Move around a bit or cycle interact options, if your using controller its left or right on the d-pad.....unsure what K&M is for it.

you should be able to cycle through options by pressing left and right on the d-pad while standing near two interactables, i believe

I'm not sure about the message deletion.

But in terms of interacting with a Grace or other important item, there should be a UI prompt for "Switch Action" just below the "Interact" prompt. This will let you toggle to the Grace / lever / item on the ground.

Yeah i know that theres a button for switching action but not works prnt.sc/j2eoliHC3dS5

go offline, dont worry you will spawn the exact same place

I do wonder why they didn't feel like giving players option to hide all/certain messages.

I almost met my death since somebody felt like writing "LADDER" right next to ladder, rendering said item near unusable. Luckily I found some angle from where I could still climb up - and no, there was no "switch action" function available.

Grace area is bigger than you imagine, just walk away of the message and you will find the grace interaction message a litle far than above it. Also this is why i asked for devs create a limit to write messages on boss doors or interaction items. But... its a from Software game, bugs and all of this things is already expected.

actions take priority over messages. don't panic spam the button; just hit it when you reach the ladder.


(unless they suddenly added a new bug with the patch, because this has been the case since release so far)

I hate how the messages take priority sometimes like how you can't switch weapons if you're standing too close to multiple messages/bloodstains

There was powerful foe down there with me, so careful approach wasn't exactly most available option.

But yes, I spent good while looking at the ladder. From near every single angle, message on ground took priority over the "climb".

This. Messages should never take priority over an actionable item in the world. Even if you encounter the message first, then move into range of the ladder/chest/grace/whatever, that should move to the top of the stack, and then you can press the button to cycle back to the message if you want.
There will never, ever, be a situation where a player approaches one of the aforementioned items, and wants to interact with the message before interacting with the item.
Please fix this.

in some case, the switch button doesnt appear at all. So yeah ... FROMSOFT fix your game just put a function() that disable any message near interactable object 10 meters from it.

You have to press the d-pad left/right when the prompt is at the bottom of the screen, before interacting with the message. You can not scroll between Y/Triangle actions using the d-pad while the players message is visible on screen.

I agree though it is really counter-intuitive that messages take priority over actions that you may need to do quickly and could save your life.

[Drukaris]

yeah happens sometimes - you have to go offline
