A couple of questions...?

Ok, so tonight I was kicking around in the game, and I noticed something had changed.

In the past, if I pressed Tab, the character would put away a ready weapon.  If holding his pistol, he'd holster it, or tapping Tab twice, he'd twirl then holster it.  If holding a rifle, tapping once would have him lower the rifle to his side in one hand, and tapping twice would make him sling it over his shoulder (or back).

Now, for some reason, he won't put weapons away in this fashion.  If he has a pistol, it's the same as usual, but if he's holding a rifle, tapping the Tab key makes him DRAW his pistol instead of lowering the rifle.

 

Now, I'd been searching around my settings trying to find the one that makes it possible to use the iron sights on weapons in 1st person mode (I've seen it done on Youtube).  I didn't change anything I know of, but it's possible something got changed unintentionally.

 

So, does anyone know how to get it back to how it was, where tapping Tab lowers the rifle to his side WITHOUT drawing his pistol?  Also, does anyone know what setting I have to adjust to use the iron sights on weapons?

It might be that the pistol is selected as the default weapon rather than empty hands.

Sometimes the game changes it on me (might have mashed a key or two unintentionally) and usually one revolver gets set to default.

You can change it back using the weapon wheel.

 

Regarding the iron sights vs scope, the mouse wheel is what selects/unselects the scope, it should work the same in 1st as 3rd person (I spend very little time in 1st person, so not 100% on that).

Some rifles are hard locked to scope only when it's installed, Carcano for sure and I think the Rolling Block as well, probably all rifles listed as 'sniper' rifles, though I don't own them all.

Ya by default the bare hand at the 3 o clock position is selected “x for quick select”, so the extra tap quick selects the bare hand 

 

Nevermind I guess I don't understand it yet either, maybe later

I checked the bare hand thing, that's not it.  It's actually omitting the whole animation of putting the rifle over the shoulder.

 

So, if my rifle is equipped and ready to fire, I press Tab and instead of dropping it to his side in one hand, it teleports onto his shoulder as he draws his pistol.  I filed a ticket asking about it, but the answer was a complete non-answer... as usual.

I haven't played in a month, so it may be a recent glitch.

Hopefully it's something they're willing to address, best of luck.

Aaand, last night, it mysteriously went back to normal.

 

Very wierd, I can't even tell you what caused it or what fixed it.
