Randomly gaining weight!

[Conan, Cimmerian]

I´ve noticed this a few times now, I often micro manage inv so I´m close to the weight limit.

What happens is that I leave a shelter with for example 34.95 / 35 kg in the backpack, then I walk a few steps and suddenly I am at smth like 35.25 / 35 kg.

Without picking anything up, or eating anything, or doing anything besides just walking. I also checked if maybe my clothes got wet cause I thought that may be the issue but that is not it either.

Seems like a bug to me, unless I am missing smth.

Interesting. We'll pass this on. Do you find it happens in any place in particular or just whenever?

What mode are you playing and on what platform?

Thanks.

It happened in story mode on PC. I think during both episodes but I know that it happened in the second one, not 100% sure bout the first one anymore.

Edit: What I might have been doing is switching between/taking out weapons now that I think of it. But nothing else, and that should not affect weight.

I've seen something similar happening with clothes.
But I thought it was intended.
Mostly after traveling through Forlorn Muskeg...when the clothes are wet.
But it happened in other regions, too...only similarity was: The clothes were wet.

I've noticed before that this happens because of the weight of weapons.
Sometimes, the weight of munition inside your gun does not seem to 'count' after you leave a house, so the weight of your gun (in inventory) is 4.00 kg. As soon as you take it out, the munition inside it is counted too, so the weight of the gun jumps to 4.2 kg.

Hope this helps...

that could be it Christine, I will have a closer eye on it in the future.

This happened to me today. Left the mountaineers cabin in TM heading towards the farmhouse in PV. About 30 secs after getting loaded up and leaving the cabin with a full load I gained weight and had a sprain risk. Obviously a problem as I have to be able to climb down the rope to get back into PV. Dropped a stick. A little bit after climbing down the rope into PV my weight increased again. Had to drop another stick.
To clarify, I had high stamina, didn't pick up anything after my initial load up, and my max carrying capacity hadn't dropped (as my stamina was still high)
MY weight increased.
