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 ...

@FoxwolfmoonI don't mind* some spoilers if it gets me playing the game again lol. What you laid out makes sense, I'll def give it a shot later. Thanks for clarifying! - Knowing that the Altars don't change anything except for the +1 skill point & +Health helps me a lot. I figured those would be needed for the "best" ending.

Hope your test before Weisshaupt works out!

@Foxwolfmoon I guess one last question on that may be spoilery: - Is losing the Dagger and getting it back a story related thing? - Or is it purely a bug triggered by certain quests that you know of?

    Purely a bug

    @Darkwing_Duckie It is definitely purely a bug. I wondered the same thing and was like "Did I miss it?" but no, it's not meant to be happening. Especially it happens at random with no prompt and happens again randomly with no warning based on random things people do.

      @FoxwolfmoonThanks for the update! - I have a 65 hour playthrough - (But I'm guilty of leaving the game running on multiple occasions for hours on end lol.) - I ended up loading up a 53 hour save and had the dagger. I went right to Arlathan to do the Train A Griffon side quest. - (which is where I noticed it was gone before & posted here; except this time I could actually interact with all the Altars). I kept saving and reloading each time I used it and plan to be overly cautious moving forward in case the dagger disappears again. - I'd rather not have to be so cautious on using the Dagger and saving non-stop. At least I found a point to load where I still have it.

      Thanks for your updates though. Hopefully Bioware/EA get this patched soon.

        @Darkwing_Duckie Lol! I'm also sitting around 69 hours but I also left mine up and running several times without actually doing anything, so I hear ya. But yeah. From now on, I'm saving frequently and I'm checking Rook's hip for his loop as often as I check my wallet and phone if I'm out and about, haha! I wish you luck and I hope they fix it soon too. It's kinda insane such a game breaking bug hasn't been addressed even if it's seemingly only effecting a small number of people.

        I did test my theory (you may see my post above) and it seemingly has worked, but I don't know if it'll stay fixed so... -fingers crossed-

        I've heard some people say once it happens once, it effects the whole save file, but I'm hoping not...
