Can't Interact with Dagger Collectibles

Some screenshots just to clarify the issue.

In this shot from the inventory you can clearly see the ring of the lyrium dagger where it's supposed to be, but once I close this menu, in the game itself. . .

It's not there.  That means that in places like this. . .

You can see that the icon on the map indicates this hasn't been collected, but there are no lights and not interactions available.  I can't progress this or any other dagger-related collectibles.  I've heard from others that the issue can be fixed when you progress the world state, but most of these people also say the fix is only temporary.

I also have this bug, though it seems to be mostly for unique chests (or maybe i just havent noticed). not fully unplayable but also feels a lot like it since i dont really get good enough gear otherwise at this point in the game, so I'm pretty weak atp i feel like.

Heres my save file if a mod wants to take a look. I'm stood right by a chest

I can still use the dagger for companion abilities like the griffon attack, moving rocks, melting crystals etc.  But starting at about the 10 hour mark I stopped being able to open the special armor chests with tree glowing orbs and I can no longer interact with the fen'harel or evanuris alters/statues.  Then it fixed itself after the Siege of Weisshaupt.  That lasted for one level and now I'm back to not being able to interact with the special armor chests or alters/statues. This is a pretty major bug and from what I've seen it's one that A LOT of people have.  I know EA knows about it and yet neither patch has addressed it.  It pretty disappointing to finish a huge battle and find a chest you can't unlock over and over again.  It also is irritating the crap over the completionist in me. Other than that MAJOR issue I've no other performance problems. I'm waiting for the moment where this issue blocks me from progressing through the story completely. 

Agree, I have the same problem.  I can't open any of the "big" chests or any of the wolf statues, or anything that requires use of the dagger. All of those items are "greyed out" and don't glow or light up when I approach.  This seemed to happen after the patch, but I can't be 100% certain.

i got all the way to chapter 8 started out with the bud didnt realize it was a bug until i looked at how to unlock the special chest so i started over i just beat mythals retribution and glitch started happening honestly killed my mood i am also playing on nightmare mode amazing how ignorant they are to fixing a glitch im glad i didnt pay for the game or i would be asking for a refund honestly i think that i should still get paid by them all the time i put into this i was actually enjoying the game i put soo much time into it its depressing 

Thanks Doctor_Mothoid! I mentioned this in a previous post but to everyone else here. If you are experiencing the bug please also make a separate post. It hasn’t helped yet but I’m hoping if we all flood this forum with posts about this bug the devs will get word and get on it. It’s literally been two weeks since even a moderator has even commented about this issue

It just happed to me again.  I recently finished the game with about the last 25% bugged and could not open any of the big chests or interact with the statues, etc... so I really missed out on a LOT  of items.  I started a new game yesterday and kept saving about every 10 min just in case.  The same "no dagger" bug hit me around act 3 if I remember correctly.  Immediately I tried loading my  previous save, (which was a "good" save with the dagger working at the time that I made it), but somehow it also had become bugged and the dagger did not work any longer on that save.  So, I kept trying every save in reverse order working my way backward in the load a save list but they all had changed from "good" saves to "bad/bugged" saves.  I had to go back about 10+ saves before I got to where the dagger showed up again.  Fortunately I only lost about 1 hr+ of playing.  Now I'm saving about every 5 minutes just to try and be really thorough!  :)

Having the same exact issue. It's completely **bleep** pitiful. I have a slow 40-50 hour run going that I've been very thorough on and tried interacting with the statues in Arlathan Forest and none of them will glow or show any signs of interaction. Also; I'm having the issue of seeing the blade equipped but it's not there in the game world after unpausing. This is beyond unacceptable. I enjoy the game and have been an advocate for it's better parts; but I've never had a game breaking bug (in any game) to quite this degree. I'm not starting over.

EDIT: Seems like the patch yesterday completely fixed this bug! I can confirm the dagger is working on my previously bugged saved. (the dagger isn't on my character visually, but it's usable on anything the dagger can interact with; which I can live with). 

Just got this bug for the second time. I got about half way through the game, encountered the bug, and then started a new game. This time it happened even sooner! I really hope they fix this soon.
