Unable to interact with Unique chests, Skill Point statues and Health Up statues

As title states, Unable to interact with Any of these things. Started after I acquired the Grey Warden Companion.
I have tried:
Reloading a previous save.
Restarting the game.
Reinstalling the game (Don't know why this would fix It, just foresaw a "Reinstall your game" comment)
Saving then Dying and Then loading that save.
None of this has worked. Quite frustrated that these very important mechanics are shut off from me.

    This also seems to affect Timelost Gateways, Such as the one in the quest An Academic Interest.

    The bugs actually resolved themselves today right after the main mission The Siege of Weisshaupt.  After all the cutscenes and talking to all the companions at the Lighthouse, I went to that gate from An Academic Interest and it was accessible. Then I tried the statues and unique chests and they started working again…hope it does the same for you

      Just as you said, this resolved after the Siege of Weisshaupt.  Thank you for the follow up!

      Unfortunately I did the siege of Weisshaupt as well as talked to all the companions in the lighthouse and the bug never fixed for me. I'm on Chapter 9 now and it's still broken. :(

    same exact problems:
    can't open / interact with the wall in the quest "An academic Interest"
    Can't open unique chests any more and some statues

    Ran into this same issue.  It's effected three unique chests so far, though I have been able to interact with the wolf statues and the increased health statues.

    Happening to me too. Cant interact with ALL large chests, hidden walls, wolve statues or health puzzles.

  • Having something similar, after touching and getting a skill point from the first Fen Harel statue, all others now (upon activation) shine and rotate but do not award me anything 

  • Same problem. Timelost Gateway and unique chests and statues no interaction at all.

    worked after doing main mission part 8, like it says here: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/dragon-age-the-veilguard-tech-issues-en/cant-interact-with-chests-or-statues-read-here/5007284

    Weve been deep diving on another  thread about this. Like everyone here, we cannot access big chests, all altars that aren’t done as well as the wall in An Academic Interest and some interactables. Still no solution. my guess was to progress world state and someone said it worked after major events in Weisshaupt, so im working towards that same quest. Seems like so far it triggers around the final two companion recruitment part of the story or unlocking a gate in the crossroads (a couple of us reported the bug noticed after opening Gate of the Lost Ages.) My checkpoint quests when I noticed this was Shades of Blight and Something Wrong, for reference. Some report it earlier.
