[1.2.1.4 H1] Equipping 2H melee disables character movement

Hello there,

I just started a new run from scratch on 1.2.1.4 Hotfix 1 (completely fresh character), and upon equipping Hevill’s Greatsword, as one does, I noticed that my character couldn’t move anymore. Menus and inventory work normally, but the character just stays there in the animation it last had before equipping the 2H weapon (so as if holding a 1H weapon or gun). The 2H weapon renders in this animation instead of the previous weapon. The character is unable to move, turn or use any attacks or skills.

I did a bit of testing, and this is limited to 2H melee weapons. 1H melee and 1H and 2H guns work normally.

Best regards, and I hope this doesn’t ruin anyone’s holidays. :slight_smile:

I was able to reproduce this right away, and it doesn’t seem to be affected by character gender. Attached is a screenshot of a character holding Hevill’s Greatsword like a gun (I have more, but I can only upload one as a new user).

Have you verified game files? If you are on GOG, do a clean installation from the full installer, not the offline patches.

Thanks, that was indeed exactly the problem. I didn’t realize the patch installers could also break files.
