Secret switches do not show up

[Gracey Face]

Could anyone tell me where the secret switch to open the hidden room in the temple of woedica (never far from the queen) is? For some reason none of the switches to open hidden rooms are showing up as highlighted for me. My companions are letting out barks as if they've spotted them but they just don't show up.

You would be late to notice a problem with hidden switches/levers. Have those worked for you before in the game, such as in the prologue dungeon, or in Gilded Vale, the Temple of Eothas and further one. Defiance Bay is Act 2 already, so problems with hidden things should have come up before.

Anyway, here is a walkthrough since you are vague about where exactly you are. Perhaps you refer to the pressure plate at the very beginning of the temple, just north of the stairs?

Wasn't vague, there's only one secret switch in the temple of woedica. :P Though thank you for the link, it was the pressure plate.

I am on the EGS version, since it had free DLC, and no secret switch has shown up so far. I can normally find them by moving the cursor around on the screen, since it's normally something visible like a sconce or whatever, but couldn't with this one because I didn't think to check for pressure plates.

EGS version seems to be broken in some way. But from asking this question I found out that if you have only just started the game up the switches WILL appear (though not properly, only outline and not highlight), so I am wondering why they don't if the game has been running for a while.

This isn't a problem on the steam version at all, which makes me wonder why the EGS version is effected.

Well, that secret tomb you refer to is outside the Temple of Woedica, It is part of the catacombs, no matter whether it's downstairs. The temple area starts behind the first gate and its guard.

I'm not familiar with the patch status in other game shops. Hopefully they are at v3.07:

I see what you mean. Game labels that whole map/area Temple of Woedica so I just used that.

Same problem at exact same in-game location on Steam Deck.

Also had that same problem on the hidden switch in Endless Paths of Od Nua Level 1 that lets you circumvent the locked door leading to Maerwald.

Your solution worked. Save, completely exit the game, restart the game, reload the save, and the hidden switch/hidden pressure plate is outlined.

I wonder what causes it. Just the game having been open for a little while doesn't seem like something that should cause graphical errors.
