Problems with the weight bench

[degausser]

So the new weight bench lets you press weights for a bit to get a temporary buff of +2 to strength. Great right Did it yesterday, worked great? Well now my character can't use it at all. If I try to use it it just says "This item is not currently available for use?" Is this a bug? Is there a cooldown? I've been playing for a few hours today and always the same thing. Anyone else encountering this? Is it a bug? Is there some weird behind-the scenes like, weekly limit or something?

Maybe try to store it in your camp inventory and reinstall it ... , work for me when I want to use something in my camp and it's not available immediately ...

Ah, apprantly the buff stacked with itself, so Bethesda disabled it while they fix it. Good to know.

I don´t know what to think about it. If there is a bug that makes players stronger they are almost immediatly disabling that, but all the challenge bugs aren´t getting fixxed.

I suspect it is a matter of ease and time. Pouring through the code to find the one command that doesn’t work is gonna take a while. Making it so the weight bench is ‘unavailable,’ is super easy and likely took five minutes.

You may be right about it, but it would the bench press would do no harm, at least not in PvE.

I dunno, it wouldn’t surprise me if the code broke down if someone passed 40 strength or something.
