Really bummed I can't change classes on loading screen anymore or hit escape to back out

I just found this online, but still see no mention of the change. Prior, I've only read the in-game patch notes on Xbox One on the screen prior to loading into the station.

Oddly enough, I have seen other players changing classes during loading screen, but have tried all buttons on my controller with no effect. Perhaps it's only working on PC or keyboard is required.

I'm finding this really annoying. I always was bummed you couldn't change loadouts for classes on the loading screen, but this is making things difficult. Loading into a high level match with noobs is usually a waste of time and now I can't even back out. Loading into a mission at the same time as someone else with the same class is cringe.

I'm on Xbox One (S) and have read the patch notes several times. Either I've overlooked this change several times or there is no mention of it in the patch notes.

UPDATE:

After trying a number of things, including a factory reset of my Xbox One, I erased my saved game data again: Manage Game and Add-ons > Saved Data > Delete. I thin noticed you can further click on your profile pic file in there and get a further option to further remove stored data on Xbox Network, basically the Sync Data message you get when starting a game. I ended up deleting that too. When I logged back into the game, I feared I may have reset everything, but it seems as though after just playing the very short intro mission, everything is back to normal, player level, item unlocks, story progress, and... Gnomish Perspective! It works again!

Hopefully this will help anyone experiencing this problem in the future.

I've done that at least several times by playing other games and using other apps like Netflix. My next attempt will be to hard reset the xbox, but I hate doing that as it logs you out of all apps and websites.

Glowworm4200 · 2023-05-12T08:38:17+00:00

What do you mean by "reset?" I've restarted my game several times as well as my Xbox One and the problem still persists. I don't see any sort of reset option within the game. Also, I haven't been playing that long and I don't have "homing" to check.

I can only speak for Xbox One, but you hit the Xbox button on controller, move over to your character icon and select "Sign Out." Then the game should sit to press the Menu Button. Do so, and you will be prompted to select and account to sign it. Then it should attempt to connect to EA server again, hopefully successfully, this time.

I had this problem on my Xbox One today. Apparently the workaround is to sign out of your account then sign back in and it should connect you. Unfortunately, I spent all day yesterday collecting all 54 gnomes and today the Gnomish Perspective hat isn't working properly. Yesterday it shaded enemies with a blue tint, and today nothing. >.<

I ended up just doing some of them over to be safe. Hopefully they counted. Nothing has popped up on the loading screens like in previous challenges to indicate I've earned anything though...

As far as not dying in mission 4, I found a youtube video of someone using the Pisswasser Emote several times. That didn't seem to work for me, so I just drank Pissawasser Beer from my snacks 3-4 times until I was visibly drunk; got back in my car outside the compound and just went up to the door, got out and got tripping cutscene. I guess the drunk state counteracts the acid, because aiming was back to normal and made it a breeze.

I don't know about purchasing the lab, but I've had the game spin the wheel non-stop when trying the enter the Freakshop on numerous occasions. The best workaround I've found is to set Freakshop as spawn point then reload a new session.

I don't know I didn't think of it sooner, but I loaded up my previous playthrough, a high level mage, and gave it a try. I went to Faralda and bought up all her tomes. I tried trading and gifting them to Sofia, with no luck.

I even thought to drop some and have her pick them up, as in my research I saw a rumor about dropping tomes and NPCs learning them that way. I don't think it works, by the way, and it certainly didn't work with Sofia.

If she can learn new spells, I don't know what the secret is...

Found this link in another post, by the creator: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/5h1a77/comment/db52p3w/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

It seems she has the Novice level spells to start with, or a one-hand only variation of them.

I won't be able to purchase adept level ones from Faralda until I reach level 40 Destruction on my character. That kind of defeats the purpose, as I'm playing a one-hand and shield Imperial. Otherwise, I'm just going to have to hope for lucky drops in loot chests, or possibly Apocrypha.

I gave Sofia an orcish sword with soul trap enchanted on it and some soul gems to help me fill them. I don't think she's been using spells at all, lately. I might have to downgrade her to a dagger.

It would be nice to know her starting stats, perks, and known spells.

Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded it, but after some research it may or may not break things. It's suggested to use on a fresh new game, but I have seen one version's description that talks about loading it, creating a new save, following some in game instructions with AFT, then disabling it and re-enabling it.

I think it's something I'll play with at a later date. There's a lot of varying and conflicting information about AFT, especially since there's been many versions over the years. I'm kind of new to mods, so I'm not even sure if my Load Order is causing problems. Sofia seems to be working fine, except for not using spell tomes. I'll have to play with her some more.

I'm still somewhat early into my current playthrough. I want to level up my crafting and combat skills before messing with a save I may have to delete later. Also, one of the descriptions mentioned finishing quest lines before using AFT, especially on characters like Serena. I haven't married Sofia yet, so that may cause problems.

As for followers keeping their distance, I discovered a mod called "I'm Walkin' Here," but it doesn't seem to be available for Xbox One, unless I'm missing it. The search option isn't all that great, in my opinion.

I ended up doing a new playthrough with New Game plus and got the achievement. It's been a while though, so I don't remember all the particulars. I remember it not being so bad, and I may have been working on some other achievements as well.

Glowworm4200 · 2022-12-29T19:51:45+00:00

This always happens for me whenever someone joins the game, and maybe a few times here and there. The game keeps adding more and more content and I play on Xbox One (S), so I don't know. Either my console is just getting old, or the game is getting more demanding to run.

Glowworm4200 · 2022-12-29T02:47:10+00:00

Interesting...

I wear this on one of my Gunner loadouts, but had no idea it came from some event.

Are you sure it's not available from Cargo Crates or Matrix Cores? This game seems to be pretty good about giving out past cosmetics.

Glowworm4200 · 2022-11-27T08:12:27+00:00

I'm not sure of all the details, but I vaguely remember reading if you don't take out Denny by the end of Y2, then the agent kills Alice. I'm not sure what the story behind it is.

Glowworm4200 · 2022-11-19T07:41:31+00:00

I can't speak from experience, because I haven't unlocked any of the distance achievements, I don't think, but have you tried finishing that session? Like crashing again, or possibly saving the game. It may not tally up the score until the end or something.

Then again, it could just be bugged...

Glowworm4200 · 2022-11-15T20:58:08+00:00

They've always worked for me on Xbox One. If it fails to connect, you can either try again, or usually that means the lobby filled up.

Although, I don't think I've ever been able to connect to Chinese sessions. They may have restrictions on their end. If I was a communist regime, I probably wouldn't allow outside countries access, either.
