If any pet dies during a pet battle, the option to select the next pet is NOT AVAILABLE and the battle must be forfeited. Not only is that battle lost, but you’re also out the bandages you must use to heal your pets to try again.
Please fix this.
Thank you.
This is happening to me as well. As soon as my first pet dies, there is no option to pick the next pet, leaving the battle stuck and no way to save caught pets.
Pet battles still not working properly. Once any pet dies, the UI locks up and no action accept forfeiting can be completed, rendering the entire pet battling feature useless.
Can we get a fix, please and thank you?
work around we found was switching out pet before it dies then you can complete. if pet dies then you get the bug. Hope this helps
That’s only an option in low level battles that don’t require much effort. It is not a potential strategy when battling Trainers, the Menagerie, etc.
I am 4 pet charms away from a particular goal, which I should have reached easily today… and I can’t because I can’t fight any trainer but Ashlei without losing a single pet.
This is quite odd.
I just completed a pet fight in Hallowfall for which the team strat explicitly requires a self-destruct, and encountered no issues after that turn.
Are you perhaps using an outdated pet battles addon?
Addons are up to date. I’ll try turning them off as soon as I reach a good testing area and will update once done.
Edited to add (since Blizzard forums won’t allow you to reply to a thread if you’re the last in that thread): Turning off Pet Tracker and Rematch did the trick, thank you!!
I’m using both, so although I’m glad you can get through it, those shouldn’t have been a problem if they are truly the most recent updates.
Still, from a troubleshooting perspective, it’s good to have that clarified.
Same issue here, but I found that if you /reload ui, the option to choose your next pet will show up.
I know this is a maddening bug, and the only way I found to fix it is to use the addon Rematch
This is happening to me. I haven’t tried on the mainland, but it is at least happening in Undermine.
I turned off pet tracker addon and it seems to work now.
It still happens even with no addons loaded. I have a clean install in another location on my computer that I use just for testing bugs like this because the first thing Blizzard will tell us is to turn off addons.
Could be an account wide cvar being changed by the addon messing everything up.
This is frustrating.
Hopefully, someone will get eyes on the issue soon.
I have loaded:
Rematch
Battle pet Breed ID
PetBattleTeams
PetJournal enhanced
Rematch TSM - Pet values
I just unloaded Pet tracker and it works
Pet Tracker had a very recent update (two days ago), so perhaps this is a bug Jailborc addressed?
Editing to add: no, this is still being reported as a bug in that most recent version.
A more focused workaround appears to be to disable just the PetTracker-Battle module, but for me that would defeat the purpose of using the addon. (The world map pet tracking isn’t useful now that I have all the Safari achievements done, but seeing my opponent’s moveset and cooldowns is critical within a pet battle.)
Just /reload
I didn’t have this issue yesterday. Today, I do.
So I removed Pet Tracker and PetJournal Enhanced (all UTD), and did a UI reset; and it worked.
Something with those addons, maybe?
I don’t run either addon (when I am running addons) and I still have the problem. The issue exists on a clean install (no addons) that I’ll run to test these things because that’s the first thing Blizzard will ask you to do when you report a bug.
