Weapon switching delay bug

[B1ackjack]

When i switch weapons, there may occur a 2-3 seconds pause between holstering one gun and pulling out another. This happens mostly while in combat and can be quite punishing, especially in close quarters.

I get the same thing without hotkeys. I favorite all the weapons that I will be using and tap F with wasd to quickly pick my weapon. Sometimes there is a 3 second delay and sometimes not. Sometimes I won't draw it at all, but just select the weapon for the next time I decide to draw. Not sure what this is about, but I do have about 6 weapons favorited at the moment if that means anything.

Hotkeys seem very buggy currently

I get that and I use a controller, I thought it was because I was selected the same weapon twice, thus putting it away. The solution seems to be to switch to something else and back quickly.

Yeah this bug has cost me many times, with failing to change or ready weapon fast enough. Its more painfull when you fast travel and sometimes can't ready any weapons for atlest 2-3 seconds.. during that time you get guned down by raiders that randomly spawned right next to the fast travel spot.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's a simple loading issue, the game takes a few seconds to pull the textures and meshes into memory. I've noticed it as well, even running from an SSD.

It's not just that, the whole character goes into a wierd state. Foot steps stop registering and everything. The character keeps moving, but it's like it's stopped interacting with the world until the gun comes in, and sometime it comes in at stages, the hand will come up holding nothing, and a few seconds later the gun appears. I've had gun swaps with hotkeys take 10+ seconds. Luckily it's not super common.

I notice this is especially relevant to me when I pull out my rifled as opposed to my 10mm, it may possibly be based on weight?

Quicksave go to main menu and reload. I've had that happen 3 times now and I've managed to fix it each time.

I *think* it has something to do with item memory, how it's storing all the stuff you've interacted with so far during play, and when you unload then reload it resets whatever it is.

I've seen some similar issues but nothing this severe yet :o I've had the empty hand thing (or hotkey simply not responding) a few times though.

For me it's really just a weapon lag. I can move normally while waiting for the gun. But still..

Im getting this too. The delay can get pretty bad sometimes, And it keeps me from sprinting. One of the bigger bugs ive experienced so far
