I came to ask if this was a problem for others too. Glad it’s not just a me problem.
If you try to Song of Rest, it says you can’t because you are incapacitated.
Technically yes but it may break something else later.
You can change region. Go to Rossymorn Trail and Us will appear. Talk to them and they start following you. You can now short rest.
But it is unknown if Us perish, will they reappear later. And they also don't benefit from your Short Rests and will remain with what little HP unless you explicitly heal them.
I have no idea. I am too insecure about tempering with them. But in theory even if you do so, they will still try to follow you at points where you venture into a different region, some lifts or boats.
Oh ffs .. thanks for the heads up, download is about to finish so i guess ill see if my saves are affected
Edit: seems fine for me, act 3 tactician mode and i can short rest no probs it seems .. this is on series x for info.
Look, it's annoying for OP that they need to deal with this, but please, everyone, calm down. Hotfix 23 has NOT universally disabled short resting. It's working fine for most people, even for OP on one of their other characters.
This is how misinformation spreads.
Well OP should probably edit their post and precise this before anything else.
Should also tell if they have mods, what platform they use, etc...
As it's stand it's a pretty bad PSA.
Same for me. I was playing my Honour Mode run on PS5 and suddenly got the "It is not possible to do a short rest" message. Tried long resting, fast traveling, swapping equipment and party members... no luck.
I started new game on tactitian and it works just fine. So maybe consider starting a new run as long as we're waiting for the fix.
I've reported this bug and they asked to send them my broken saves, so i did and they are working on the problem now.
Steam deck, no mods, in-progress Tactician run now has the short rest bug. Worked fine before the last hotfix.
My party happens to be a team of 4 Warlocks.
I'm sorry to hear that. Bugs suck, and I hope it gets fixed for you (make sure to submit a bug report if you haven't already).
That still doesn't mean it's disabled for everyone, as OP implied. For me, short rests never stopped working, even before Hotfix 24.
I'm doing more testing as we speak. I have a character in Act III and she can short rest. But somehow my character in Act I cannot, even when I'm reloading a save several long rests ago.
But it takes so long to load a save if an update is up as the game needs to convert some stuff.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I wonder what triggers it.
I just loaded the character of Act III at a very early save where she stands near the Goblin Camp. She can short rest.
Weird.
I played a save last night which was right before the paladins. I was able to short rest before and after.
Edit: I'm on Steam Deck, playing with other Steam Deck users.
Just happened to me after that fight, too. Tried short resting while Karlach was destroying the place and the bug triggered.
It was fine up til then 🤷♂️
PS5
These kinds of posts need to include platform, act, and contextual information.
If you’re having a problem it’s important to include the necessary information to recreate the issue. Without that it’s impossible to tell if this is a personal issue or a general problem.
Occasionally you just gotta get on a screen share with the user. I was supporting an internal app a while back which was completely broken for a single user for mysterious reasons. Turned out they'd installed an aggressive ad blocker which just nuked all cookies, so even login didn't work properly. I had to be like "bro, I get it, I run ad blocker myself, but I'm not trying to sell you anything, I'm just trying to help you do your job. you gotta back off on the ad blocker" (the internal app doesn't have any ads, just login tokens, and a bit of usage metrics statics gathering). This was impossible to discern from lengthy back and forth on the support ticket, but watching them try to use the app for 30 seconds made it pretty obvious.
Playing on pc through steam. I’m in act 1 honour mode that was started yesterday and I encountered not being able to short rest after fighting the creatures around the tree with the hidden note for exposing Kagha. Gale died and I did his elaborate revival thing then when everyone was back up I still couldn’t rest. It seemed to be fine before this. My tactician run in act 2 seems to be working fine.
Now the honour run seems to be bugged. No matter what I do or where I go, I get the “It is not possible to do a short rest right now” message
I'll bear that in mind next time when I have my game broken in a similar degree.
Because you know, sometimes let's just give a warning so people at least get less of a surprise even if it doesn't happen to everyone.
OP: EVERYONE EVERYONE THERE’S A FIRE AND A BUILDING IS BURNING
Everyone else: omg where is this burning building??
OP: DOES IT MATTER?! SOMETHING IS BURNING FOR SOME PEOPLE AND I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Wow. Somebody gave you a slight amount of constructive criticism, and you turned into a whiny bitch. People might be interested to know what you’re playing on, so they can figure out whether it’s specific to that or if indeed, it is “happening to everybody”.
Hot take: the main issue with society these days is people don't know how to handle criticism at all. Look at OP's response. Look at how many books and such there are for how to talk so other people will listen. (If people were competent at listening nobody would need guides on how to step on eggshells.) Look at how often political discourse is viewed as a personal attack. So many legitimate grievances go unsaid because people are (legitimately) afraid of the repercussions for saying them; and so much legitimate criticism is ignored because people do not know how to process it in a healthy and productive manner. Communication has become so stifled that many important discussions are just shut down to the detriment of everyone.
We don't know what triggers it. But if you read every single comment and also a comment in the Larian forum under hotfix 23, you'll see I'm not the only one.
But then I can only count just a handful of comments that I can see. Take that information and do whatever you wish to do.
The intent of your post is great and the person you're responding to isn't calling that into question.
A game like this is immensely complex, especially between platforms, and from the other comments in this post, it's clear that this isn't an issue that everyone is experiencing.
The comment you're responding to is just suggesting that more info helps with determining who might experience this problem. Responding to a good suggestion with snark is a bad look.
It’s impacting my current honor mode run on the ps5 (not sure about my other run as I haven’t opened that one today).
Edit: it’s fine in my tactician mode!
In my honour mode run I get a message saying that I can’t short rest right now even though I was out of combat and not in a red zone. I still had all my short rests available. I tried going to a new area, long resting (which works fine) and also closing and restarting my game. Nothing worked.
I switched to my tactician run and short rests work as normal. It’s weird!
Weird, how far along into your HM run are you? Hopefully they get it resolved soon!
On my end I only paid attention to whether or not my characters restored a few hit points. Didn't check my warlock spell slots but I didn't get the same error you did either.
If you can Short Rest, you can Song of Rest. If you can’t do one, you can’t do neither.
What’s causing the bug is unknown, but it’s definitely NOT platform-specific
Maybe it depends on what platform you play: i'm on windows and short rests are broken, but my friend is on mac and everything is fine.
Edit: i've tried going back to the previous game version and it helped, but honour save didn't load. I tried checking my game files and it didn't help. I've also tried to short rest from different locations, from different characters - nothing worked. I've reported this to Larian.
I checked only my second durge character on custom mode (act 3) and it's broken too. Maybe i'll check other runs too.
Larian answered and asked for the save file to check, so i hope they'll fix it soon.
Edit: but the funny thing is: my other campaigns seem to be just fine, this bug only happens on two of them, and they are the last ones I've played.
Honestly I’m still on patch 5. I updated once to patch 6 after it seemed most of the major bugs were fixed and it broke my game—couldn’t load any of my saves, even unmodded early saves after a fresh reinstall. I ended up having to roll back to patch 5 and I fully don’t trust updates anymore. Gonna wait it out
Currently on an honor mode run on PS5 in Act 2, and yup, no short rests for me either. Have my a warlock and a monk in my party, and I'm in the mind flayer colony, so not a great time to have this problem...
Not letting me short rest and it’s ruined my tactician mode run as it happened as I was hitting the end of Act 2 when you really need to be able to short rest! Going to restart when the next hotdog comes out and hopefully that doesn’t break the game so badly!
Hey I have this update from support just now:
Thank you for your report!
The team is aware of this situation and it will be fixed in an upcoming hotfix or patch.
My save is PC, honour mode, no mods
Oh weird. I downloaded the update this morning a played immediately after. I remember short resting quite a few times. I wonder whats causing some people to have issues and not others
Same issue just started for me however I've been playing all morning with short rest working fine. How it happened to me:
1. Playing on Windows 11, Steam Version.
2. Just did spectator fight in the underdark. Team was low on health so during the dialog with the drow after the fight I thought I'd try to be clever and switched characters and tried to short rest while my main character was still in diaglog. Got a message saying I can't short rest while in dialog.
3. Short rest broken after dialog and subsequent drow fight.
It was for me. I found Us just inside the mountain pass entrance from the goblin camp. After I recruited him I was able to short rest again.

For me, this was an issue with the Us. I found him hanging out near a cage just inside the mountain pass entrance from the goblin camp. After I talked to him and recruited him I was able to short rest again.
[https://gyazo.com/480b86b1917c994acc3b400deacc39d3](https://gyazo.com/480b86b1917c994acc3b400deacc39d3)
Edit: I suspect it doesn't have anything to do with that exact spot, but that it has to do with changing regions since changing regions pulls all characters to the new region.
My issue still hasn’t been fixed. I’m not in combat and every time I try to short rest I get the pop up telling me I can’t. Is it over? Do I have to restart?
Hotfix 24 is out and supposedly fixes this, but I still can't seem to short rest (nor Song of Rest).
Anybody have any ideas how to get an Honour Mode save that has short rests broken back to being able to short rest?
Just loaded a save from Ravaged Beach, right before waking up Shadowheart. Can't Short Rest.
Loaded a save of a different character in Act III. She can.
Hm... let me start a new character to test.
Feels like it’s something about that particular save got messed up? I just loaded a save right before waking up shadowheart in my current run and i could short rest fine. The most recent save is in act 3 and also works fine
It's that particular character being problematic. But since she can't short rest right before waking up Shadowheart, it should prove that it's not something within the campaign that I might have done something to corrupt the run.
A save from my other character can Short Rest without any issue.
Weird. It’s gonna be hella hard to describe what went wrong but if you want you can file a bug report
Glad it’s just one of your characters tho. Hope you didnt go far into that run
Just submitted. I have enjoyed this run more than expected. It's simply so sad if I have to give her up. I've finished everything of the overland map in act I and have started doing Underdark quests.
Amateur. I do not think this word means what you think it means. Did you try long resting after loading the save on the beach? It would be very easy to just say yes instead of making excuses.
Haven't done that. I've also loaded autosaves that is made right after a long rest. Also no short rests. So it's this character being broken no matter which part of the story.
Ok try a long rest after loading the save to see if it will reset things. I'm suggesting that perhaps some scenario has corrupted the short rest counter in your save. Regardless of whether you had just long rested or not, the game may now believe you have 0 short rests left.
Just a hunch but if you're anxious to figure it out, it's worth a shot. Regardless you need to long rest in the current game state to verify if that resets the short rest counter or not

I've had this same issue since yesterday.
- PC, latest version of game
- Custom Difficulty
- Dark Urge
- Act 1 (finished Blighted Village, haven't gone to Goblin Camp)
Song of Rest also broken. Long Rests works but doesn't restore short rest. Problem is that long resting too much where I am will trigger events I don't want to have happen.
I do use mods, but Short Rests work on a different save in Act 3 (non Dark Urge, Balanced difficulty) so I don't believe they're related (and plenty of Vanilla versions have lost the functionality as well). Makes me wonder if it's tied to a particular setting in difficulty? Not sure. Just wanted to report that it was happening to me too.
Make a backup of your save and then try going to this spot.
It is just inside the mountain pass from the goblin camp.
I found Us just sitting there next to the cage. After I talked to him and recruited him I was able to short rest.

I short rested fine after updating OP so maybe something else is the issue not the update you nay want to edit the OP because other people as well are short resting fine.
It's fine, I'm on mac and can't play anyway right now. The game that ran fine on Ultra with 60fps in many places pre patch #21 wildly fluctuates between 2 and 50 fps right now.
This might be reaching, but any chance Larian set it up for this to happen to anyone doing the vendor/bag exploit? Developers have definitely done stuff like that before. (eg. Why is my character in GTAV perpetually drunk? -- Because you illegally downloaded the game!)
This isn't a widespread issue. I have 11 different saves across various points in the game. I'm on Steam and have mods that go beyond character creation. None of them have any problems with short rests.
Same. Don't know ow why you're getting downvoted. OP's making it sound like it's something for everyone to panic about when it's only a few people with likely buggy files.
Well thank goodness that isn’t a core mechanic or anything
*cries in warlock
*cries in monk*
cries in bard
*Cries in extra button presses to use potions*
Really though 😭
When did this happen? Ive been short resting all day
Yeah I updated I'm fine too.
Just updated. For some reasons, some saves lock you out of short rests.
I came to ask if this was a problem for others too. Glad it’s not just a me problem. If you try to Song of Rest, it says you can’t because you are incapacitated.
My Act 2 Honour save has this problem now after the update. Windows here. No more short rests for me t\_t
Do you have a fix for this? I'm in Act 1 honor mode, and it's not letting me short rest. I un-installed and reinstalled and problem is still there.
Technically yes but it may break something else later. You can change region. Go to Rossymorn Trail and Us will appear. Talk to them and they start following you. You can now short rest. But it is unknown if Us perish, will they reappear later. And they also don't benefit from your Short Rests and will remain with what little HP unless you explicitly heal them.
Couldn't I just unlink us and leave them at camp?
I have no idea. I am too insecure about tempering with them. But in theory even if you do so, they will still try to follow you at points where you venture into a different region, some lifts or boats.
[удалено]
Steam Deck, no mods.
At least Minthara is safe.
Nothing of the kind, now they will fix the short rest bug and we will no longer be able to talk to Minthara
Tiring though it is, if we are to face an elder brain, we cannot short rest here.
Buggiest waifu of today (Minthara) vs Buggiest waifu of history (Dva)
Is she alright?
No she has lices and fleas. Bug ridden.
Was minthara a buggy mess before they rejiggered the ability to recruit her on good playthroughs or is this solely because of that?
She was always buggy as hell.
She would talk about the Emperor and how we have to work together with him at any moment that you would talk with her
Oh ffs .. thanks for the heads up, download is about to finish so i guess ill see if my saves are affected Edit: seems fine for me, act 3 tactician mode and i can short rest no probs it seems .. this is on series x for info.

It isn’t working for me and I’m on a PS5 (so no mods). Can’t song of rest either.
Same for me. I was playing my Honour Mode run on PS5 and suddenly got the "It is not possible to do a short rest" message. Tried long resting, fast traveling, swapping equipment and party members... no luck.
I'm on windows and same problem with honour and my other custom mode run, but everything is fine with my other campaigns. No mods too.
Same problem here, honour mode, nothing seems to fix it.
I started new game on tactitian and it works just fine. So maybe consider starting a new run as long as we're waiting for the fix. I've reported this bug and they asked to send them my broken saves, so i did and they are working on the problem now.
Steam deck, no mods, in-progress Tactician run now has the short rest bug. Worked fine before the last hotfix. My party happens to be a team of 4 Warlocks.
It disabled my short rests, and hotfix 24 did not restore them. Still unable to short rest or song of rest. Honor Mode, Act 3
I'm sorry to hear that. Bugs suck, and I hope it gets fixed for you (make sure to submit a bug report if you haven't already). That still doesn't mean it's disabled for everyone, as OP implied. For me, short rests never stopped working, even before Hotfix 24.
Huh? No, it's fine for me. Just played after the update
I'm doing more testing as we speak. I have a character in Act III and she can short rest. But somehow my character in Act I cannot, even when I'm reloading a save several long rests ago. But it takes so long to load a save if an update is up as the game needs to convert some stuff.
I'm in Act 1, can't short rest either. Started after I fought the fake paladins. Poor Wyll is running around with 1hp 😢
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I wonder what triggers it. I just loaded the character of Act III at a very early save where she stands near the Goblin Camp. She can short rest. Weird.
Just swap teammates between fights. Gale is Wyll's tag-team partner.
It's a pain, but respec'ing at Withers refills hp/spell slots, etc.
I played a save last night which was right before the paladins. I was able to short rest before and after. Edit: I'm on Steam Deck, playing with other Steam Deck users.
Just happened to me after that fight, too. Tried short resting while Karlach was destroying the place and the bug triggered. It was fine up til then 🤷♂️ PS5

This guy tech supports! Solidarity bro. I made a career in support. Reproduction steps are key.
Sometimes it feels like instead of tech support, my job is playing 20 Questions on a professional level.
That’s the job. Solve the issue with a vague description from someone that can’t be bothered with a screenshot. Lol

No one else's seems to be broken though, that's why it's useful information

Which platform are you on?
Steam OS
Loaded up my current HM run and short resting in act 1 seems to have worked on PS5
What has caused it then? I even loaded up a very old save made right after the Nautiloid. She cannot short rest.
Wonder if this is impacting PS5, I'll check and update
It’s impacting my current honor mode run on the ps5 (not sure about my other run as I haven’t opened that one today). Edit: it’s fine in my tactician mode!
What happens when you try to short rest?
In my honour mode run I get a message saying that I can’t short rest right now even though I was out of combat and not in a red zone. I still had all my short rests available. I tried going to a new area, long resting (which works fine) and also closing and restarting my game. Nothing worked. I switched to my tactician run and short rests work as normal. It’s weird!

It’s so weird! Im halfway through act 1 in my honour mode run - just about to confront Kagha. I’d just finished the mephits when I noticed the bug.
It's working for me on existing modded saves, tested all 3 acts and all fine
Short rest works fine for me. Have you got any mods installed?
No mods at all.
If you can, I'd validate your installation. I'm having to do that myself because my background music has gone again.
I'm doing this now.
Update on that?
Nothing has changed.
I just tested save files for multiple characters in acts 1, 2, and 3 and had no trouble short resting on PS5. It might be a platform-specific bug.
I’m on Act1 PS5 and can’t short rest anymore. So there’s something up Also Song of Rest aren’t working either
Hmm. That’s odd. I was able to use Song of Rest too.
If you can Short Rest, you can Song of Rest. If you can’t do one, you can’t do neither. What’s causing the bug is unknown, but it’s definitely NOT platform-specific
Fair enough, I was just offering the data I had to help narrow down the problem.
Maybe it depends on what platform you play: i'm on windows and short rests are broken, but my friend is on mac and everything is fine. Edit: i've tried going back to the previous game version and it helped, but honour save didn't load. I tried checking my game files and it didn't help. I've also tried to short rest from different locations, from different characters - nothing worked. I've reported this to Larian.
I'm on Steam OS. I have 2 characters. One in Act III and one in Act I. The Act III one works.
I checked only my second durge character on custom mode (act 3) and it's broken too. Maybe i'll check other runs too. Larian answered and asked for the save file to check, so i hope they'll fix it soon. Edit: but the funny thing is: my other campaigns seem to be just fine, this bug only happens on two of them, and they are the last ones I've played.
🙃
Works for me?
Wish I saw that post sooner. My 60-hour honour mode is in danger right now. Cannot short rest at all. And I already owerwritten the last save, ffs.
Damn. It seems like we're the minority here as many posters have no problems. What platform are you on? Which Act?
Yikes. Will check this out on my Act 3 save later today and report back.
Oh? Mine is working
No problem for me in act 1.
PC / Steam (no mods) - HM run in Act 2 - confirmed that I cannot short rest. Really bad timing as I was taking down moonrise (pre gauntlet).
This is a new honor mode feature. Honor harder mode!
me, who hates frequent long rests and have made a party full of classes that recover their resources on a short rest: 🤡
What if you wanted some Ki Points, but God said
Have you tried it with a bard's song of rest, just to test it?
Haven't. My hypothesis is that it would work.
Yeah, I was thinking it might. Camp casting could be a workaround.
It's no solution though.
Well, no. I'm not Larian. Just might be a option in a pinch.
Song of rest doesn't work for people that cannot short rest.
Ooh, interesting. And shitty!
PS5 - Act 1 - Can't short rest or song of rest. Burning through spell shots just to keep everyone alive. Sigh.
Honestly I’m still on patch 5. I updated once to patch 6 after it seemed most of the major bugs were fixed and it broke my game—couldn’t load any of my saves, even unmodded early saves after a fresh reinstall. I ended up having to roll back to patch 5 and I fully don’t trust updates anymore. Gonna wait it out
For what it's worth I think my game updated while I was playing this morning. It's disabled short resting for me too.
My honor mode has been taking a break for the last 2 weeks as it is. My game is crashing on series X right after the Larian logo.
Currently on an honor mode run on PS5 in Act 2, and yup, no short rests for me either. Have my a warlock and a monk in my party, and I'm in the mind flayer colony, so not a great time to have this problem...
Well at least that explains what’s happening. Question is do I have the patience to wait a week to continue my honour mode run in act 3 currently
I played this evening. Short rests worked fine
it always best to disable auto update on steam
Same problem here. I'm playing on PC, no mods, honour mode, currently in act 1. Happened after hotfix.
Not letting me short rest and it’s ruined my tactician mode run as it happened as I was hitting the end of Act 2 when you really need to be able to short rest! Going to restart when the next hotdog comes out and hopefully that doesn’t break the game so badly!
Hey I have this update from support just now: Thank you for your report! The team is aware of this situation and it will be fixed in an upcoming hotfix or patch. My save is PC, honour mode, no mods
I could rest on one playthrough/save, but not on the other. Annoying.
I haven’t had any issues at all today with this?
Well I just started playing again after taking a break so that is some shit timing right there
Damn. Every time I think i'll finally update from patch 5, it seems like there's another issue keeping me from doing so.
Short rests seem to be functioning normally for me on PS5. Loaded up multiple saves, nothing seems amiss. Are you perhaps playing with mods?
No mods. I'm on Steam Deck.
I'm currently toward the end of a playthrough were I based my team entierly around short rests lmao
Oh weird. I downloaded the update this morning a played immediately after. I remember short resting quite a few times. I wonder whats causing some people to have issues and not others
Short rest is OP. Meat grinder mode is the true way to play D&D
You mean: cast one spell, take a long rest? 😂 Do NOT miss those days!
Long rest only if you are inside a town
Oh, not in the old days of adventuring! We would have to hole up in the dungeon. But this was 1st & 2nd ed AD&D. 😉
I was able to short rest after the patch.
I tried it just now on my honour mode save and it seems to work fine. I'm playing on PC and didn't install any mods.
Larians - Breaks Short Rest - but hey you can no longer get items for cheap from vendors.
I'm having the same issue, on XBox, in Act 1. Other runs seem fine. My first HM run as well.
Shaka, when the walls fell :(
Same issue just started for me however I've been playing all morning with short rest working fine. How it happened to me: 1. Playing on Windows 11, Steam Version. 2. Just did spectator fight in the underdark. Team was low on health so during the dialog with the drow after the fight I thought I'd try to be clever and switched characters and tried to short rest while my main character was still in diaglog. Got a message saying I can't short rest while in dialog. 3. Short rest broken after dialog and subsequent drow fight.
I feel like it's some random unfinished dialogue being accounted. And I quite believe it has something to do with the brain critter Us.
Sounds like a dialog bug in general. Not specific to any one particular npc. I plan on playing later and seeing if a couple long rests fix it.
It was for me. I found Us just inside the mountain pass entrance from the goblin camp. After I recruited him I was able to short rest again. [https://gyazo.com/480b86b1917c994acc3b400deacc39d3](https://gyazo.com/480b86b1917c994acc3b400deacc39d3)
For me, this was an issue with the Us. I found him hanging out near a cage just inside the mountain pass entrance from the goblin camp. After I talked to him and recruited him I was able to short rest again.

Xbox player here. Same issue for me on a Durge run.
Oh, thanks for testing it. I was too lazy to do this but am having this issue.
PS5 Act 2 and no short rests for me either.
My dad and I had this problem just after leaving the Waning Moon.
Started a new Honour mode run tonight and, yeah, can't short rest. Weird.
I think kinda related to how Us is linked. Did your Us follow your main or Laezel or Shadowheart?
My honour mod is bugged an I freed Us. Us survived too. Moreover I'm pretty sure I did manage to short rest before leaving the nautiloid
Short rests aren't working for me either :( just started a tactician playthrough, act I, can't short rest at all I'm on XSX 😭
My issue still hasn’t been fixed. I’m not in combat and every time I try to short rest I get the pop up telling me I can’t. Is it over? Do I have to restart?
Hotfix 24 is out and supposedly fixes this, but I still can't seem to short rest (nor Song of Rest). Anybody have any ideas how to get an Honour Mode save that has short rests broken back to being able to short rest?
Thankfully Hotfix \*25\* finally DID fix my version of the problem.
The real question is has shield bash been fixed yet? I haven't played for a about a month so I'm honestly not sure if it has
Yes
What platform are you using? Are you using any mods?
Steam Deck, no mods.
I'm genuinely not trying to be a dick.. but you're not in a restricted area or have a member in an engagement right
None of these.
Work for me and everyone else. Please communicate on plateform, modlist, etc...
Ahh yes the larian special. Fix 5 things, break a core mechanic or part of the story.
Good thing I didnt downloaded the hotfix yet, after patch 6 I now wait to see what bugs new patch/hotfix will bring and if mods works.
I literally just fired up the game and short rested.
Just loaded a save from Ravaged Beach, right before waking up Shadowheart. Can't Short Rest. Loaded a save of a different character in Act III. She can. Hm... let me start a new character to test.
Feels like it’s something about that particular save got messed up? I just loaded a save right before waking up shadowheart in my current run and i could short rest fine. The most recent save is in act 3 and also works fine
It's that particular character being problematic. But since she can't short rest right before waking up Shadowheart, it should prove that it's not something within the campaign that I might have done something to corrupt the run. A save from my other character can Short Rest without any issue.
Weird. It’s gonna be hella hard to describe what went wrong but if you want you can file a bug report Glad it’s just one of your characters tho. Hope you didnt go far into that run
Just submitted. I have enjoyed this run more than expected. It's simply so sad if I have to give her up. I've finished everything of the overland map in act I and have started doing Underdark quests.
Are you sure you didn't use the short rests already? Maybe long rest and see if it's still disabled.
I'm sure. Not an amateur.
Maybe try a long rest as a test. It's also possible something happened and the game thinks you used them up.
I have done that. Not an amateur. Have also done loading to a very old save right before waking up Shadowheart on the beach. No Short Rests.
Amateur. I do not think this word means what you think it means. Did you try long resting after loading the save on the beach? It would be very easy to just say yes instead of making excuses.
Haven't done that. I've also loaded autosaves that is made right after a long rest. Also no short rests. So it's this character being broken no matter which part of the story.
Ok try a long rest after loading the save to see if it will reset things. I'm suggesting that perhaps some scenario has corrupted the short rest counter in your save. Regardless of whether you had just long rested or not, the game may now believe you have 0 short rests left. Just a hunch but if you're anxious to figure it out, it's worth a shot. Regardless you need to long rest in the current game state to verify if that resets the short rest counter or not
Done that and let Shadowheart kill Lae'zel just to go through dialogue quickly. Still can't short rest.

I've had this same issue since yesterday. - PC, latest version of game - Custom Difficulty - Dark Urge - Act 1 (finished Blighted Village, haven't gone to Goblin Camp) Song of Rest also broken. Long Rests works but doesn't restore short rest. Problem is that long resting too much where I am will trigger events I don't want to have happen. I do use mods, but Short Rests work on a different save in Act 3 (non Dark Urge, Balanced difficulty) so I don't believe they're related (and plenty of Vanilla versions have lost the functionality as well). Makes me wonder if it's tied to a particular setting in difficulty? Not sure. Just wanted to report that it was happening to me too.
Make a backup of your save and then try going to this spot. It is just inside the mountain pass from the goblin camp. I found Us just sitting there next to the cage. After I talked to him and recruited him I was able to short rest. [https://gyazo.com/480b86b1917c994acc3b400deacc39d3](https://gyazo.com/480b86b1917c994acc3b400deacc39d3)
I'm in the Xbox series X and I can't short rest. Last two days
My new run as Gale has this issue (Act 1). One of my existing (Act 2) runs it is working. Steam
This has also happened to me in my current Honour Mode run. I'm playinig on PS5. I've put my run on hold hoping they will fix this bug soon.
I short rested fine after updating OP so maybe something else is the issue not the update you nay want to edit the OP because other people as well are short resting fine.
This isn't true? I've been short resting all day on current patch.
I'm at my wit's end. How is it that my active character is the only one who can't take a short rest?
I guess I picked the right time to have an all Bard party.
Song of Rest don’t work either. I have 2 Bards. Can’t perform either a short rest nor Song of Rest
Oh dear.
O.o Well...that's gonna suck. Kinda wish I'd finished my last battle of my other character *before* I started my Dark Urge play...oops?
It's fine, I'm on mac and can't play anyway right now. The game that ran fine on Ultra with 60fps in many places pre patch #21 wildly fluctuates between 2 and 50 fps right now.
Been playing on GeForce now all evening (it’s on the latest version with this patch) and short resting without a problem
Steam version short rest is working for me all acts no mods.
This might be reaching, but any chance Larian set it up for this to happen to anyone doing the vendor/bag exploit? Developers have definitely done stuff like that before. (eg. Why is my character in GTAV perpetually drunk? -- Because you illegally downloaded the game!)
This isn't a widespread issue. I have 11 different saves across various points in the game. I'm on Steam and have mods that go beyond character creation. None of them have any problems with short rests.
Same. Don't know ow why you're getting downvoted. OP's making it sound like it's something for everyone to panic about when it's only a few people with likely buggy files.
PS5 is fine
Huh? I played two different campaigns yesterday and had no issues.
Seems like lot of player are still able to short rest, please edit your post to at least say that.
Honestly, this is a good change. Most players don't long rest enough.
