cobweb duster stuck

[the big gamer]

I first encountered the bug in milkman's conspiracy. I use the duster on a web, it gets stuck and I can't use anymore tools until I reload the game. My original work around was to just save the game and reload the save. I'm at glorias theater and I really don't want to keep doing this method to play the game. Any work around? (I've already verified the game/ uninstall reinstalled)

To any future reader: The only fix is to make a new save

That's one unique bug.
What is your average fps count on the game?

I get 60 fps and I tried turning vsync on and off. I have a 144hz monitor and I lowered my game resolution/fps and my monitors fps through windows and that didn't help. So far my only actual solution I found was play the windows store version instead

Have you tried any compatibility option?
In the original .exe (the one you can find in the directory), has some
software options in the proprieties.
Try adding one, or removing it if it is enabled.

Messed around with multiple window versions and none of them worked. I looked at what compatibility the windows store version uses and its win 7. Messed with the other settings like disable full screen optimizations but still no go.

Unique indeed.
Have you ever tried to spend the cobwebs in Ford Cruller's lair?
It's the only "logical reason" I could find, since you said it happened just as
you reached Boyd.

If you already did, try again. Maybe there is some kind of code that prevents the cobweb duster from collecting too many cobwebs (dunno).

The game says I don't have any cobwebs. I checked milk mans conspiracy and it said I've never collected a cob web. I'm assuming its cause my original fix was to save the game and leave. In the video showing the glitch I had to fight the nightmare boss in that state.

Ok so, I made some researches.
Is not the first time happening, and is not even the first time I encounter someone with the same problem (yeah my memory is broken).

Sadly, there is no real "solution" to this. People, just like you, usually load the file again to fix it. Or, since someone says it's permanent, you have to reset the entire save file and make another one.

Sorry comrade.

I'll make a new save later today with cheats and run to the first cobweb in basic braining to see if that fixes it

A'ight, let me know, I'm curious now.
But careful! Cheats may spoil you some game mechanics and/or story!

The duster works on a new save. Unfortunate that is the fix but I guess it is how it is.
