I can't hit an NPC, NPC can't hit me toe to toe (no damage)

Game mode: [Singleplayer]
Problem: [Bug]
Region: [Anywhere]


From time to time, I’ll run up to an NPC camp to wipe them, and I’ll be toe to toe with any humanoid and we will be unable to hit each other. We swing right through each other and neither of us take any damage.

I’ve tried with Q to focus target, toggle Q, no Q, it will not register any hits until I move away and for the NPC to walk around out of their spot they started at. I haven’t noticed it with animals, just humanoids of any type.

It’s super frustrating when you get surrounded by a bunch and this happens and one of the NPC can hit you and you are stuck in a pile.


Steps on how to reproduce issue:

  1. Walk or run up to an NPC and try to hit them with a melee weapon
  2. Q or not Q, can’t hit them
  3. Kite them away from where they are and it will usually allow us to hit each other after they move around

Yeah i was playing the other day and found an armor who was stuck on their anvil who couldnt and we could hit one another. It was one if the pirate camps near the boat.

Black hands, under a tent i presume.

These tents are currently bugged, and ghosted.
So or destroy the tent first, or make the npc follow you to be able to hit them.

Different treads on the subject.
