AspenScythe 1 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) So I hit level 12, and went to go assign my skill points, but they were greyed out and I couldn't click on them. Thinking maybe it was because I was in a combat zone, I left the planet. Still couldn't. I have since leveled up, stripped naked, etc in game, reloaded the save, and I still can't assign skill points. Worse, I tried respeccing thinking that would help. I now have 120 skill points I can't assign. So basically, my character has become unplayable Edited October 28, 2019 by AspenScythe Adding some tags 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

timmy_otoole69 1 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I am having the same issue at level 4. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenEye 1 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Same issue here. I'm at level 4, and I can assign my perk point but not my 10 skill points (I can choose where to put the points, but the 'E' key to accept does not work). Interestingly, I had no problem assigning skill points at earlier levels, and 'E' works just fine elsewhere, e.g. looting corpses. Very annoying. I've tried restarting twice. Respeccing had the same result for me as for AspenScythe -- I was left with all of my skill points which I could not assign. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jpm224 2 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Same issue, hit level 8 after leaving the first planet and all skills are greyed out, not able to assign any of the available points. Game is essentially unplayable and I'm definitely not going to repeat the 10 or so hours I have already played to get around a bug. No excuse for releasing something with game-breaking bugs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FirstSilhouette 1 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 So reached level 10....and now I can't assign skill points at all either. Please don't tell me this is a game breaking bug... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lightstorm 1 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Same here. I find if I keep hitting the E key multiple times it will eventually work. This bug should have been picked up before release. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WillyOBS-xbox 1 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Just started playing The Outer Worlds last night and I encounter this bug (or similar) very early on -- my character had just hit level 2 and was on Hawthorne's ship and got the notice that I could spend 10 skill points and 1 perk point. Â I navigated to the correct tab(s) and chose the skills (and perk) that I wanted and when I hit the X button (on xbox one controller) nothing happens. Hitting Y or holding Y down works (clears a single skill/perk chosen ; clears all skills/perks chosen). B works taking you out of the skill/perk window, but X just will not save your choices. Â If you move around the various tabs and windows, you eventually get a warning that leaving Skills/Perks windows will result in your choices being lost, and it gives you the option to go back (B) or continue and leave the window, thus losing everything. Â I eventually got the 10 skill points to save, but I have no idea what I did to get it to save, but the Perks situation is ongoing -- I have yet to be able to get that one pesky perk to save by hitting the X button.

Shane Le Mar 1 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I've just hit level 21 and its doing it to me now, I cannot spend any Skill Points as they are 'greyed out' I started a new game and they are 'greyed out' from the beginning. Even completely purged all evidence of the game from my system and re-installed. No help there as it's still happening. Anyone know if this is being worked on?I've just hit level 21 and its doing it to me now, I cannot spend any Skill Points as they are 'greyed out' I started a new game and they are 'greyed out' from the beginning.

SChin 547 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hey Everyone, Sorry for this issue with the leveling system. What platform are you all using to play The Outer Worlds? From what I've been able to see so far it seems like it's mostly an Xbox One issue but I want to be sure to help us narrow this down. Unfortunately the delay on this has been that we have yet to get a reproduction in-house to be able to see what is happening to the game in the background so we can fix it, but we are still looking into this. Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience this has been causing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thalys 0 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I'm playing on the PC, I bought the game from the EPIC Store, the game is in version: Rell.2.0.418 and I'm having the same problem. I played for 14 hours and I'm at Lv 15, but I can't distribute 25 skill points on my character. Any patches to fix this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SChin 547 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hello again everyone, We are still looking into this issue but are having a bit of trouble getting a reproduction case so that the programmers can see what is causing the issue. From what I've seen in other threads online, some players have been able to bypass this by tapping the assigned input commands quickly. It's not a fix, but I'm hoping it'll help some of you so you can continue your adventure while we try to sort this out. If anyone is also able to get a video of what is happening here, that would be amazing as well. Thanks again for letting us know about this issue and for helping us get to the bottom of it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ADarkHorse 0 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) I have a save game I can offer - at level 11, less than a minute before hitting level 12 - at which point skill points cannot be assigned - but it's over the filesize limit  Mine was also the case where I've come back to the game after a long break... though I guess it will be an even longer break if this doesn't get fixed.  I've also loaded back to levels 10->11 and I have the exact same problem so this whole character is useless Edited May 10 by ADarkHorse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarMaZat 0 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 same here, level 5 after a newly installed game, no "Apply" option at the bottom of the Skills UI, and 30 skills points available but none of them can be assigned. PLEASE FIX THIS, this is not a minor issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aztar 0 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Hi, I got the same issue, 10 monthes after the first report, I can't assign skill points. What about fixing game breaking issues ? Just the worst game dev support I've ever seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Admin_tinn 0 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I have this issues, there is no option to confirm the skill points. It happened on my first character so I made another one, both times I can't spend the points I get at lvl 2 and beyond Quote Link to post Share on other sites
