Unable to do anything after exiting the Mako

Hi,


I've been loving this game and so far the only issues I've had in about 20 hours of gameplay is this one:

Occasionally, on planets when you exit the Mako to scan a probe or minerals the interaction button doesn't respond, so you cannot scan anything or return to the Mako. You also cannot draw your weapon, or bring up the weapon/ability wheel. This has happened in four different planets, but I didn't write the names of them down, unfortunately. 

The only fix I've found is to save the game (the only option that you can use) and exit to the main screen and then reload.

I'm on PC, but I've got friends on both consoles with the same issue - never the same planet.

  • Do a quick save and load, no need to exit game. Had the problem on Luna with the CCCP probe. save and reload fixed it.

    We have seen some reports of people getting stuck in a variety of locations like this after leaving the Mako, thanks for the reports!

    This is something we've passed along to be looked into further, but saving and reloading does help in most cases in the meantime as Wiz13688 mentioned.

  • @EA_Mako It does, but in some cases saving is disabled, so you have to re-do an event if you step out to pick up a lockbox, etc. Glad this is being reported, however.
  • I've had to save, exit to main screen and reload every time; quick save doesn't fix the issue for me at all.
