Unnable to attach some weapon to my belt - B42.12
Hi all, my first post, don't be rude with me. Recently I updated to build 42.12, I had a lot of error but uninstalling/installing again some mods, the game worked fine. But, when aI find some weapons like a 1-hand axe or the police baton (Sorry if these names are no accurate, I play in spanish), they cannot be attached in the belt and need to equip them manually in pimary or secundary hand.

My question, has anyone else had the same problem? Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks so much for your help, enjoy the game!

I'm not seeing this issue.
If this is an old save then it might be a save conversion issue. The devs won't investigate save conversion issues for beta drops. They will just ask you start a new save.

It could also be your mods. Try disabling them and see if the problem goes away.
Started a fresh save and having the same problem. I can right-click on my belt slot to add it, but it doesn't let me do it on the item itself
Yes i encountered the same problem in my new 42.12 save but with paring knife.
Also i can't no longer see food making/cooking progress, meaning when i cook i can't see what ingredients i already used and then no cook progress bar when on stove. Anyone else?
Glad to know I'm not alone in this. Can't equip a bunch of random things now. - Also my map is completely broken and it's just blank and spams errors. Both with and without mods.
It has to do with the most recent update and your mods, everyone.

You can't right click to attach weapons. But you can still left-click and drag them to their slots on the hotbar.

Let the modders fix their stuff. This update broke a LOT of stuff.
I haven't been able to put a pistol into my ankle holster, but belt is working otherwise (42 vanilla)
Anyone here unable to equip certain clothes from dead zomboids?
I encountered such bug when my save was updated from 11 to 12, and it never went away, so had to ditch it, unfortunately. On new saves this issue doesn't persist anymore.
yea it happened to me without any mods with the police nighstick , you cna drag it to the bar and attachs but when you right clikc on it an error pops up and has no attach button as it had. on .11 save and new .12 save
Uninstall Common Sense and Reinstall it. I first fixed the issue by disabling Common sense. later I unistallled common sense and reinstalled. it worked for me

Some mods basically become embedded and will actually require you to completely uninstall the game, making sure to delete any left over files and reinstall. I am not seeing this issue myself, so I'm sure it's mod related in one way or another.
seems to be related to the recent changes in folders structure and steam workshop not properly deleting old folders of the mods as always :)
I'm having this issue with everything including guns. I haven't found an exception so far and when I right-click on something I should be able to put on back/belt/holster it increments two errors.
@Nesano try disabling mods if you have any, this patch basically "broke" any mod until authors update.
I can't find a describable pattern yet. I blew my mods away and reinstalled the game, then I could attach on back/belt/holster anything as long as I right-clicked on the thing I'm attaching it to, but it wouldn't work from the item itself. After a few minutes, that stopped working, but I'm still able to attach a baseball bat to my back from the item or the back itself and I'm able to attach a katana to my back from the back but not the katana. ♥♥♥♥'s broke.

I'm also straight-up not able to sharpen things anymore, even on blades that don't have a handle condition to get in the way.
