Two-Handed Abilities not Registering Damage.

ColoursYouHave · June 2015

Hello, all.

I've been having an issue for the past week or so, and I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this. Lately both Two-Handed abilities Wrecking Blow and Critical Charge have not been registering damage when I hit an enemy. It started about a week or so ago, and it doesn't always happen, but when it does it comes in bunches. For instance, yesterday when I was playing I had no problem and all my attacks were dealing damage, but so far today both Wrecking Blow and Crit Charge have not been doing any damage probably around a quarter of the time. When this happens, I still do the complete animation, nothing interrupts my character, and sometimes Wrecking Blow will even still proc the knockback, but no damage is done to the enemy. The enemy's health bar does not go down, nor is there any indication of an attack registering on my combat log. Is anybody else experiencing this bug or is ZOS aware of any issues with these skills?

Game has seemed exceptionally laggy for the past few weeks, and combat is more sluggish and unresponsive than ever. I hope this problem doesnt occur for consoles =/

One of my characters uses a two-hander, too, but I never had this problem (yet).
Not sure if this is related, but what I noticed what recently happens much more often is, when I still have my weapon drawn, see a flower, click on it, my weapon gets sheathed as it should in order to do the next animation (the flower-picking), but this doesn't happen.

I'm getting this sooo often nowadays, it's so annoying. I can clearly see that my character is about to do the commanded action, but it just stops doing it. Sometimes I even have to click several times because it keeps stopping.

I'm no programmer, but I thought it could be related to your problem somehow when the game animates things up to a certain point, and then it suddenly stops (in your case, that it doesn't register damage; in my case, that the flower is not picked).

Also noticed the knockback with Wrecking blow and not doing any damage. Never worry any more, used to the bugs so don't even thinking about it when something new happens.
