I haven’t seen the attacks, but I have seen the spider webbing spawning on the ground. So at least an animation issue.

I’m having this issue as well and I can confirm that even without mods the issue persists. I’ve noticed Spiders, Salamanders, Shaggi, the Abysmal Remnant, and other enemies with projectile attacks are affected. Crucially, spray, breath, and arrow attacks from Sand Reapers, Dragons, and Archers of any kind are NOT affected and work as intended. The biggest problem with this bug is that it makes several of the tamable versions of these creatures far less effective, especially if they rely heavily on these projectile attacks.
