Platform - Xbox 1
AC Valhalla - Digital download (Not disk)

Issue - After the update installed I lost the ability to interact with anything. I press the interact button and nothing happens. This happens everywhere. Unable to do new missions, unable to speak to anybody, unable to do side missions in Ireland. All do to not being able to interact. How do I fix this. I have restarted my Xbox several times. Is there a way to uninstall the update and re-install it?

@jmalkin177 Assassin's Creed on Twitter replied to me and said that they are aware .. as workaround you can map from R1 to it's default circle button on PlayStation ..

Hopefully they release the fix as soon as possible .. I have about 225 hours crouching with R1 + 2 years with AC Odyssey same layout , it's hard to adjust to other buttons ..

Try to revert back to default control scheme (default controller settings)

I saw this tip on Reddit (Non Official Valhalla) :

Can confirm going back to default control scheme works.

Good luck

@azullfr Thanks! Will try when I get home and report back! I may not be the only person with this issue. I changed my button mapping to match Odyssey as close as possible as I went from it to Valhalla with no downtime. Didn't like Valhallas default button mapping.

Sure you are not alone

As Ubi is now aware of this issue they should make a fix, but I have no idea when they will

Good Game to you

@black_widow9 Thanks for looking into this matter!

Same issue here on the PS5. As soon as Patch 1.2.2 was installed, my custom control scheme which is the same as the "alternate" controls in Origins and Odyssey is now broken. "X" no longer works to pick up items/loot items. I can no longer interact with items using "X" either. How is it Ubisoft ALWAYS breaks something with their patches? Last time is was the sound of your horse's hoofs. That took MONTHS to fix. Do you now QA your patches? Do you not figure that there are MANY people who can't stand the "Souls-like" controls and prefer the more classic controls! Why can't you add an "alternate" control scheme similar to Origins? Hopefully this won't take months to fix like the horse sound issue. Where as the horse sound issue was only a PS5 problem, I'm having the issue with the custom control scheme on both PS5 and PC.I should have learned my lesson to never install a patch form Ubisoft day one. Wait to see the reported bugs with said patch first.

Same here, haven't played in a long time and came back right now and I cannot crouch. I also have it set to R1. I tried toggle/hold...changing buttons, default. I can do everything, except crouch.

Same here on Xbox Series X, Can't crouch with RB, but can dive and dropdown. The only workaround is to bind it to A.

Hello,

If you haven't seen or tried these already, we have two workarounds until this is resolved.

• Reset controller schemes to default.
• Reassign the interaction button with another one that is not used for any other direct action.

Again, thanks for your patience as we address this.

@black_widow9 I don't know if this will help your investigation, but if it does I thought I'd share that the crouch on R1/RB works when combining the action with a dodge/roll on O/B. So do a dodge and press crouch and Eivor will crouch (or stand if she was crouching) after rolling.

@dctubbs Hey for the problem with interactions, try putting your assassination on the same button as light attack and that might fix it. I recommend looking at the default controllers and looking at/writing down button commands that are in common because often those interactions matter when it comes to conflicts.

@takingcactus
Exact same problem here on the standard xbox one version. Having played 100+ hours, trying to get used to the drop down/crouch/dive button being anything but RB is tedious and frustrating. Hope there will be a hotfix for this as soon as possible.

Resetting the controller scheme was the first thing I did after noticing that bug. Unfortunately it didn't help.
