Left weapon stop working after a while,like staff and bow

[Evchen]

A technical game question, or just a big question, or me ist just stupid I bought Elden ring someone here played it with K/M everything almost work fine, the problem is when I used my little sword or later I used a 2H weapon worked well but when I swap back to my staff , I can't use it I use my faust instead, first I was a Samurai there I couldn't use my bow changed char to astrology there I can't use my staff lol same problem when I swap weapon, is a bit frustrating for a game that cost some money, anyone have an Idea I'm will be greatfu

Here I used a TH-weapon no problem when I change back to my staff,I use fist,I removed the 2 handed option have two spells there and enough Stamina,but will try again,I had a repair trough Steam, Local files and will see what happens today :)

I give up:) I can use two swords,but not bow or staff,so I will try to find a char who use two swords :P

AHHHHH, it was specifically on your horse?
You can only use one weapon on horseback, this will be your right-hand weapon most of the time (E + LMB swaps so you use your left weapon instead, then you can switch back with E + RMB)

If you want to cast magic on horseback it's probably easier to have both the sword and staff in right-hand slots, so you can cycle between them with a single button.

Hey,nope I was on my two feet,never on my horse :) I know the swap with the E and back again,I started as a warrior,my 3rd try,but I did not change any weapons yet,but on my old char the Astrologer I could use 2 swords and one sword,but never my staff,I had everything 2 spells,stamina and focus :)

Thanks for your replies :) is option 2,yes I did change the arrows into 1,2,3 and 4. 1 and 2 are the left and right hand,I empty my right hand and hold only my staff,but I fist along :P, I found a old playstation controller I will try after my doggy walk to use that one,and see if the issue still there,but Iwanna say playing controller will take some hours to learn :P

Maybe try this:

Put all the equipment you use in your character's right hand for now - sword, staff, bow, whatever. Leave your left hand empty for now.

I think you are sometimes 2 handing, and sometimes not, and since that switches what buttons do, it gets confusing (2 handed staff in left hand will cast spells with a different button than the same staff in the same hand but 1 handed).

See if you can get comfortable with attacking, casting spells, shooting the bow, and 1 and 2 handing different things with just the right hand. Then once that's all worked out put stuff in your left hand again if wanted.

Hmm, this sounds like a really weird issue.

- You say that you can't use the staff when you switch back to it. Does any animation occur when you try to cast a spell or is there no visual feedback at all?

- Can you use the staff at all? Like just equipping the staff in yourinventory and casting a spell? Does it work left, right and two handed?

- In which slot did you put the staff? Right/left hand slot? When you switch weapons, your character no longer two hands and the left/right equipment will be in the respective hands.
For example, switching your left hand to your staff while two handing (not powerstancing) a weapon will result in having your prev. twohanded weapon in your right hand and the staff in your left (i.e. melee with LMB and casting with RMB). This goes of course vice versa

- You use the standard KB-M control scheme, right?

this sounds like your not meeting the requirements for the weapons, IE using the wrong spell, having too low faith/int depending, or not metting the staffs requirements.

you should take a screenshot of your status in game, it'd go a long way.

Further up I did some screenshot,and as an astrologer you start with a staff and 2 spells,but they wont work,they worked fine first part of the game,but I guess more spell you have to acquire later on right ?

I use keyboard and mouse since original Dark Souls with zero problems.

No controller needed although I don't know what issue you're having.

Not me either :D
