double tapping Alt doesn't holster pistol.

[loafhimself]

Anyone else find that holstering the pistol is not possible? Anyone know of a possible fix?

it's really finicky and weird. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. i have the same problem with crouching.

I can holster any other weapon just fine, but pistol just goes to the next weapon lol, i even tried the pistol in different weapon slots and no dice. Crouching feels like a far bigger problem though lol

Yep. For crouch, I found out the game doesn't always take in consideration that I changed the keybinding for Crouch toggle to Ctrl and it still behaves like Ctrl is Hold while C is toggle.

Sounds like something might have glitched. In a previous patch i had weapon-1 glitch out in a different way, it could shoot from the hip, but if you aimed, no bango, mouse-1 did nasing. Weapons 2 and 3 worked like normal.

When this happened i also had the HUD glitch out, normally you'll see a little list of avalible commands in the bottom right corner (if you're holstered it just says "ALT unholster", if you unholster you'll get a list like "Mouse1 shoot, mouse-2 aim, mouse-4 bash"), and that was stuck on the combat display (so even if i holstered, it woulden't say "ALT unholster", it had the whole Mouse-1 mouse-2 mouse-4 stack and was just stuck on that). Is the HUD gliching in some way like that for you?


I also found cause for my glitch, when i was given the revolver by River Ward i upgraded it whilst it was still marked as a quest item, and that caused the whole glitchyness.

In general I find the keyboard input to be flaky in this game. It seems to miss key-presses alot. If a bunch is going on on screen for example, it'll miss key presses.

gotta tap it really fast.

I do not think it's the game code itself which has the problem. I think it's something about the alt key on some people's systems.

Or: I had this issue. I changed the key and I stopped having the problem.

NGL, when I read "Double Tapping Alt", I thought we were talking about Silverhand's love life.

And I thought it was just me who was double-alting in some ineffably wrong way...

Never had any of the more involved bugs, but it does seem pretty random whether or not double-alt brings up the next weapon or holsters the current one. It seems to switch between a slot 1 gun and slot 3 melee sometimes too.

It's a bit twitchy for me, usually the first time it will switch weapons and the second time it will holster.

Tapping Alt without holstering a pistol is something Johnny would definitely do.

It's easy to not doubletap it fast enough (then it switches gun instead of holstering, tap = switch, doubletap = holster), because the Alt key is in a terrible position for a doubletap, your thump basically has to be curled up under your hand to reach it, which is fine for pressing it, but not great for doubletapping quickly.

The OP seems to have problems with it not working at all for weapon-1, so that's a different issue.

I've done some research and apparently its the “ON THE FLY” perk under hand guns that brings this stupid frickin bug. I'm gonna make a thread so that in case anyone experiences this they will find that too.

Do not max out this on the fly thing or you will probably get this damn bug.
