[BUG] sword gets unequipped during battle, forcing a pause to fix

This happened to me again yesterday, even after the 1.12 (or was it 1.2?) patch.

I’ve seen it numerous times before yesterday.

Example: You perform in the play to find Dudu. I picked drama. As the play ends, you are up on stage with about 3 guys. Fight breaks out. Kill the 3 on stage with your sword. Hop down to help kill the others. Now immediately upon jumping down, you are somehow using your fists. Pressing X doesn’t bring sword out, obviously. You are in combat. So it switched to fists when I did nothing except jump down.

The only way that I know of to fix it is to pause, equip a different sword in main hand (which makes your current sword unequip), and then re-equip the original sword again. Now when you press X, you will be using your sword.

Maybe it was a delayed message from the cutscene or something, but I have also seen this elsewhere.

Expected condition: I shouldn’t just be forced into fists from a sword in the middle of combat.

P.S. this is on steam, on PC. I am using a USB Xbox clone controller. I am not at home so I don’t remember which controller, but it is one of those official licensed see-thru controller that has colored lights on it. It is not wireless.
