I can't swap weapons anymore in Single Player (Campaign) ME3

Yesterday (Saturday, 13 October 2012) I played Single Player for the first time in several months.  I tried to swap weapons at the Workbench in the Normandy Shuttle bay, but was unable to do so.  When I started a mission, I could not swap my character's weapons, nor the weapons of the companions (Garrus and Liara on the "Cure the Genophage" Mission on Tuchanka).

I can access the screen, I can select the weapons class, but I cannot "click" between the various weapon choices within the weapon class.  For instance, I wanted to add a pistol to my character's selection.  When I selected the "Pistol Wheel", the side bar showed, but nothing appeared in it, and I couldn't change anything.  I tried selecting the Assault Rifles (I have the Ceberus Harrier equipped currently [Like I need any other weapon!  :-)  ]  I couldn't change the weapon selection to view the other Assault Rifles.

I could change the weapon mods on all the previously saved weapons (i.e. changing the mods on the Harrier, or the N7 Eagle that I have Liara carrying, or the Kyrsae mods that Garrus is using), but I can't swap the weapon.

Thank you for your assistance,

Andrew Welkley

  • Going to ask the obvious question here, but have you tried restarting the game? Happened to me a couple of times, but when I reopened the game the bug wore off.

  • Heh...that seems to have done it.  When I went back into the Single player Campaign game, there was no more issue with this.

    Thank you Null!

    I have the same problem only restarting doesn't fix it.

    I seem to have this bug consistently after playing multiplayer, then going into single player. I know restarting fixes it, but every time i switch from SP to MP it happens again. Is there any way to get a permanent solution to this? (For the record, you can swap weapons while in this bug, it's just that the GUI for swapping disappears, so you have to guess where to click and it's really irritating)

    Hi Xtrasquish,

    'Is there any way to get a permanent solution to this?'

     

    The short and sad reply is : NO. There are no more bug fixes, updates, or anything remotely related with those words for the games ME 1, ME 2 ,and ME 3. All processes are now centered with getting ME 4 off and running. Sorry. :robotfrustrated:

    Thanks for alerting others to the GUI simply disappearing as opposed to not being able to switch weapons.
