Bows No Longer Working Properly [Resolved]

Post » Thu Jun 21, 2012 7:50 am

I've noticed that suddenly I'm no longer able to use bows, neither the conjured nor the mundane variety. I can draw them and use the Eagle Eye perk to zoom in; however, I can't release the arrows.

I've been using the same group of mods for quite some time with no problems, so I'm a bit perplexed as to which mod might be causing this issue.

The only recent changes I'm aware of have been manually updating Dynamic Injuries to version 1.15 and ASIS to version 1.21; although, quite a few of my mods are subscriptions via Steam Workshop, so it's possible something else has been updated recently.

Anything stand out in my load order that might make bows suddenly become unusable? Throwing Weapons perhaps?

What version is your Throwing Weapons? It was causing some problems with my dual-wielding, and it might affect bows as well. However, it's been update to version 5.2(I think it's 2) which resolves the problems. If you haven't updated then you should do that and see if the bow problem is fixed.

I'll wait to see if it's actually the problem before I take off my clothes, however ;)

I'm having the same problem. And I play a Ranger type character. Is Throwing Weapons the real culprit here? Does updating it fix the problem? Thanks.

Ah, yes I looked up the http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=15294 and it seems a new version was rolled out to subscribers yesterday at 2:32pm.

Perhaps this update might caused bows to stop working? I also noticed that if I try to use throwing weapons, such as gas grenades or illusion potion grenades, I can throw one or two, but then I cannot throw any more, even if I have more in inventory.

Could it be something in the new update conflicting with Deadly Combat? It's currently just below DeadlyCombat.esp in my load order, but above DeadlyCombat_NoAttackDistance.esp. Perhaps I should try to move Throwing Weapons - Death From Afar.esp above DeadlyCombat.esp?

In my case, I didn't experience this problem until yesterday, following the latest update. Are you using the Steam Workshop or Nexus version?

No idea how or why, but this problem has resolved itself.

Bows and throwing weapons both seem to be working properly once again. Perhaps it was fixed by an automatic update through Steam Workshop.

How about you, Hunter79 - still experiencing this issue?
