Dragon Age: The Veilguard Unique Chests bugged out and unable to be opened.

Since the update has anyone else been experiencing issues opening unique chests? All prompts for opening have disappeared for me. I included an image, showing me standing at the chest with no action ...

IT FIXED ITSELF FOR ME!

Not to spoil to much or hopefully anything I had to beat Part 8/Chapter 8

This is the chapter where you join the wardens and fight one of the gods/archdemons.

AFTER THIS long cutscene you talk with everyone in the lighthouse and gain access to a special part of their skill trees. I then went to do one of their quests with them and one of my old unique boxes was glowing as were all my statues and walls!!

THANK GOD!

It appears to be intermittent. It started working again last night for me to, but now its not working again. Can someone from EA let us know if this is a bug or related to story progress. Bc after chapter 8 it was working but now its not again. Are companion's ranks tied to story progression? Thus if you rank it prematurely in the story, that unique chests in companion quests stay locked until the story reaches the point the companion relationship should be at?

    Hi @mrbizk, To confirm is it any Unique chest this happens with or only certain ones?

      It can be also with the Enuvaris and Fenharel Statues, they become interactable.

        @mrbizk Are you able to interact with Evanuris and Fenharel statues (as well as those walls with the blue gem on them, such as the one in the Gaspin Manor quest) now, somehow? I still can't interact with those, nor any unique chests (Timelost horde or otherwise).

        Further, I just came across this Steam thread with folks experiencing the same thing. cc: @EA_Illium 

        Someone made the point that the dagger is missing from their hip once the bug presents, and sure enough I just noticed the loop on my right side (part of the dagger) is missing. I can see it when in the character screen (changing chest armor in the character screen shows the loop again), though it still doesn't show in actual gameplay.

        It's like the game thinks I don't have the dagger anymore?

        I consider this at least partially game-breaking, as there are side-quests I cannot complete while this bug persists.

      For me, it seemed Unique only.

        I started a new game this morning and I can't interact with the statues and chests in the crossroads
