Horse call doesn't work??!?!!?

[devil dick]

For some reason I can't call my horse anymore. I can find my horse on the map but can't call it. Anybody got any solution to this?

In some areas you cannot call your horse, and you will get a message saying as much.

However, the horse call does seem to stop working (you press it, he whistles, and nothing happens).

Whenever this has happened to me (completed three play throughs, had this issue maybe a dozen times) i just did a quick save, loaded that save, moved away from any bridges, cliffs, or caves and water (basically move away from impassable terrain that the horse cant spawn on) and Roach popped right up with the first whistle.

the only areas horse call doesn't work is in caves, and that will have a text popping up every time you attempt to call your horse that tells you exactly that. Any area which doesn't have that text pop up, is just the horse bugging out. When the horse isn't appearing when you call it, and that "can't call yo horse here, mate" text isn't popping up. Then you just gotta spam [X] till it arrives.

safe game, exit, load.

one little island on skellige i couldn't call my horse either, the one you fight the giant

Yeah, had that problem several times now, you press x and nothing happens, no whistle, no pop up message "can't do that now", nothing. Always went away after reloading the game.

I still can't seem to call my horse. Whenever I try to call him there's no whistle or anything. I tried the quicksave and reloaded, still nothing.

Usually reloading a quicksave will fix it, sometimes fast traveling will fix it, but sometimes I have to save and exit the game to desktop and then load it up again for it to work.

Really bothering the hell out of me since it's persisted through several patches.

Save game, exit and reload is the fix
