Can't draw from Places of Power.

[Tony Baloney]

This problem came about after the last patch.
Everytime I try to draw from a new place of power and gain an ability point, it doesn't work. I hold down the E button and wait, but nothing happens. I don't get the ability point, and I don't get the buff.

Anyone else having this problem, or know a fix? I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks!

plug out your keyboard cable and then plug in another USB port. that is it. it will work it out.

Just hold E till you get a notification.

doesn´t work (should work like this but doesn´t in 95% of the time)

To draw from a place of power, you need to have the relevant Sign equipped. So for example, to draw from a yellow PoP, you need to equip Quen. Red: Igni, etc. So that is their game mechanic.

doesn´t work and isn´t true, don´t know why the op marked this as answer

I have the same problem as well. But I accidentally found something that works; when you press E and geralt starts to kneel, move the mouse (camera) and position it so that you're looking behind (so essentially looking at geralt's face if he isn't kneeling). For some reason it always triggers the skill point when just straight up pressing E doesnt

wow, this actually works!!
in nearly all cases it only worked for me if i jumped up and stand on the place of power, which wasn´t always possible if something was above it. your trick with facing the camera away from the place of power worked! now i can get all the skill points <3

Eight years later I had the same problem, none of the solutions proposed here worked, then I noticed I was carrying too much weight, so I dropped something until the red icon disappeared and then I was able to draw power!

I recommend getting rid of weight limit by using a mod , it saves a lot of time and anoying going back and forth.

9 years later and apparently this is still true. I have W3EE Redux mod installed but that cannot be it. Couldnt get the damn place of power to work until moving the camera like you described. Thanks!

That is just flatout wrong. I does not matter at all what sign you have equipped. Why would you say such nonsense?

its a bit wonky most of th etimes first press of e does little but make him kneel you need to release it and thne hold it down again most of the time
