When are they going to fix the bow sneak attack damage?

[Frostbot]

No matter if I hit the head, if I hit them from behind, reequip bow and arrows, re sneak, I still get 1x damage no matter what. And no, its not a visual text glitch, because I can reload my save and get the 3x to hit properly and outright kill the target. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Look, it's a 'shadow dropped' outsourced 'remaster' they've apparently been working on since 2021, what more do you want?

Just play the broken slop, dang.

I get sneak attack x3 constantly on bow sneak attacks

i have only ever gotten the 1x from failing to fully draw the bow and have replicated it multiple times now.

you sure you're holding the draw long enough?

I can confirm that I am also fully drawing the bow. Doesn't matter how long I hold left click. It is always inconsistent.

then it's a bug and it only appeared to me when i tested not drawing the bow fully lmao

and no im not being insincere, it's really clearly a bug and i really only ever saw it when i didn't fully draw lmao.

Stealth is completely broken.

The game looks great but runs worse than the original.
Pathetic really. [/quote]

I think the 1x sneak attacks usually happen when the eye is not fully closed.

I've never seen a 1x with the eye fully closed, it's always when it opens most of the way and I plunk them with an arrow then I see the 1x multiplier.

Which kinda-sorta makes sense, if they suspect there's someone nearby, they're more alert and so you don't get the sneak attack bonus.

Weird, I play a stealth sniper and I have never seen it NOT be 3x damage. Must be a bug.

Nope.

I've experienced the 1X on fully closed tiny eye mode, multiple times.
I've gotten the 3X with a summon attacking an enemy, shooting from a clearly visible spot.

None of this is true.

[Morgian]

In my opinion it depends on distance. I get x3 at long range shots and x1 when close to them.

It also happens when eye is fully closed. As I said, it is inconsistent and broken. I can reload a save multiple time, and no matter the conditions, I cannot get 3x to consistently happen.

It's interesting, the only weapon that does 1X, are the two handed weapons, is the game somehow confusing the bow with a two handed weapon?

[esuriddick]

It sounds stupid, but I have been able to surpass the x1 sneak attack damage by equipping the bow directly from inventory instead of using an Hotkey. Maybe I was lucky, or maybe equipping from hotkeys/favourites is causing the issue. Give it a try at least.

[Bored Peon]

Honestly, I think the X1 is display error and it is doing X3 damage as it should be doing.
