Weapons taking forever to swap

[You wouldnt download a BEAR]

Is anyone else experiencing this? It happens randomly, sometimes when I switch weapons it will take like 5-10 seconds for the weapon to change. It's especially frustrating in combat when you need to switch weapons quickly. Is this intended or is it a bug? If it's a bug, are there any known fixes? Googling the problem brings up nothing

Yes, I've notcied this as well. It's very annoying.

Indeed. I started geting this problem after i modified my baseball bat with razor blades. Now, when i switch too or from that weapon, its like it changes weapon, but the weapon does not loade. I've found trying to re-equip the weapon to be the only way to make this bug go away... and that still takes like 2-3 sec b4 it loads correclty.

It will happen to me for any gun or weapon it seems

same here, sometimes the weapon model dissapears as well and have to go in and out of 3rd person to bring it back

Same issue here. The weapon swap is sometimes incredibly slow; takes about 10 seconds for it to finally bring out my other weapon. Incredibly awful when you need to make a snap-change in a fire fight.

I get this problem with annoying frequency.

[Ronald Raygun]

Same here, think it might have something to do with weapons that have modifications, but can't tell for sure.

[Allexio]

definitely an issue that needs fixing. we're not the only ones who have this problem.

The only bug I've experienced so far (except a CTD which was caused by Steam itself due to a Steam update - nothing connected to the game obviously) but I'm affected too.

From what I've seen in my 64 hours until now is, that this seems to become more frequent, the longer the game session is running but this can be totally wrong and based on my own perception.

In generall I can't even say that it is frequent, sometimes in happens nearly every time, sometimes I ain't got this issue for hours.

This really needs to be adressed ASAP in a patch as this, even if only happening once, can kill you (playing on survival).

I am having the same problem. I have most of my weapons modded.

I also realized that when the weapon is finally loaded, if you change to the previous one, and the back, is quicker. I mean, if you swap to a recently used weapon, it does not happen (they are being cached or something).

This is absolutely game breaking. It is my biggest problem for now.

bringing up the pip boy seems to speed the loading up for me

Yeah it was a huge oversight for bethesda, it seems it's because the weapon needs to load and the mods on it so it is the same as loading multiple weapons at one time for the earlier games which the engine was not designed to handle.

I love it when I switch to another weapon, only for my character to hold them invisibley.The sole survivor may have some of the worst dialog options in Fallout history, but he/she makes for a pretty good mime.

I have died numerous times to this

Having the same problem here, when I go to swap weapons my character is left holding nothing for 2 - 7 seconds. Gets really obnoxious real quick.
