Oblivion Blocking Bug Fix?

Post by hpora »

I've played this game for 3 hours in total and I've gotten this annoying bug where my weapon gets permanently stuck on block and I can't unequip the weapon, switch the weapon, or drop the weapon because apparently I'm still attacking. This bug spreads to all my saves and fixes itself seemingly randomly.

The only way I've found to fix this issue is to restart the game but it takes several tries and gets really tiring. Does anybody have a console command that might just remove the problem if it occurs again?

Are you sure it's not your mouse? I think I've had my block stuck before but a single click usually fixes it. What weapon are you using?

It was the Akaviri Katana or something like that.

But I'm pretty sure it's not about the weapon because once it occurs it goes onto to all of my saves. I can load another save and it will happen there too, even if I had a different weapon equipped.

Hmm... This still doesn't rule out the mouse

Sorry about the late reply but I'm pretty sure it's not the mouse. This doesn't happen to me on anything other than games like Oblivion and Fallout New Vegas. Do the two games run on similar engines? Both of them have similar console commands and etc.

I've had the very same problem, but I found out how to.. not fix but avoid it. It really is your mouses fault; in the control settings, assign a different button for blocking (B in my case) and the problem should be solved.

Hope you understood (:
