Good afternoon,
Since downloading the new patch I am unable to use the explosive corpse skill. When I press 'F' nothing happens. I tried resetting the skill in the skill tree to no avail.
After the 1.2.2 update(PC), Eivor's position on the main map is not displayed, and I cannot set poison gas traps on fallen enemies (before, long holding down the F key activated them, of course)
@polkus73 Can you please try verifying the game files then launch the game and try again.
If the issue persists can you provide a video that shows Eivor's position no longer appears on the map and that you have the explosive corpse skill activated in the skill tree and that it is not working when stood next to a corpse.
Played this game a since release on and off until around January. I came back to it in June to find that for some reason I cant crouch when my crouch command is set to R1 (ps4). This is what I've used the whole time playing the game until now as for me is the most fluid mapping for the command. For other things like alternate shot, using R1 is fine. However, its only when I set the specific command of crouch/drop down/dive to the specific button mapping of R1 that it just won't work at all. There is the conflict alert, but that was always there before and never proved to be an issue in game, and I can set it as another button that also creates a conflict and it works fine (even the touchpad which brings up the world map, Eivor will be crouching when I come back out!). For the moment I have changed it to L3 which is okay, but i'd much prefer my old control scheme, so if anyone has any tips or fixes then it would be much appreciated. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the game with no luck. I'd prefer not to begin a new save as im like 56 hours into the game.
@darkninja0405 @Tolkyyn @Polkus73 @rd144 I have merged all of your posts with this mega thread we have created for this issue.
The issue has been reported and it is being investigated. In the meantime there is a workaround that you can use:
- Reset schemes to default
- Then reassign the interaction button with another one that is not used for any other direct action
@maninblack225 This issue is being investigated, in the meantime the only workaround is what was mentioned above.
@takingcactus Same issue for me. I wouldn't actually mind too much using like L3 as crouch if it was just crouch, but as its also drop down and dive it is quite janky to use, as I use R2 to parkour and swim up etc.
Hello Vikings,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Can you please confirm if you're using custom controls by any chance? If so, have you tried switching them to default in order to check if the issue persists?
If you're still experiencing this, can I kindly ask you to provide us with a short video of this occurring?
Many thanks and if you have any additional questions, please let us know.
@ubi-mark Here's a video. I tried several times to use the ability by pressing the F key. I also carried a corpse and looted another so you can see that those functions are working. Whenever I press the F key, the prompt just drops out.
@ubi-mark Ah ha! I tried setting a custom control for Secondary Interactions and that worked. Here's a video. So, it seems that the problem is with the default setting for Secondary Interactions. That explains why I also could not sabotage springalds.
Just a little workaround update for all those PS4 players like me, that prefer the Odyssey and Origins style control setup.
I've just managed to get Valhalla working by assigning primary interaction from X to L3 instead. Can't see any major conflict issue yet (says conflict with secondary interaction - but I don't think I've ever had the need for it so far )
At least it's now playable until Ubisoft patch the custom controller issue, without reverting totally to default controller again.
Awesome! Thank you for that update, @klbente! I am happy to see that you were able to access these abilities again with this workaround. @viper197542 would you be able to attempt these steps as well and let me know if it resolves this issue for you?
Playing on series x. Since the addition of the mastery quests, the custom control scheme I use is not working. For example i have RB binded to crouch. This does not work anymore. Also interact does not work when binded to the A button. I have spoken to several people about this and it seems to be an issue on the PlayStation as well. I am sick of these bugs. I can’t even play the game the way I want to anymore and I demand a refund.
Hello @Killbot022,
Sorry to hear about your experience.
I reported this issue to the development team. After checking the status for it, I can see that this issue will be resolved with a future update. Once the resolution is deployed, we are going to let everyone know through the patch notes.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this and if you have any additional questions, please let us know.
PS: I merged your thread with our megathread for better visibility
