OK, so I'm not sure if my game is bugged or not, but with my auto-sheath of sword seems to not be working.

The new manual sword sheath option works as intended, with Geralt not pulling out his sword when near monsters, requiring manual unsheathing/sheathing, but with the option set to 'off' he still unsheathes the correct sword when an enemy/monster is near but after combat doesn't re-sheath it (I have to manually re-sheath it in all cases).

I've gone back to my vanilla playthrough saves and it's the same on all of them too now (this is my NG+ playthrough I've just started): I'm sure he used to re-sheath his sword after combat... my question GOG brothers and sisters, does your Geralt re-sheath his sword after combat if you have manual sheath set to 'off'? Or is this working as intended, with only unsheathing being auto now.

Interesting, I wonder if this is how auto sheath works now since all that uproar on Geralt sheathing his sword mid-combat a while back?

It feels too 'intended' to be a bug, and the fact my old save files do it too makes me think it was part of a patch... or we are just both bugged :P lol.

Be interesting to see if this is the case with all players now with patch 1.21, hoping it's as intended: it kind of makes sense in a way (although I did like the finality of him sheathing the sword pre 1.21).
I just tested it, I turned manual sheathing to off, and Geralt both auto-draws AND auto-sheathes his sword in my game. Funny thing, he actually auto-sheathed his sword *during* a fight with two boars when they ran far enough away, and didn't auto-draw it again when they charged him, so there's that.

Weird, right? Other than that, it works as intended (for better or worse) for me, not sure why it's working differently for you.

Thanks for the reply mate :)

Mine is fixed now, did a verify of the game install then rebooted the computer and viola, seems to be going again now: there is the odd time when it doesn't resheath, but that's when there's near by enemies it seems.

Sorted, glad the verify worked!
