Save while on a horse, you will load in not drunk.
@jandraelune Thanks for sharing this! With the Yule event over, the drunk Eivor bug should no longer be present in general. Please make sure that you game is up to date. Outside of this, I have shared your workaround with the team who has this under investigation!
Just noticed something else. The Yuletide event is over and with it went the drunk Eivor.
The loading drunk makes the game unplayable for me and I've avoided drinking in game because of the drunk blur. Had to do it to find an Order member last time I sat down to play and now after desynchronization, loading old save that had 4hrs less playtime on it, fast travel, no matter what I load drunk. Only thing I found that helps it sometimes is cutscenes. Even then, if the cut scene is too short it reloads out of it in drunk Eivor mode. Super annoying. I've put the game down until a patch comes through.
drunken ivor issue seems resolved as of the end of the yule festival
Hello everyone,
This issue with Eivor spawning in drunk should now be resolved due to the Yule Festival having ended, which the bug was discovered to be tied to.
If you are still loading in drunk, or experiencing drunk effects in-game when not having drunk any ale or participated in a drinking game, please provide a video demonstrating this along with the platform you play on so that I can open an investigation separate to the one for the Yule Festival. It would be helpful to know if you have completed a quest where drinking is required recently as well, such as "Heavy is the Head" involving Ivarr mentioned by @WrightWayUp.
I'll mark this issue as resolved for the moment, as we do believe it to be fixed, but will absolutely reopen the investigation if it is needed! Thanks!
@ubi-woofer What about people who weren't able to play the Yule festival at all? What about them?
@ubi-woofer Still not patched even after 1.1.1 Update. If it helps it started AFTER Yule festival was confirmed completed in game for me soo...Like previously mentioned I had to drink to get a clue for an Order member and wound up staying drunk til the next cutscene. Can't recall the exact mission name but will update if I figure out which member I was hunting. Link below to unlisted youtube video showcasing loading into continued game drunk and loading a previous save from after Yule festival drunk. I don't believe the glitch exists solely in the Yule festival update.
Valhalla on PC:
EDIT: toggling armor from visible to invisible and vice versa seems to correct the issue every time. Other methods work on and off.
@ubi-woofer I downloaded the 1.1.1 patch today. The game still loaded in blurry, gray drunk mode after the download. Oddly enough, when I load into Vinland it doesn’t load into drunk mode, but it does back in the main map.
I’m using a Xbox One system.
Blurry load from title screen:
Seems the last patch fixed this, probably because the yule festival is over.
@ubi-woofer My issue is fixed now too it may have self fixed once the quest was completed.
@ubi-woofer I'm still having the issue. Loads in drunk but meditating resolves it until the next time I load in.
Problem: Persistent drunk mode. Platform: PS4. Version: 2.10. Storage: 146 GB/408 GB. First occurrence: Leaving Ravensthorpe tattoo/barber. Error: CE-34878-0. Level: 110. No Yule celebration. Raven view and Option/menu normal. Meditation and Fast travel does not correct. Talking to Merchant corrects issue until desync. Continue after desync and loading older manual saves restarts in drunk mode. Completed “Heavy is the Head”. Desynced in “The Devil Has All The Best Times”. Rebuilt PS4 database. Deleted and reinstalled game.

Still not working for me, spawn in drunk and can't fast travel.
I did not play this game during this " festival ".
Always drunk on launch.
2 months.
Now new patch --- new reasons not to play.
( turning on my DDR4 RGB lighting - requiring me to go into MSI CC to turn it off after I play )
@ubi-woofer
Please respond to my previous comment.
This is still an issue for me, I have tried all the other suggestions and Eivor still spawns in drunk.
It appears I have a trifecta of issues between this, not being able to fast travel and not being able to complete the clues and riddles quest.
@ubi-woofer Latest update still having this issue, get your [censored] together and fix it or at the very least be polite enough to acknowledge my repeated messages.
Hello there @FosterXboxGamer!
I apologise for the delayed response. I'm sorry to hear that you're still unable to fast travel, and are spawning into the world drunk.
Would you be able to send us a video that shows you spawning into the world drunk, and that you're unable to fast travel? We can then pass this along to the development team for further investigation.
For more information about the investigation into Clues and Riddles, please check out this megathread.
If anyone else is still spawning into the world drunk following TU 1.1.2, would you please be able to let us know within this thread, and to provide a video showing this happening in-game?
Thanks all!
