Front bar weapons disappearing (visual bug)

daemonios

This thread was started in August 2018, so it will have a birthday soon!

Is any fix coming with the Scalecaller update? Has anyone played on PTS and can say if this issue is still present?

Happy Birthday Thread!

Just bringing this back up to say it's STILL not fixed, despite a dev even replying on this on page 1.

PATHETIC!!!

Honestly, the lead of the animation team for ESO should be fired. Animations are bad all around, but this visual bug is really annoying and they haven't been able to fix it for OVER A YEAR?? Give me a break.

Hey ZOS, get your CRAP together and fix this in the NEXT PATCH. You shouldn't need an ADDON or /reloadui to fix this crap.

Just refresh your computer or console, it corrects itself after. On console delete your saved data and shut down your console completely. Wait a few minutes and turn it back on, it starts working fine. I would just restart my computer if it’s on Mac or PC.

I mean... you can just equip and unequip a weapon and it "fixes" itself too, but that's not the point.

ZOS needs to fix this so it doesn't happen at all. It's annoying.

Can anyone tell me if the Clutch addon still works to address this problem?

I still get the same issue. Anytime I enter a delve or other such instance unless I unequip the reequip the item or leave the instance it stays bugged.

My stamcro is forever surfing on her bow, and attacking with invisible daggers. She has quite the spiffy styles for her weapons, too bad I can't see them

Hey guys... I heard you dont have to use your weapons as a skateboard at WoW...

Thanks for the reports, all. We're aware and working on getting this fixed (for what it's worth, I ran into the same thing on my character last week).

Hey @ZOS_GinaBruno , how would you feel if one or all of your skill lines dropped from Rank 10 to 1 and all passives locked with one simple crash, and then have no way to fix it... being a level 44 Warlord that has used purge for years... but now cannot use Purge because the last crash took it from you and LOCKED it?

Playing right now is a gamble because there is a chance it can happen to you and everyone reading this.

Is there an ETA for a hotfix?

Clutch has worked flawlessly for me with one exception: in the new dungeon where one player gets a blue curse that must be cleansed (Lair of Maarselok, I think), my character had her front bar weapons disappear and ended up surfing on her back-bar bow after getting the blue glow.

Since Clutch only runs on zone change, if I understand it right, it didn’t autofix the bug in that case. As the add-on had been working just fine on its own, I didn’t have the manual keybind set, but I would think having that available would allow you to fix the issue on the fly in the middle of a dungeon. I just asked my group to wait ten seconds while I went into the Collections menu and toggled Hide Helmet. Fortunately I was running with friends at the time; I would hate to have to do that with a pug.

Well it is now January 1st, 2020 and it STILL IS NOT FIXED. Weapons still disappear. This has now gone on for THREE YEARS ZOS. Fix it. Really it is years past time for this to be fixed.

This is cause when you have secondary weapon equipped when switch instances. can un-equip, and re-equip to get it back.
no a fix, but playing air weapon can be irritating.

Murky_Dregs

this bug is awful. Kills immersion. Have been dealing with it for a long time now.

dkrolak

How long has it been and still no fix? And all this time and you guys are raking in the dough from your whales buying crown crates. ZOS, I'll make you a deal. Fix this and only then I'll consider buying some crown coins

Fix this please! This bug is super annoying when it occurs on a tank and it makes l/a weaving difficult to see (despite the only fix being to unequip then reequip the weapon, which I am sick of doing).

AboveLegends

Just FYI - this is still an issue almost 2 years later. Is there a resolution?

Oddly enough I only have this problem on 2 characters, both are Necromancer:
- On the stamina one - 2H front bar, bow back bar - when I change to back bar it looks as if he has no weapon equipped but if you look closely the bow is actually being dragged on the ground just behind the character model.
- On the stamina one - destro staff on both bars - I get the same staff model on both bars (Maelstrom) and the original staff model is also being dragged on the ground.
- Sometimes the bug occurs on both bars, for example I was in tanking gear 1H+S front bar and destro staff back bar, got ported into a dungeon, and all my weapons were displayed on the ground. I had to change gear back and forth to fix it, and that's usually what does it - I have an addon, so it only takes a key press.
The fact that only 2 out of 12 characters have this bug, and both are the same class, made me assume there's something in the skill animations that make this bug occur. So I tried leaving the pet (ex. guardian) expire, having all class buffs expire as well before changing area, but the bug still occurs from time to time, without any pattern.

Is there an official statement?

Knightpanther

This will never be fixed, just like the horse riding visual will never be fixed and the new constant blocking visual bug will never be fixed.

Go on ZOS prove me wrong cos your track record isnt very good.

Be safe

Could i be cheeky and ask that your character also gets the 'blocking' animation bug and that also gets fixed

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

I know you guys said you fixed this a few patches ago, but no it has not been fixed, and it is a pretty crucial thing y'know to have your animations and weapons show up correctly. Having this broke makes the game look bad.

This is happening more frequently to me on my dual-wield/bow character... 1st of April 2020, still getting this bug...

mimisapje

I find it quite amusing to be tanking without my shield


But in all seriousness, I'd like to see my weapons when fighting as I use them as a visual cue.

Septimus_Magna

For some reason my 2H weapon always disappears, with S&B, DW and staves I dont have any issues.

2 years ago and still happening. Feels like all the posts about performance improvements. Pls though fix that first, its just funny to see this comment is 2 years old rofl.

Asardes

Seems it's not limited to Necromancer. Made a Stam DK on NA just before Jester's, has the same problem. Oddly, my old characters, created before about April 2018 don't seem to suffer this issue.
