Bow auto firing help?

[Murmr]

Finally got the ash long bow, it requires 17 strength and 11 agility, i have 21 strength and 14 agility, yet Henry still auto fires it as if i don't have the right stats, i tried restarting the game, and i don't have any debuffs, what is going on?

Are you playing with a controller or keyboard? I got some issue with a controller, I fix it by moving my mouse a little then it fix the controller.

It fix the bow auto fire and switching weapon bug.

This happens when your strenght is too low. I know it looks like you have enough to equip the bow but believe me this issue will dissappear once you level strength more.

A good way to do this is doing archery tournaments at the gamekeepers house. They´ll level up your archery skill, agility and strength pretty fast and you can earn some coin on top of that.

keyboard, it isnt a hardware issue, other bows work just fine

what are the stat requirements even for then? how much more strength do you need? other bows haven't required me to have higher stats than posted

Make sure your not accidentally clicking somehow

if its pc sometimes if your holding click the mouse is old and damage and actually releases click despite you holding it down

get a button tracker and hold down mouse to see if its actually holding down when you hold it

I don´t know how much more you need for each and every bow but I know I had the same problem when using my bow despite having enough strength to equip it and while I was doing archery tournaments to level up I got a level up in strength and suddenly my guy was able to normaly hold the bow on full draw instead of releasing right away.

Maybe there is a 'bug' with that bow, where is calcualte your true skill (without buff).

That why you see you have enough but still act like you dont. I'm just guessing.

Got 23 base strength, actually 26 with passive perks. I'm not sure if it's a strength thing. Use a Strong or Henry's Artemisia and you should see if it's really strength-related or just a bug.

I had similar problems with a different bow and had no explanation. Got the Ash Longbow from Kuttenberg yesterday, which works fine.

Most of the time it's people not understanding the stat requirements of the bow, but on Warhorse's website under known issues there is a bug mentioned about bow misfiring like that when it isn't supposed to, so I suppose it will be patched out soon. Not sure why it comes up for some, but not most people.

19 base Strenght, bow requires 17... sometimes i can hold it sometimes not. maybe the strength required is another value as showed?

This bug has been reported already a while back.
I guess the tool tip is wrong or the str is not correctly applied to use bows,
I had this bug also early game but it fixed itself later in game.
