Hi, since the 25th Feb update, I'm having a bit of a problem switching weapons during a fight.
Yesterday on a server with 50+ players online, while farming I noticed I couldn't switch from my hunting bow (on slot 3 @ my action bar) to my Stone Hatchet (on slot 2 @ my action bar). I always did that to kill animals and then gather their stuff. The server was a liiiiiittle bit laggy and the last wipe was 17/02, so I thought that was it.
Except this morning was in another server (wiped today) with 6 others players and all confirmed the server was running smooth. I had absolutely no lag aswell. 10 minutes in, I find 2 guys with guns in the small radtown. I start shooting one of them with my mp5 and then I had to reload. Since he was fairly close to me, I tried to switch to pickaxe. I wouldn't change.
I HAD TO STOP WALKING, then I switched to pickaxe and kill him. The other guy was shooting at me with shotgun, so I had to switch to hunting bow. IT WOULDNT CHANGE. Again I had to stop walking and then it switched.
Needless to say he killed me because I was standing still mid-fight.
I don't usually RAGE QUIT, but I totally quitted the server and considered only coming back when this stupid thing gets outta alpha version. I really like RUST but things like this just pisses me off.
Anyone else having this? Is it a bug or a feature to have a delay before switching weapons?
Many are having this problem right now, there are multiple threads about it. Someone mentioned it hat been fixed by now, but no more information was brought. My team also had the problem, naked guys suddenly became horrifying enemies because handstone is better in closed combat than bow. Hope it was fixed by now but will see later.
Same here. This is really bad especially during fire-fights. I'm sitting there jamming my 2 key and nothing is happening. Takes like 15 tries before it switches.
I have to press ne hotkey three times when switching to my (metal) hatchet, even when standing still.
It's also quite a pain in the ass that you can't reload while running. I also can't switch to melees while running.
After killing an animal with the bow, I get about a 5 second delay before I can switch to my hatchet to harvest it. Definitely inconvenient.

This is what I've had. Only started yesterday, after killing an animal with a bow I have difficulty switching my equipped item off the toolbar. it goes something like this *1...1..11...1111....3...1*
I can confirm this too.
Happens to me as well. always after using a bow i can't swithc to my hatchet or stone hatchet right away but it seemed like i could switch to the pick axe right away.
