Fix for not being able to interact with blacksmith?

Every single time I want to repair my gear and mosey off to the blacksmith I am unable to interact with him. What I have been doing to resolve the issue is every time I get to a blacksmith I have to save, quit, and reopen the game, which 100% of the time will allow me to interact with him, but is pretty annoying to have to do. Similarly, I have had (much fewer) instances where I wasn't able to dive under water until I closed and restarted the game.

I tried meditating but that didn't seem to have any effect. Is there a better solution or do I have to restart my game every time I run into this issue?

Not that I know of, fortunately, the dive bug is rather rare, more annoying is when the space don't work, your in the clear no enemy's, yet every time u try to jump u get the message "You cant do that now"...

just because I have encountered the bug, namely with the blacksmith in skellige fortress and a couple more in velen, what I did and worked EVERY time, is f5 when encounter the bug, reload and he's ready to gwent, every time, not once did it not get fixed after a reload, hope that is the case for you as well

Nice, I will give this a go next time I run into him. What does F5 do? I am assuming it saves but I am not entirely sure. Anyhow, thank you for the response, hopefully this is a more convenient solution

That does sound unpleasant, fortunately I have not run into that problem, yet.

Just had the same problem happen while trying to interact with "Place of Power" stone to get an ability point. Seems like there are quite a few function issues with this game. I doubt they will resolve it considering how old the game is, which is unfortunate, but the bugs are not a game killer (so far) by any means at least, just mildly inconvenient.

Well yeah, they spent a good chunk of change updating the game nearly 2 years ago, but undeniably there are currently fundamental issues in the game that people were having prior to the update(based on reddit/quora inquiries) that never got resolved. Yes, the F5/reload was a much quicker fix than what I was previously doing, thanks again.
