Weapon animation desync

Weapons are frequently desynchronizing in pvp (PC/NA). Reloading UI or teleporting clears this. It usually seems to appear for me after a congested action and I guess it's lag related.

It looks very amusing when you do a bow heavy attack with two axes but it makes combat much more difficult than it should be having to double check which bar you are on.

    I get this issue quite a bit as well. It appears to be a common, old issue that's never been addressed, as this isn't the first thread I've seen concerning it.

    Looks pretty funny when I'm cleaving heads with my bow and firing arrows out of my greatsword. Becomes much more problematic with my magsorc as I purposely used different styles for my destroy staff and resto staff, in order to easily see which bar I'm on, but when the bug hits they'll both look like they are the same style which really messes up my rotation as I second guess which bar I'm on.

    Here's an old thread back in September where I first posted my issues with this bug: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/437087/weapon-swap-bug

    And here's an even older thread from February on the same issue: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/397924/weapon-swap-bug-animation/p1

    I know its only a cosmetic bug, but when you're visually seeing your weapon from your other bar, it can seriously throw you off your game.

    The article back in February suggests the bug started with and is caused by the Outfit System released with Dragon Bones patch v3.3.5. I'd like to add that other things can cause it, such as switching weapon bars at the same time as mounting. It also sometimes triggers when entering new areas like Delves. Sometimes, especially with bows, once swapped the visuals of the weapon will have lost their attachment to the character sockets and will default to the character's root position (statically at their feet).

    I apologize for @-spamming everyone but as this bug has been known by the community for nearly a year now without a response that I've seen, I wanted to make sure ZOS was aware of it. Thanks!

    Helpful tip:

    Equipping/unequipping your outfit, exiting the character menu, performing 2 barswaps (to "reset" both bars), then equipping/unequipping the outfit back to your original state, will clear the issue.

    No need for anything as troublesome as zoning or /reloadui.
