Annoying bug

[shrewd basalt]

There is annoying bug where we can't switch item or open bag, and while charging hammer my character walk slow-mo unless i load the game, please fix ASAP

I stopped using the hammer because of this bug, when you charge it to do the swing attack from it, you'll keep walking slow until you reload the save

I can attest to this. I just encountered this bug.

Hello @hot tulip @spark bloom @shrewd basalt Could you tell us which platform you're playing from (Steam PC/Deck, Xbox PC/S/X, PlayStation 5) and your current game version?

Also, if you could replicate the issue, could you please share a video or the step-by-step process of how you triggered the issue? It will greatly assist us in our investigation!

I'm on Steam and on the latest version. From what I recall, it happened when I was in the caves, and held right-click to prepare an attack with the hammer, and then I think I switched items and it started there. My character would move at the speed of the charging hammer position, and I noticed that every time I used the charged hammer attack to move around faster back to the house, my character would move slower and slower after each one until they were essentially stuck in place unless I used the hammer or a sword attack to move myself. It didn't fix until I reloaded the save from the menu.

So I imagine its some sort of movement speed modifier that's looping itself or is stuck being toggled, and that stacks over itself everytime its used until the player's speed is so slow, it reaches zero.

It doesn't just happen when switching while charging. I just used the hammer since i got it from a chest, and after letting it finish animation it put me on slow movement. This was in the 1.0 version aswell an issue already, thought it would have been fixed by now.

This happens quite often for me too with the hammer. I'm on Steam, PC, Linux through Proton (so essentially like a SteamDeck). All I need to do is accidentally hit the right mouse button, it starts charging or something, then I'm moving really slowly. I've sometimes managed to mess with it until I get my speed back, but sometimes charging it again makes me unable to move at all, after that point.

Someone had posted a "fix" like a year ago for that, and that did seem to fix it, but it's awkward when you're in the middle of the mines.

I'll summarize u/Ok_Voice4021 from the Reddit post's steps:

1. Try to get your golden hammer -> charge attack a few times.
2. Open your chest
3. Put golden hammer and silver sword in the chest
4. Replace the slot where you use the golden hammer with the silver sword.
   Now you had the silver sword in the hand and your movement speed fixed.

Anyway, please do fix this too, because it's rather nasty when it happens, which is... a lot. I do accidentally press the right mouse button by accident a lot. Hair trigger mouse that's too small for my hand. lol

I can probably get a video of it later.

I would guess somewhere in the code, it's modifying the speed, but not restoring it correctly, during the charged attack.

Ok, I did record it. Was having trouble recreating it, but I get it now.

If I hold the right mouse button, and it starts to charge, then click the left mouse button relatively quickly, it swings, but the glow of the charge stayed, and it made me slow.
I did it again, then I couldn't move at all.

Note that when you see the swing after it's already charging, that's when I clicked the left mouse button (while still holding the right mouse button).

Seems like that'd be a help for tracking it down. Here's hoping!

Perhaps left click regular attack isn't cancelling the charged attack properly (including restoring the speed).

Now I must restart because I'm stuck in place. lol

It also happens when you just charge the hammer (the basic first one you got, and the sus hammer aswell) normally and let the charged attack happen. You swing in circles and half of the time you walk slowly.

Could you send your Save File here so we can take a closer look into the issue, @weary kite ?

[weary kite]

Sure thing! Let me find out where it is, and I'll get that for you shortly. Guess the fact that I'm in-game won't be an issue, you'll just get the last sleep save.

There you go. Hope that's helpful.
