Pistol reloading animation stops midway whenever not in combat for multi shot pistols

[Pancake]

I have the same issue with this guy in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/289650/discussions/1/2999925876017325813/

Essentially whenever my pistol is not fully loaded (e.g 8/9 shots, 2/9 shots, 1/2 shots) it refuses to reload when I press the reload button (using the default R button, tried changing keybind to Y and X too). It starts playing the animation where Arno pulls the gun out but then he immediately puts it back. It doesn't matter if I click once, spam or hold. I have tried reloading while walking, running, behind cover, while aiming and in combat. Reloading works when I am behind cover, while aiming and in combat, but refuses to work properly when out of combat. I have tried verifying game files as well. I have had it work once or twice when out of combat and I don't know what the trigger condition is. Please advise. I suspect it might be because the lantern for dead kings is mapped to the same button as reload? But I have also tried making a new save without starting dead kings and there is still the same issue.

Can't reload guns (animation stop midway)

Hi,

It might looks stupid, but I can't fast reload guns in this game after I shot with it.
When I press reload, Arno pull out his gun, then put it back without doing nothing.

Sometime it works and he will reload, but it seems completly random.
If I manually aim and try to shoot, he will reload.

Does someone has the same problem and know how to reload without that bug please ?

Hey there StereoGang,

Sorry to hear you're having issues!

Could you please try verifying the game files[ubi.li] and if the issue persists, please provide a video demonstrating this

Thank you!

Hi,

Thx for the answer,

I can't verify the game's files with Steam as I actually possess the game on Uplay and not Steam. I don't know if the same verification is possible with Uplay.

For the video of the bug, i did a small one that you can find here : https://youtu.be/8_-rxnjudtw

And last : after a few tests, it seems that the problem occurs only after a quick shot (L1 on an auto targeted enemi). Arno won't reload the gun himself after shotting, and pressing the reload action seems bugged. It doesn't happen with the manual aim shot, where Arno auto reload the gun after the shot. It is also how I did at the end of the video : tried to shot manually and it start the reload animation.

Thx !

Sorry for the delayed response, StereoGang. You can verify your game files on Ubisoft Connect as well, following the steps on this support article[support.ubi.com].

In your video, I can see that you're trying to quick shot, but there's no targeted enemy. Would you be able to try this when trying to shoot an enemy?

Hello,

Sorry for my own late reply.
I did Uplay's files verification but it didn't found anything. I got the message telling me every things works fine : https://zupimages.net/up/21/03/qche.png

I did try in combat : it works perfectly fine with a targeted enemy. If I engage a fight with an unreloaded gun or if I use it then try reloading, it will always work as intended.

As soon as their is no more enemy tho, that's where the reloading gets stuck. In the menu, I use the "reload button" (either R on keyboard or L1 on xbox pad) and it will works sometimes, but most of the time I won't be able to. :/

Hi ♠♦Keynes♦♠,

Sorry to hear you appear to be having this same issue and you're unable to reload.

If you've verified the game files and this has had no effect, could you please let us know if mapping reload to another button/key helps?

Thanks,
- Ubisoft Support

Hi,

I also have this problem and i need help, i have tried every method above but none was working.
*Note: i also noticed that this reloading bug has no affect on rifles where you can reload on demand, not as multi-shot pistol getting stuck at the animation, refusing to reload. This sucks

[Pancake]

I have the same problem as well, tried remapping keys, verifying game files, changing guns, using rifle, reloading when aiming, reloading when behind cover, in combat etc. It works when in combat, behind cover or in aiming mode. Rifles also reload as intended, but pistols, especially the gold plated pistol seems to refuse to reload. Arno just pulls out gun and puts it back. Please help fix

Hey there.

Sorry to hear about this.

Have you tried remapping the keys to see if this helps at all?

Hi, i apologize for the late reply. Remapping keys seems to be not helping, i even tried reinstalling ACUmany times but still doesnt work, i tried the quick reloading on both keyboard and controller, remapped keys, etc... but still hopeless. Help us please

Hi, I got this same reload bug which I never had before (it's the third time I do the game), did someone succeed to fix it or not ?

[Schlemihl]

How can I get rid of this bug? Tried all the methods mentioned above and nothing worked. It's really frustrating, forcing me out of this game

[Redthorne]

I've found today a solution. This happens to me if i have a multi barrel pistol. So i switched it with a single barrel pistol (french cavalry pistol), shot one round and see the animation works as it should be, i shot another round and everything worked fine, then went back to the multi barrel gun (gold plated pistol) shot a round then pressed "R" (i'm on pc) and 'voila' that solved the problem for me

[Soupe]

Ohhh so nice thanks for the answer !
