Gltch where DAM/DPS skyrockets

[kevkiev]

been plagued by a bug over the past few weeks where the DAM/DPS of my weapons will go way up, seemingly out of the blue. Sometimes as low as by 25% but on occasion by as much as 50% or more. When it happens, even vendor & NPC weapons are affected. (e.g. I'm in Honest Hearts atm and recently noticed that a 50% condition brush gun that I looted off a white leg had DAM of 126, and that's when I noticed that all my other weapons were similarly wonked out).

 

I thought it might have something to do with AWOP as a couple times ago when that happened I disable AWOP and everything went back to normal. But djmystro, mod author, mentioned he'd never seen that before and I indeed couldn't find any related posts in the AWOP comments thread or anywhere else on the nexus (or the web) So I'm not sure. At this point, I suspect it might even have something to do with autosaves or my habit of doing the F5/F9 thing too often. (Especially with lockpicking cuz I suck at it - just downloaded an auto-force mod to alleviate that.) And, oh man, I think I'd probably live with the bug if the alternative was to ditch AWOP. I just love tthat mod.

 

Anyone else ever run into something similar?

update: gets even weirder. Happened again (without any quick, auto or manual saves from the last time I checked), so I went back to a previous save. While all weapons were normal, I ran my cursor over the Riot Shotgun and it showed DAM of 11.9x7 and the Riot Shotgun M (AWOP) showed 12.8x7. But when I equipped the Riot Shotgun M, it changed to a flat 75 DAM and running my cursor over the vanilla RS showed 10.0x7. When I equipped the vanilla RS, it showed 11.9x7 again while the RS M showed 11.9x7 again. This is really weirding me out.

I have noticed a similar thing in the past. I believe it has to do with whatever current weapon and ammunition combo you currently have equipped somehow reflecting on the values of non equipped weapons when viewed in barter or in items screens .I have observed that it does not actually affect the true values of the weapons dam /dps as they will revert to their true value when equipped as the weapon in use. I hope this sheds some light on your situation .

Thanks for the reply. It's good just to know this isn't entirely unique.

 

In a fit of... some kind of fit, I guess... I did a complete reinstall last night and am just about to reload my saves and mods. I figure I'll just live with it if it happens again.
