Crossbow weapon and swap problem

Hi poe support,

First, it’s a wonderful game.
I have the following problem on my PS5.

Problem: when I try to swap to another crossbow with the skill, I can’t fire the special shot, if I‘m not allowing the skill for the weapon set. It switch back to default rounds.

Problem 2: I‘ll tried to use a double xbow with load an additional bolt, but it won’t load the extra bolt.

Game Version: 1.007

PS5 version: 24.08.10.40.07

Realm: Frankfurt (EU)

Bumping that, because it's a problem on PC too. After using second weapon set, you cannot hot swap by shooting immediately. Character goes into some weird state of walking slowly with weapon up. Can only get out of this by dodge rolling.

This post came up while Googling so I will post here, though there seem to be a bunch of posts about this bug with no replies. Having this issue as well on PC, did a bit of testing.

Using a crossbow and quarterstaff, swapping to the quarterstaff works fine and executes the skills properly, swapping back to crossbow is bugged, weapon set swaps in inventory screen but cannot shoot, explosive grenade functions properly, loading/reloading an ammo type and then shooting seems to work, emergency reload activates and reloads the current ammo type but does not swap to crossbow and results in an even further bugged state where I can no longer change ammo types or shoot. It seems to be trying to change as my High Velocity Rounds with Hourglass does go onto cooldown but does not get loaded.

That is all the testing I did. Hope this gets fixed as not being able to weapon swap as the weapon swap Ascendancy is rather annoying.

just curious if you assigned whichever bolt ammunition to weapon set 1, 2, or both? I've noticed that delay bug if both weapons sets are assigned to the same ammunition. It goes away though if you have one weapon in a slot or if you assign them separately for every ammunition load.

It's like a bug where the game can't decide what it's going to do for both sets of skills unless you tell it. So it just bugs and delays.

Go to skills- click on the skill-options and you can assign them for 1-2- or stationary.
Also you can see there is a single crossbow bolt skill but if all your skills are full you won't see the second crossbow appear. it's nice to see both because you can see the DPS each one does so you can assign ammunition to each.

I'm on PS5. Sorry if this doesn't help or is useless info.

Same here. Trying to use crossbow and bow as second.
Even after shooting with basic bow attack - pressing to use crossbow shot lead to this bug. Sometimes works if loading another ammo into crossbow before shot.

okay i figured it out.

STEPS:

go to 'skills' (the skill gem area thing)

choose (in your head) a skill that you wanna use with only the secondary xbow

click on that skill

when the menu pops up click on 'skill options'

de-select the weapon set 1

now when you use that skill youll swap xbows

Assigning a weapon to a skill does not solve the problem.
After using the "Bow" skill and trying to shoot a crossbow, even the character's animation shows that he is holding the crossbow as a bow:

All fine if you use the same type of weapon as second.
