Why do I have to keep switching weapons to loot mobs now

Hope this gets fixed soon.

I doubt ZOS is even aware of it, or if they are, it's probably working as intended.

@ZOS_Kevin and @ZOS_GinaBruno can you explain what was changed in Update 38 that has introduced this new bug?

Thank you.

@jtm1018 maybe try a heavy attack, it doesnt have to be at anything in particular. i find thats another method that helps me out with this bug

Speaking of heavy attacks, does anyone experience issues when mid combat you just stand there, point at an enemy, press the left mouse button (or whatever you bound to HA), and HA is just not firing? I have a lot of that lately and have to roll dodge to resolve the issue.

Yes, and especially in Cyrodiil. They have been making changes to fix one broken thing (bar swapping, roll dodging, inability to use skills after blocking, etc), but it usually breaks something different in the process.

I can't imagine how heavily modified the original code has become after all these years of tinkering. I would guess that bugs will only become more and more common with all the fallout from the various changes. I think a lot of us originally thought the "code rewrite" that was promised would be a rebuilding of it from the ground up, but the description has been modified over time to "server side hyperthreading," and things similar. But the amount of user noticed bugs (based upon observation of forum and in-game feedback) has remained the same, or increased.

This is happening frequently when I'm in a dungeon or Bastion Nymic. Since I use Oakensoul for these, I had to switch rings, then switch weapons to be able to loot or open doors. I accidentally discovered dodge-rolling fixed the problem. For some reason, it happens less often when I'm just doing quests or exploring. This isn't a new problem, but it's now far more frequent.

This is one of those bugs that has been around for years, but is much worse since the Necrom update.

It is very frustrating and annoying.

Good luck to the devs finding and fixing this problem.

What we don’t have a date for is the second incremental. The banner indicates it won’t be coming two weeks after the first.

I just had this trying to go through the door to my base in IC.

Yes! Not sure if it is a creative new bug, like the unable to interact, or some odd condition caused by something between me and my target.

Yep. Happening a lot now. Have not tried the roll dodge for it, but will now.
