watchwolf1 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've noticed a strange problem. When adding items to the Quick Keys I find that bows won't stay put, so to speak. Linking a sword or arrows, for instance, then accessing them in-game works fine... except for bows. I can link a bow to a QK, and access it once. But if I switch weapons using the QKs and try to go back to the bow I find that the link is broken and I have to pick it off the Favorites list again. So far this has happened with any kind of bow. I do hope it's not just me doing something stupid. I tend to doubt that since all other items (so far) work just fine. I also hope I have not repeated an issue already discovered and brought to light. FYI for troubleshooting purposes, I am playing the PC version.

UtherOrange Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I am having the EXACT same quick key issue this fellow is having . I can quick key anything, but bows won't stay quick keyed......weird . This is an actual bug I want to report. Try it yourself. You'll see. It will quickkey one time, and after that you can't quickkey back to the bow. at all......you have to re-set the quick key. I've noticed a strange problem.

kittytoaster Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've seen this one reported before, though I'm having trouble to reproduce the bug in my game. First things first, make sure you don't have multiple copies of the same-spec weapons. eg. two Ebony Bow's showing up as Ebony Bow (2) in your inventory. If this is the case and having a single copy of an item removes the bug, you can improve the weapon using the grindstone to make an unique copy of it (unless its enchanced and you don't have the perk required) or just try to keep only 1 copy. And if that fails... For troubleshooting purposes, can you try switching to-and-from some other two-handed weapons and other types of bows and tell us the exact setup of your QK's? As far as the mechanics go, this is quite odd. Seems as if the bow get's refitted into the inventory once you select other weapons. Does the link also break when you select other weapons via the favourites menu, not the other QK's? Might be some placement logic bug with the quivers when trying to switch from bow and arrows to a greatsword for example. You could try dropping the bow in some safe cell, leaving the cell and coming back to pick it up, but that's just address-voodoo. Dropping would be preferred as it clears the favored-tag. Hope any of this was helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHead Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yeah, I have this problem. Getting rid of duplicates works around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
