acquired ability to levitate on Tattered Bridge in Arlathan

this is on the latest updated version of veilguard + a windows 10 laptop. steam's new background screen recording captured what happened, the video is too big to upload here so here's the link to an unlisted youtube video of what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f7d5w9TQDk

after beating the demon in arlathan for the Pinnacle of Its Kind quest (defeated at 1:36 of the video if you simply wanna skip to there, i just uploaded the fight itself too just in case maybe something i did in the fight caused the glitch later on?? idk. the clip begins right after i get off the zipline to the fight area), i was wandering around bc i saw a power source and was trynna **bleep** around trynna see if i could find a way to get to the power source

at 2:09 in the video, i notice "oh hey the railing on that broken bridge looks jumpable, lets try jumping over it" and it lets me jump. at 2:14 i notice an enemy in the distance and briefly contemplate jumping down to it but it would probably kill me if i did so i decide to try jumping over that broken wall at 2:18 to go down the ladder i saw earlier only to find out. i cannot jump at all?? and i assume "oh is this wall too tall to jump? weird, it doesnt Look too tall but the game has had plenty of other instances of not letting me jump over a clearly jumpable height so whatever" and take the long way around back over the broken bridge i originally hopped the rail over.

and then at 2:24 when it lets me just auto walk over the rail when i had on my end pressed the jump button i realize somethings wrong bc i had pressed the jump button but my rook simply walked over the rail, and then when im moving the camera around a lot right afterwards im spamming both the jump and the dash-forwards buttons. when i stop walking and just stand still at 2:27ish, i pressed R to try to drink a potion and also X to try to switch my weapon and nothing happened, and then i pressed ESC to open the menu and at least that worked.

after that i keep trynna jump and dash but can only walk, and decide to see if falling off the ledge at 2:37 would let me jump only to find out. i am now levitating

i decide to yolo it and see if i can interact with the power source i was originally trynna find a way to and find that i can levitate over to it, but i cannot interact with it or with anything else. when my rook says "i wonder what this is about" i decide to try walking into a wall to see if i still have collision bc up to that point i was still walking as if i did but hadn't actually checked (and forgot that i did in fact find out i had collision earlier at 2:18ish lol), and turns out yes i do in fact still have collision. i wander around some more and then after returning to the initial area i fought the demon, i check out if the map button still works and thankfully it does, and i try teleporting and thankfully that seemed to have fixed the bug (and after the recording ends i wander around some more without issues, but cut that out so the video isnt too long lol)

also for what its worth, i have it set so my combat spells AND my "heres how much health/potions you have left + remember to press X to switch weapons" part of the ui to BOTH disappear at the same time after a while of no combat....but during the time i was bugged, my combat spells disappeared but NOT the "heres how much health/potions + press X to switch weapons" part of the ui. idk if that's related to the bug that caused me to levitate, but u can see that after that bug disappeared, both parts of the ui appeared together when i dashed and then both disappeared together after a while

  • in fact upon rewatch. i just realized that around 2:09ish when i thought i jumped over the railing....1. right before that, thats the moment the "heres all your combat abilities" ui disappeared but NOT the "here's how much health/potions you have left", and 2. my rook didnt even jump?? i just thought they jumped bc i know for a fact i hit the jump button but in the video itself, they do not actually jump there. huh
