Problems with dual wield

Dobbler · 01-09-2003, 02:24 PM

I'm having some problems with dual wield, maybe someone can help me discover the reason for them. First, I am a 22nd level Blade, with *** in dual wield and * in katana and * in flail. Second I have downloaded both the official patch, and the baldurdash patch with TOB. I have both FoA and Celestial Fury. Regardless of which one I put in my main hand and which one I put in my off hand, I am only attacking with my main hand weapon. I turned on the dice roll option so I could see what I'm rolling, and to my surpise, I'm not, at all, with my off hand. I checked inventory and it my off hand weapon wss equipped, and it shows up on my character icon. I switched my weapons around, and it still didn't change. The only time it worked was when I used improved haste from the Ring of Gaxx, but that was only once, and the next time I used improved haste, my offhand weapon wasn't attacking.

So anyways, I played several hours yesterday with only one weapon attacking. It seems that I noticed it happening sometime after using MMM (Melf's minute Meteors) so maybe the bug involved with with that affected my ability to use the offhand weapon during regular attacks? Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm ... I know the boots of speed when unfixed suppress off-hand attacks. Maybe you need to (just to be sure) download the boots of speed fix from baldurdash again, and make sure it is installed?

This is only if you have the boots, of course. Try unequipping them if you do, and see if that solves the problem.

Try re-equiping the weapons after using MMM.

I already have tried equipping the weapons after MMM. Didn't change things. But I'll try redownloading the baldurdash fix for the boots.

Remember to see if the problem goes away when you unequip the boots of speed.
