Can't interact with mount to pet/feed

[Fangy]

Has anyone else experienced this? I know you can only do it x times per day until the timer icon shows up, but this a new day and my mouth wants to be pet, but I don't have any prompt to interact with it and pressing e doesn't do anything.

You can only do it when it sitting at hit's roost. Then it's a bit tricky you have to be just the right angle and distance.

Okay, I got it working now!

I rarely get it to work. Any tips? I hit the correct button as soon as the prompt shows up, but that doesn't seem to help. I even exit and start the game again, doesn't help. Walking away, walking back up, slightly to the right, to the left, etc. Nothing seems to help. Tried to change to the field of view, didn't help either. I've managed to interact two times now, but it took around 10 minutes each time and several tries and re-opening the game and character repositioning. Gets a bit tiring tbh.

Are you on a keyboard? It's possible it works better on controller if you have one, since controller allows finer movements. I use controller and it was difficult to get the right position but not impossible. By the time I was into the game deeply it was easier since I was used to it. It's really the same mechanic as taming but the taming seems easier because you're not standing on a branch while trying to get the right position. You need the right distance and angle. I think a big part of the problem at first for me was getting too close.

Thank you, I might try the controller. I think I also found the issue, the game shows the prompt again on the same day, and that seems to be when I can't interact with the mount (again). If the prompt comes up on a brand new day, with no interaction before, it works out fine, but if the prompt comes on the same day I've already pet and feed, it won't work. Probably a bug if we're not meant to do it twice on the same day. But still, thank you for your reply, and I think I'll try the controller at one point anyway, wanna see if the game plays nicer with that instead of keyboard/mouse.

You should be able to do it 3 times then have to wait for next day, just like taming. It's literally the same mechanic but with different results over time.
