Can't Change Sign?!

[XII PYRO IIX]

Okay so basically I'm on the quest Wandering in the Dark and I can't switch from the Quen sign to the Igni sign. When I change to anything, nothing happens and it stays on Quen. Then when I go back to change it again, it still shows that it's on Quen even though I've tried selecting everything else. What do I do here? Is this a bug?

Have you tired using the middle mouse wheel?

I play with a controller. Just switched to KB+M and tried scrolling and nothing happens. Is that how you switch on mouse? Idk what to do as I'm on a mission that requires me to switch to Igni so I can destoy the monster nest. JFC

I have the same problem. On a different mission though.

Same issue, except I can use all of them except Axii (cannot switch to Axii)

Had to reload like 10 saves back to find one that worked. So pissed.

I had the same exact issue myself, couldn't switch to any signs but was on a different quest (forgot the name, but it's about lifting the curse in the Fyke Isle). The only way I fixed it is by reloading a prior save file... Luckily, I save frequently.

Hi, just encountered this problem, Google'd and found this thread. Was stuck on Quen.

Think it has something to do with Roach locking your sign to Axii and a bug dismounting prevents you from changing your sign (i.e. the game still thinks you're mounted).

Anyway, try mounting roach to force back to Axii and then dismounting to and changing your sign , worked for me.

Anyway, hope this helps!

I've been getting consistently when I load into skellige, with whatever skill I was using when I was forced into the crash scene and getting onto roach proves not to change this.
Its frustrating- whist I'm sure I could complete this without axii, I'd rather not. Its my favourite, after the flamethrower ignis effect

doesn't know how to cast his magic and that makes me sad.


Edit: went to the source of the issue and didn't change signs Just before the cutscene the issue occors in. Fixed it. Hope this helps, all! I'll be back if it fails again...

i got it when i was in the water and tried to change signs, i just went back in the water and came out, fixed it

[Laurykat]

I got the same issue and for me fixing it was as simple as going into the water and back out. For some reason the game thought I was still in the water and even though all signs showed up as available I was stuck on Quen till I took a quick bath to allow the game to notice that I actually got out of the water.

So just to reiterate, going into any body of water (enough to make Geralt have to swim) and back out solved the problem for me. I hope it helps others.

I think I'm suffering a similar bug. I can change signs but can't cast them at all.

Worked for me. You rock. Thanks a ton.

Funny thing, a complete play through and I never stumbled on this. Now second time around I did.

I was in water and went up, couldn't change sign, so google landed me here.
"Ah, fix it by getting on Roach".

Sure seemed to fix it, at first. Ended up with being able to select all signs but one. Using scroll wheel would make it come to a stop, had to change direction to get the other signs.

Jump off Roach and into water, then back up on dry land and everything works again.

They really should get a grip on those flags^^
