Usually in the game, the image of the lockpicking indicator is a circle and a ball in the middle, when the correct position is found, the indicator increases and turns yellow. For some reason my indicator represents only a circle, so finding a correct position is possible by luck, because nothing turns yellow and does not increase, the indicator at any point is the same. How to fix this bug?

Thats a known bug I already sent that to the devs.
It should be patched in the next big patch, atleast I hope so. 
Do you have this problem with every lock, or only with one specific?
Please send a email to:

Thank you!
If they get more mails with the same problem, the priority goes up…
Hi, i got the excact same issue. I was in the second town after the raid. I needed to loot a chest to get armor. First try i went to jail so i reloaded and bought the lockpick. Then saved by sleeping. Suddenly i was unable to lockpick anything. The yellow indicator did not show up, reloaded the save, same issue. All the chest i tried did not have the yellow marker. i went to the forums and saw this post, and the post telling to ugrade the videodrivers first. This had resolved the issue for me. I hope it will for you too!
Today there was 2 patches. After the first patch (day 1 release) i had no problems with locks in Talmberg, now since second patch i cant open any chest since i have the same problem, i cant find the weak point of the lock the red dot dont show anymore instead i have always a plain circle, i can try randomly click and rotate everywhere, it works sometime so it means the weak point is still here but last patch probably broke the game mechanics for locks.
Same issue here. Please fix this ASAP. This is game-breaking.
Restarting a save today where i saved right before my first lockpicking attempt in talmberg i now have the yellow/red dot when lockpicking. No new patch since yesterday.
This is weird because yesterday i restarted the game and loaded this same savegame many times to make it work but was unsuccessfull.
EDIT:" Try to download a new driver for your graphics card and then restard it, everything will be ok, it also worked for me"
Same problem here, i was already in Vattay (or whatever the name). And I did the mission for the miller a lot of times (because i failed) then 2 hours ago i finally succeeded stealing the ring and then i saved by sleeping; Now I can’t pick any lock and i’m kind of frustrated, because yesterday i was stuck for a lot of hours and now i’m stuck again…
Please fix this, hope it is not in my save games…
Im playing games always with the latest Nvidia drivers. And it didnt fix it for me 
And I forgot to answer you. It happens on every lock, does not matter if its a chest, a door or something else.
Loading a save didnt help, I have the latest drivers.
The newest patch today seems to patch that bug. Finally I can see the yellow ball.
Atleast for me
I downloaded the “Game Ready Driver” from NVIDIA for this game. That fixed it.
I have a lockpicking bug that is quite different. When I hold the action button to lockpick, Henry just walks endlessly into the object I am trying to pick. I can’t even attempt to pick a lock. Right now between this bug and the one where my main objective in the story is unreachable, my gameplay is totally ruined.
well i got this bug since the patch today. before it all work fine, but now i cant open any lock, cause of i only have a cycle with a black center, no coloured point as before … thief missions are now impossible 
Edit: several game - restarts fixed the problem for me
I just got this bug too. Pretty annoying… 
I have a bug where I can’t rotate the lock. I’ll rotate the stick on my controller but the lock doesn’t move.
