Hey guys, just a little thing thats been irking me, i’ve tried using f to ‘fire’ my reach weapons, like knife spears and pitchforks, but it doesnt seem to do -anything-, no messages, no ranged UI, no attacking near-by targets automatically, no anything.
I am running one of the latest experimental builds via a launcher, 0.C-14404-gadad025 (tiles)to be precise, if you have any tips i’d be happy to hear.

This broke for me around build ~4900 iirc, but seems to be fixed in the latest builds

So like, 4938? that seems to be the most recent.

Please don’t download 4938. I missed some bugs. I have a bugfix PR open now.

I’m using build 4925 (0.c-14433-g82caca1 according to the launcher) and reach weapons seem to be working. So does basically everything else. Only consistent bug I’m getting is I keep getting asked if I want to drop my “none” to pick up things…
