Weapons Disappearing
I'm having an issue where I am holding the handgun and the crowbar, when I go up to pick up a grenade I completely lose either the crowbar or handgun. I thought maybe I can only hold two weapons at a time, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I tried to use the grenades to see if the crowbar would reappear, but it doesn't. I also tried to see if the weapon that I lost was on the ground, but again it is not.

Is this a feature of the game? If not how do I fix it? Everytime I pick up a new weapon if I am holding two, I lose one.

Mods? Which chapter?

Verify your game files and launch the game using +workshop_disable 1 and don’t use your old saves, start a new game on the chapter you’re on.

No mods, very first chapter. I get a scientist to unlock a security room, pick up the grenade and either my crowbar or handgun disappears from my inventory.

How do I utilize +workshop_disable 1? Also how to a verify the game files? Thanks for the help.

Right click the game in your library and select properties. You can put the launch setting to its field there and verify game files as well under the local files tap.

No such luck. Verified the game files, no issues. Added the +workshop_disable 1 and didn't do anything to help. Been less than 24 hours since I purchased the game, wonder if a refund is possible.

Restarted the campaign and ran into the same problem. Perhaps it is something to do with the controller only allowing two weapons to be accessed. The only way around my problem I found is to select the weapon I want via the keyboard's number keys. If I use the Xbox One controller I can only cycle through two weapons back and forth.

You should try restoring defaults in game settings to see if it helps. If it doesn’t, activate your game console in options under the game tap and type exec 360controller to the console. Try hud_fastswitch 2 if you can’t change weapons still using the d-pad.

Thanks for your help, but that didn't help either.

I can't really tell what could be wrong with your game without seeing how your key bindings are setup. It could be just very well your controller that's somehow not compatible with. If you can get a video about it, it'd be easier to tell what's the problem with you replicating the steps I had given you.

Hello, would you be able to share what kind of controller you are using? In addition, as MrZGrumpy mentioned above, if you could share a video of the issue for us to further assist you. Thank you.

I'm using an Xbox One Controller. I managed to find a work around by loading a controller profile. It isn't perfect, I can't cycle through weapons, but I can press the directional buttons to get to the weapon I want.
