Quickslot problem

[Ronn_Bman]

I set up a dual weld spot (hand axe & small hammer) in my quickslots. After using it and then switching to something else, the dual weld quickslot only contains the main weapon?!?!? The off hand item is missing from the quickslot. It can be reloaded into the slot, but disappears after switching to something else.

This happened with my sword and shield setup also.

I have not noticed it lately because I basically stick with my greataxe, but after seeing the post about the disappearing necklace, it made me wonder.

Was this a known problem that was fixed with a patch?

Does/did it exist, or am I just imagining things again?

I had never had that problem with the older versions, but have not played the game since the latest patch. I will mess around with it this week and let you know if I am having any trouble. I also use the axe and hammer dual-wield selection. Have not yet had any trouble.

I had that problem when I had Divine Fury + Blade of the Elements. Basically, if your inventory is full, it will automatically drop one of the weapons (since there is not enough space.) Found this out much to my dismay in the middle of the tower in Chap 3.

I hadn't tried it since the latest patch or two because I'd become so set in my "two-handed axe" ways, so I tried it today, and it seems to work fine, but I'm not using the same configuration I was then.

If I remember, the way I did it before was with an axe and shield in one slot and an axe(the same axe) and hammer in another slot. When I'd use either combo, the secondary item (shield and hammer) would disappear from both slots, so maybe it had something to do with using the same weapon in two different combos?

Hmm that could be it.

If you have, say, the axe + shield equipped, then you ask for the axe + hammer, it searches your inventory for the axe. Maybe, since it can't find it in your inventory (assuming it doesn't search equipped slots) it assumes you no longer have it and erases it from your quickslots.

I really have no idea whether that's anywhere near right, but it's just a guess.

[Ronn_Bman]

Moose, that sounds pretty resonable.

Now I must say, I never had any problem with the game loading anything from the quickslots I've mentioned, just that the secondary item disappeared from both quickslots after it's use from either.

1.26 may have solved this, but I haven't checked. I haven't had a shield with me in quite a while.

[Ronn_Bman]

Well I did some testing, and I do still have the problem.

Having an off-hand item works fine in the quickslots during the game, but once the game is shutdown, and then restarted, the off-hand item is gone from the quickslot.

This is weird!
