Throwing Specific Weapons Crash Game

Post by SirMrPoopington » Mon Feb 06, 2017 9:04 pm

Hey guys, just wanted to say that any weapon you throw that doesn't have any weapon type (spear, heavy sword, knife) like the tools (dog chisel) will crash the game. Hope Wolfire will fix this :)

What version of the game are you using? Beta 1?

I just tried picking up two different "chisel" items, and I could throw them fine. The one labeled "dog tool chisel" I couldn't pick up at all.

Yea, I'm using beta 1. Weird, are you launching from the SUMLauncher?

I'm using a clean install off of Steam.
What are the minimum step by step instructions that would let me see this bug?

(I work for Wolfire, in case you wonder why I'm asking)

Unless it's been fixed, I know that in a226 throwing the dog bag (that spawns by default in the scrubby hills (night) level if you don't know what item I'm on about)
If you pick it up and throw it at an enemy it causes a hard crash without an error warning

You could try that, but I haven't tried with any of the other tools

I saw today that David has fixed a bug that would cause some items to crash the game when they got thrown, so hopefully this won't be an issue in an upcoming version.
