Can throw weapons only once

Post by Wilcon92 » Wed Feb 15, 2017 12:31 pm

Hey!
So I am experiencing a little issue with weapons.
When I start the game, open any map (or make a new one) and chose a spear for fighting, I can only throw it once. After reloading I cannot throw it again. For that I need to restart the whole game.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I can not reproduce this on either internal_testing nor beta 2. Do you happen to have any mods installed and active?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I don't have anything installed than the original game from steam.
Maybe I should do more testing on this issue to help more.

I did a quick testing on a map I created.
I used a Dog Knife, a spear and a greatsword.
For the testing I spawned two enemies.

When facing the first enemy i push Q like a thousand times. A lot of times I only threw the weapon when the enemy fell of the cliff. Then, when attacking the next enemy, everything worked fine.

For me it seemed like I had to do some blocking or anything special to "unlock" the ability to throw the weapon. I cannot really explain this but it hopes it helps a bit.

Is it possible for you to post a vid so we can see what exactly what's going on?

When recording I get hard FPS-drops but it is still ok for the purpose of showing the problem.

Somehow it is a little bit different than i described before.
At first I cannot throw the weapon but later on I can always...

After some more testing I wasn't even able to throw the weapon once.
I really don't know how this issue works and what causes it, but it is really weird.

Same, but I encountered this bug when playing too, only occurred once on internal testing, but worked fine after restarting

What timestamps in the video were you trying to throw the weapon and failing to?
