Spectral Steed Whistle Bug?

[dcgames]

Something weird has been happening. The slot where my steed whistle is located now shows the whistle with a flask behind it. I have no idea when this happened, but now I can't use it to call my horse.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

[Timbermaw]

didn't he die and you need to use a flask charge to revive him?

[Mutuh]

Why you kill your goat man? Goat horse good man - don't be mean to it.

He didn't die but the slot with the ring is buggered. It shows the whistle with a flask behind it. I assume this is a bug? Anyway I can't call him because I can't use the whistle.

Haven't had that yet, but I once floated in the air when mounting, staying afloat for 25ish seconds, then dieing to "fall damage".

Edit: Isn't that icon you describe active in a no horse zone? Try going in a mine and back out and see if that fixes it.

Check this screenshot. Lower left corner where the whistle is there's also a flask behind it. wtf

Lol, I had that happen, too. I rode through a narrow passage and I got stuck and the horse disappeared but I was still hanging in midair. Eventually I died. It was quite hilarious.

have you tried removing everything from your tool bar? i use the pouch system on up to call my horse personally.

[dcgames]

That won't help because it doesn't get my whistle back - it's still buggered with that flask.

[jerfy]

Even if you switch it and put it in the pouch is bugged? (menu on the right when you hold Y on xbox controller)

[dcgames]

I validated the game then restarted it and the whistle is back. Must be some kind of bug.

[dcgames]

Crap, now it's buggered again. Grrr. What the heck. Even if I go into my equipment screen you can see it's still buggered with the flask.

If Torrent dies in certain places (I think some open world bosses, for example) you need to use a flask to revive him and the icon shows like that. I know you're saying that's not what happened but if it's not that, it's probably a bug tied to it.

Maybe try killing yourself? That would usually reset the need to use a flask in a non-bugged circumstance, might work here too maybe?
Edit: Also in the second screenshot you were out of flasks so it wouldn't have worked to use it even if you aren't bugged. Get to a grace and restore your flasks; if that doesn't work then yeah it's bugged, so try what I suggested before.

Do you have a spare red flask? This whistle-icon usually comes when your horsey dies and you need to spend a flask to call it again.

[dcgames]

I have had that happen in the game - if Torrent gets killed and I try to call him again I will get a box saying to use a flask to revive him, but this isn't the same thing. I'm not getting a box saying to revive him, it's just the icon messed up and I can't use the whistle at all.

But you're out of flasks in that screenshot, so it likely wouldn't bring up the message since you don't have a flask to use. Try the things I said in my earlier comment.
