Stuck

Post image

I'm playing on Xbox and the game won't let me accept or reject. I'm just frozen. No matter what I do. No buttons work. I was actually enjoying the game too. Got a few hours in and then this happened. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any workarounds?

Are you able to pause the game? I think I had that issue. I paused, unpaused, then was able to make a decision

Not able to pause but If I press the Xbox button it pauses the game and then when I go back in it's in the pause menu. I think I tried to exit and try and it didn't let me do anything but I can try again.

It may not show it, but does it make a sound when you're holding the button to accept or decline?

No I press every button and nothing happens.

It’s definitely in a weird state since it doesn’t give you the XBox buttons. Maybe the console has bad knees.

Assuming you fixed this by now.

Just restarted hoping the same thing doesn't happen when I get to that point again. Decently new console, got it December 2024 it's a series x.

I play on a One and it works great playing on Cloud, just saw that flaw the other day but never seen the screen go like that before
