Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Hex not working.

Hex for the warlock does not cast. When I use it my character just runs up and does melee attack

Hex has a popup where you have to choose which ability score you're hexing before you can click on an enemy.

To confirm, this bug you listed is happening after you click the Hex icon, then click one of ^ icons, then the enemy?

Using Chromecast/remote I can get the popup for different hexes but no tooltip telling what is what and it doesn't seem to select it just goes for attack.

Hmmm yeah clicking one of those popup for different hexes is required to actually cast hex. Otherwise the game thinks you're cancelling hex to do a melee (or ranged if you have a bow equipped. Trying this would be a good test) attack.

I'd recommend trying to cast hex without Chromecast/remote, directly from your pc, to see if you can click on the hex popup boxes that way. If so, the problem is an interaction between spell popups and chromecast/remote.
Otherwise, if this bug is present during direct and remote play, then it is a bug with Hex for some other reason.

Either way, you'll have more knowledge to submit a proper bug report to Larian using their feedback link

Hope this gets fixed!
