[BUG?] Unequipped weapons vanish.

I may be hallucinating because it seems to happen so infrequently, but there have been a few instances where the simple act of unequipping a weapon causes them to vanish from my inventory entirely. I thought I may have mistakenly dropped them, but nope -- no weapons on the ground either.

It hasn't become a big deal yet as the weapons that have vanished have been relatively common ones, but I'm sure it might prove to be a minor annoyance should anyone find their prized loot suddenly disappear.

I will keep on eye on this - if it happens again, let me know:

* What kind of item it was (weapon, armor etc)
* How you unequipped it (via keyboard "U", mouse submenu, keyboard/controller)

It happened about three times over many games; they were all weapons as far as I recall. I often swap my weapons around, placing higher damage and ranged weapons toward the right of my weapon slots as I collect them, so I unequip weapons a fair amount. I use a gamepad (Hori Fighting Commander 4).

Okay, I thought I was going crazy. I just started playing this game like ten minutes ago as a brigand. I'm just tinkering with the U.I. to figure it out, and the first thing I did was to switch my dagger to off-hand, and then unequip it, and now it has vanished. :( Using a gamepad.

Edit: Wait, I was able to look at the log. The last thing I did was to "unpair it from fists." Then it was just gone.

If it happens again, stop playing immediately and save your game, then collect your savegame file and output logs and send them to the dev at his gmail address. Be sure to ask nicely if he could take a look at it.

alright, i'll try that, thx.

also considering creating a background script that automatically backs up the savegame whenever it changes.

maybe i should also create console logs.

Items will "appear" to vanish if you pair them as an offhand and then equip them in a normal slot(You see only a fist in that slot). If you switch to the paired weapon in a normal slot they reappear in the offhand. Once something was paired it can no longer be unpaired(Ignore the UI that's not how it works).

The best thing is to NEVER pair anything. Otherwise you would have to edit your save files.

I made sure the UI claimed it was unpaired and saved. Then searched for "pairedfistthing" in the "savedGameX.xml" and found something like this "<pairedfistitem>[number]</pairedfistitem>" after deleting it I loaded up the game and the pairing was actually gone, consequently the bug as well.

PS: Always make backups of your saves before editing(or in general).

Dang, nice detective work.
