Cant Interact with chests or statues? Read here

IT FIXED ITSELF FOR ME!

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

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

 

AFTER THIS long cutscene you talk with everyone in the lighthouse and gain access to a special part of the game. I then went to do one of the companion quests and one of my old unique boxes was glowing so i went back to a lot of my maps and all my statues, chests and walls were fixed!

let me know if this works for any of you!

 

THANK GOD!

      Hi. 

      I've been able to partially repro this issue by completing objectives for inactive quests. Tested this with the quest "The Warden's Vault" in Rivain Coast

      The first attempt was without the quest being active from start to finish, and the unique chest couldn't be opened. 

      The second attempt was completing the quest half-inactive and half-active. The chest couldn't be opened. 

      The third attempt was with the quest active from start to finish as soon as the new quest prompt appeared. The chest was opened successfully. 

      THIS ISSUE IS A PROGRESSION BLOCKER for other quests, such as "Gate of Lost Ages" where you must interact with a statue to reveal a hidden path to a boss monster. This quest itself is necessary to complete another longer quest "Regrets of the Dread Wolf" which cannot be completed as a result. 

      I hope this helps.

    It fixed itself for me after the siege too, but then it came back the next day. 

  • Mine bugged with the dagger no longer being visible or working on the chests or wolf statues for the last 25% of the game or so.  I just started a new save and it happed again around act 3 if I remember correctly.  I tried loading a recent save that was good with the dagger working but it had become bad and the dagger was now missing.  I had to go back approximately 10 saves and lost about 1+ hr of playing to get to a save where the dagger was working.  Ughhh.  So, now I'm saving about every 5 minutes.

    Hey Everyone,

    Bioware has released the latest patch 3 for PC and Console. You can read more details in our post: Dragon Age™: The Veilguard Patch 3 (PC/Console)

    • Fixed instances where Rook forgot they already had the lyrium dagger and could not interact with treasure chests and altars.

    Once you've had a moment to download it, can you confirm if this is still happening?
