Melee/unarmed attack not working while in 1st person view

[Agent-37]

Got this strange bug where I can't attack at all with a melee or unarmed weapon while in first person view. Not sure what's causing the issue.

Since you don't say whether you're using any mods, or what your system specs are, what fps and what resolution you're running... kinda hard to help.

Are you using any CC weapon mods you got from bethesda? I know that at least one of those causes some odd invisibility issues with weapons textures.

Do you have your pipboy? are you able to use those weapons with vats in 3rd person?

Also melee weapons have speeds: slow, medium, fast, very fast. If you're using a slow weapon the enemy will always get first shot so your action is wasted. Time your shots well and your melee will succeed.

those are the system specs I have. Does that help?

Yes, I am able to use it in VATS and Third Person, just not 1st Person for some bizarre reason. Power Attack works though.

I have exactly the same issue and no idea what mod it is. Post your mod list, my is here: https://pastebin.com/g5Rrf0WS

Some notes:

- Melee power attacks work fine, but like OP, left mouse primary click melee doesn't work
- All F4SE plugins are running including Buffout 4 engine fixed and that like
- All plugins have been cleaned as per guides
- Synthesis is NOT active
- LOD and FOLIP plugins are correctly disabled as per the guide (everything is working perfectly which is awesome)
- Majority of plugins are ESL, only about 150 or so active esp or esm plugins.
- LO is LOOT and also manually adjusted, no ITM issues or warnings of concern

I've heard any mod that changes movement speed of player character can cause this? Not that I am aware any of my mods do this. Everything else is flawless. I assume you didn't fix your issue, unless you did?

My system is I5-10600K, 16GB RAM, GTX 3060Ti, all SSDs and F4 is running on an NVMe.

Sorry for the necro post but did anyone find a fix

Ran into this too. Not sure if you guys are running the Sneaky Kills mod but removing that fixed my melee for me.

I got it too, anyone?

I was having the same issue. I'm running 129 mods at the moment and after messing around trying to find the problem, turns out that "Extended Weapons Systems" framework was the one. I disabled the mod and it's plugin via Vortex and that's it, first person melle back again :)

+1 for "Extended Weapons Systems" (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/48834?tab=bugs). Removing EWS from my LO fixed problem,

Also note that this is listed as bug on the EWS mod nexus page.
