Saddle up ability gone

[Vizzamir]

I've been having Wuljif use Bismuth as a mount, and suddenly after resting the "saddle up" ability is gone from his ability bar. I've unequipped the statuette, rested, and resummoned Bismuth, but the ability is still gone. Does anyone know if there's away to fix it?

[viehweger]

Same here. I wonder if has something to do with the last patch. Quite irritating.

Didn't happen to my Bismuth character, but it did happen for my Azata/Aviu. After completing, Where's My Dragon, the saddle up icon is missing. Hoping that gaining mythic rank 6 will resolve this (or, presuming it's a bug, it gets fixed in a new patch).

Console version on PS5, similar bug. After transferring Bismuth from Woljif to Greybor then back to Woljif again, "Saddle up" icon remains grayed out no matter what I do. I've read about similar issues elsewhere but for god's sake it's the Enhanced Edition...

Hmm just happened to me too...

Ok I found a temporary fix for PC users. Obviously a dev fix is needed, till then however.

For some reason the Mount Target ability isn't being cleared from the character using Bismark. So after a death/resummon etc the Mount icon stays darkened and won't work.

I used the Arcemi Pathfinder editor to remove Mount Target from Daeran, (in the Facts tab) then upon using Bismark again afterwards it adde the Mount Target ability and worked normally. I suspect the error will recur.

Can probably be done using Toybox too.

This bug just happened in my game. I have Toybox, how do I get the ability to show up in the hotbar again?

It has been suggested Bismuth bugs out if you ride him into the dream sequence in Areelu's Lab. After that I was not able to mount him. Some people say respeccing the bugged companion should fix it, but obviously this is not always feasible.

It bugs out in more than these places, for example it bugged out for my Camelia in colphyr, or Aivu for my MC in midnight fane and on the market, it bugs out in many more places, I don't think I ever had a playthrough without it bugging out at some point and almost all of my playthroughs were set apart by months at least from each other.

Worst part is that this bug is there forever and it is often encountered, but Owlcat doesn't touch it in any patches, even though it is an easy fix and on top of that, ability does not come back on level up, even though it does show on level up screen, I don't know if respeccing works, though I doubt, but then there is the fact that You cannot turn respecc on without changing difficulty to custom, which prevents You from getting some achievements.

You could always try the auto mount mod, it even has a force mount key.

For my Aru, it happened in the Lady of the Sun's place. I forgot how's it called.

I found a solution to my problems. I loaded my bugged save file and created a new save file, then in the new save I used the Toybox mod to respec Aru without really changing anything. After I finished I summoned Bismuth and the Saddle Up ability showed up where it should. Then I reloaded my original save file, summoned Bismuth and the ability showed up, and all a had to do was drag the ability back to the hotbar.
