Character bugged. Weapons swap no longer working.

Gamertag: KataclyzmiK
Character: Klyzx
Level: 24

Issues:
Weapon swap doesn't work.
Can't assign skills on the skill screen. Weapon swap option doesn't work here either
When assigning a weapon to backup main hand and off hand, the main hand weapon remains checked and will show checked when looking at main hand and off main hand.

Note: I recently reset my skills and attributes at the alter and this is when I noticed the issue. Had no issues prior to resetting skills and attributes. This is only happening on one character. On my other character I'm able to do weapon swap. II tried resetting my skills again and I still have the same issue

    Almost identical issue as OP, Can't weapon/bar swap, character won't go into sneak. Tried all sensible methods other than deleting character.

    Front Bar: running 4pc infallible aether (inferno staff), Backbar is a vMA lightning, problem was not there until i visited Outfitting stn (have no outfit equipped). attempting bar swap just makes character stow the equipped weapon.

    Reported this issue in game using the tool available and have not received so much as an automated reply or even an aknowledgment in other threads that you know (or actually care) that this issue exists (that kind of says a lot in my opinion). I also reckon I'm wasting my time typing this out tbh.

    You need a better function for bug reporting OR at least a message from a staff member to acknowledge that you have read the reports and are looking into it, its the polite thing to do.

    • Equip a different weapon in each slot
    • Try relogging into the game
    • Spam the attack button

    Equip a different weapon in each slot Tried that, does not change the situation one bit, tried Duel Wield, different staffs, removing costume, removing and replacing weapons, respec of skills so that ability bars become empty etc Nothing changed at all.

    Try relogging into the game Very first thing I did, and i've relogged into the game everyday also.. no change

    Spam the attack button Tried that, but lets be honest even if that had worked would you consider it a fix?, The problem is the weapon swap function is bugged and needs fixing properly asking the user to "spam buttons" is not fixing the root cause.

    Used the report facility that ZOS provide ingame, received no reply as i said above in an earlier post in this thread and still have received no reply not even an automated one. At least you took the time to reply to this thread though so thats something I suppose. as you can tell i'm not quite happy that spamming a button could be considered a fix, that support has not even sent out an acknowledgement of my initial report

    Spam the attack button... So you can kick us from the game for spamming a button...you've got to be kidding me?

    Was having this issue, here's what fixed it for me and hopefully will work for you too. Unequip both main and backup weapons. With no weapons equipped, go into your skills, press weapon swap a few times. Now go and equip your weapons. For me this fixed multiple issues I was having with equipping weapons, weapon swap, attributes not showing, etc. Hope it works for someone else!
