Melee weapon bugged

[Stonewool Jackson]

Alright, so i got the game running fine -which, looking through the forum seems to be quite an achievement already-

Except, occasionally she will refuse to take out her knife, when pressing m1 she takes out the peppergun (doesn't fire it) and just stands like that, I can still fire the peppergun normally with m2 and placing timebombs works too.

I've already tried binding different keys for the melee attack- none of which worked differently than the default one. So far the issue seems to be fixed when i restart the game, but as y'all ought be able to understand; that's not something I appreciate doing in a game without a manual saving feature.

Yeah, that's sometimes a problem. It's an old game, and it glitches a lot. I myself am struggling to start up the game right now (EA won't accept the key code), but I used to play it on my brother's steam all the time. I would have that problem a lot, but the only thing that seemed to work was restarting. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, that's just all I know. If you know anything that can fix my problem, I'll be eternally grateful.

Well, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to discuss this on a steam forum- but do you know what key generators are? Essentially, it's a program ''pirates'' can use to generate random code lines which use the same algorythm as the activation codes for the game it was made for. Now, what I'm assuming is that one of them generated your code- rendering it useless to you.

And this is gonna sound rather controversial, but honestly the only ''fix'' I can think of is for you to get one of those generators and get a new one.

Thanks for the advice. I was talking to my brother about it after over an hour of trying the same thing, and he fixed it for me. I'll try to remember that if something similar happens again.

i was also having this problem where alice refused to use the vorpal blade while using keyboard and mouse. After I started using a ps4 controller though i haven't run into this problem anymore. I would assume using an xbox controller would have the same results. Using a controller will also make some of the harder fights much easier.

Interesting, I'll be sure to give it a try.
