Hi!

I'm a curious about strange bit of control logic:

If I'm holding down the block key with a steel sword and attack, Geralt attacks and then returns to the blocking position. This is normal and the way I would imagine it to work.

However, if I do the same thing with the silver sword, the attack keys don't do anything. I have to let go of the block key in order to attack. This isn't a really big problem as such, but it's weird. And besides, it has resulted in getting hit a couple of times.

Also worth noting is that it worked with the silver sword *once*, and I have no idea why.

Anyone else experiencing this behaviour? Is this a bug, or some obscure feature I don't know about?

I'm pretty sure it is a bug.
I don't remember reading anywhere you can only riposte/counterattack with the steel sword.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could try this out for themselves.

It's really bugging me that I seem to have run into a bug on which there is no information anywhere.

Is everyone else able to counterattack with the silver sword? Or, generally speaking, attack with the *silver sword* while *holding down* the block key?

It probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's annoying and making me not want to play the game, seeing as how there might be other weird bugs awaiting.

It is indeed a bug, and yes, it's an annoying one. Fortunately, it's the only especially annoying bug I know of. I'd suggest not letting it put you off the game.
