I play on Steam with keyboard and mouse, most recent version
Recently I havent been able to use weapons. I drop it on the ground, move it in my hot bar, even sold and bought a new weapon. No matter what I can't swing it. If I close the game and come back it works for a little while and then goes back to being useless.

Hi @celest lagoon , thanks for reaching out to us! We have received similar reports regarding this issue here https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1430487411128795156 and we are currently checking on it! 
As a temporary workaround, if you’d like to continue mining (especially for combat-related activities), please do so outside of the Winter Festival hours (before 5 PM or after 12 AM). Based on our current findings, this issue only occurs during the festival period.
If you still prefer to mine during that time, you can also set your Combat Mode to “Hit to Aggro”, so monsters won’t attack you by default, and you won’t need to use your weapon.
We truly appreciate your patience and support while the team works on a fix. Please feel free to follow the thread for any updates regarding the issue!
