Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Please fix the throwing pact weapon not returning bug already

It has been several years and we still have the issue that starting a fight with a throwing pact weapon causes the weapon to be lost completely.
Please fix it, why is it so hard

because its not actually a bug
the way the game was made added throwing after and it works the way it was made i.e, throwing an item BEFORE combat means its not going to return because it is coded to only return DURING combat

the work around is to throw something else or wait for the combat to actually start

Technically, the stipulation isn't combat, it's it being your turn.

If your character has ridiculous initiative, you can throw to start combat just fine as you will go first and thus it will work.

This is why it can also bug out if you end your turn before it returns to you during combat (Most likely to happen when it gets randomly delayed because it's falling through a large enemy, if you're too trigger happy on ending turn after throwing you get screwed)

As for if they can fix it so it works even when it's not your turn? Maybe. Though they're working on other games right now rather than any more fixes for BG3 it seems.
