Western Skyrim Wayshrines suddenly become "undiscovered"

I completed the entire Western Skyrim/Blackreach map 2 days after the chapter released. I log into the game everyday, but today, I noticed when I went to Western Skyrim, it showed my completed character as now missing 2 wayshrines there: Northern Watch and Giant's Coast. Weird, but okay....I go back and rediscover those wayshrines, only my map completion still says I have 17/19 discovered, and it doesn't update with a the pop-up every time you discover any wayshrine in the game. I have ridden away and come back, traveled by wayshrine between those two, over and over, but it doesn't fix it. I relogged too, and even tried on a different character, and despite her never having been to Western Skyrim, she couldn't discover those wayshines either.

So, definitely bugged.

    Those wayshrines were added in a patch as an afterthought - that's why you had them undiscovered. They should still be discoverable, though, so what you are describing is definitely a bug.

    Try traveling from them to somewhere else or to them. Some wayshrines need that to become discovered.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    This is happening to me on XB EU as well. Have tried traveling to and from them. They show as discovered on my map, but not completed in the zone map.

    Same issue for me on Xbox NA. Frustrating when you're OCD and want to have the zone 100% completed yet it tells you that you still need to discover 2 wayshrines.

    Two were added, on the northern coast AFAIK.

    Thinking back.... I do remember something different about a few wayshrines in Western Skyrim, specifically when I got close to them I didn't get the popup for discovering the location. Rather, I had to travel from it in order for it to not be greyed out anymore. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but it's obviously related to this. Hopefully they come out with a fix next patch.

    Yep, they never appear white on your map even after using them. Very annoying. Xbox Na here too

    Can you also free all the animals, it appears the last fix didn't work... must be a magical Wayshrine this one!

    Western Skyrim, I found both of the new wayshrines but I didn't get any XP or anything saying that they were discovered. They both appear white on my map and I can travel to them. Now on my compass bar, they appear black. When I check the zone map, I get 17/19 wayshrines found. I checked the right side and it states that I am missing Giant's Coast and Northern Watch wayshrines.

    this is still sometimes happening, I'm on PC NA, I'm in Western Skyrim, Frozen Coast wayshrine, standing at it, using it, it shows as discovered on the map, but the zone summary still says 18/19 wayshrines. And I mean, it's sort of cosmetic in that the wayshrine IS unlocked, but still... (to clarify, mousing over the map key on the side where it has the progress bar next to the wayshrine icon, it pops up the list of them, and it shows Frozen Coast as greyed out.)
