couple patches.
If I put on a destruction staff it will shoot out a little Powerball of flame but it will just go right through things or it stops about a half a foot in front of it like I'm hitting a wall.
Driving me cray cray.

Ps all my skills work on my damage and skills and my healing skills all seem to work just perfectly fine

I have that happen occasionally as well. It usually means the game and client have become out of sync, so the server thinks you're some place else. What's odd is that if you have a companion out, they will happily attack whatever is attacking you, even if you can't do any direct attack yourself. (AoEs work if you can fire them off, but that's it.)

All you can really try doing is changing zone again, or (failing that) a complete quit/restart. Note that the interference causing the issue could be anywhere along the connection path, from anyone you're sharing your local network with to some issue on the other end at the data centre. A couple of times, it was because my one of kids had started a Steam download, and the cllient seems to ignore other devices on the connection and hog all the bandwidth.

You could try submitting a bug report using the in-game function, since that should provide ZOS with key additional information. Note that you won't get any kind of response or acknowledgement that way, though.

Having this problem intermittently on XB-NA. The "Mend Wounds" does not apply in my case. What fixes it is a simple travel, forcing a reload (I don't think I have access to reloadui on console?)

I feel like every time I find myself with this problem, it occurs after triggering a rapid series of actions often involving a change in perspective (between 1st-3rd person, or running through an archway that causes the camera to move significantly). It seems like something is getting dropped or not cleared properly in the actions?

I've tried all of these steps the only one that works is logging out waiting then logging back in. It happens a lot when I log into a dungeon like arx.
Don't even have the spell mending unlocked and it still happens

Steps in the article do not help. This occurs every time I play since the last update after just a few minutes of play. The only way I get it working again is to close the game completely. Reloadui does not fix this, nor does logging out. This has happened intermittently for a long time but constantly to the point of being unplayable since the latest update.
