Hi all,
Ticket Number: ( 404,384 )
I was directed here by Arc support. I've been playing STO for a couple of years, and now have encountered a problem I've never seen or heard about. So here it is,
My Main Character cannot properly use his weapons. Any weapon that I load has the same result. I can use the 2nd strike setting just fine, but I cannot use the first strike setting at all. For example: When I use my Terran Task Force Rifle, I cannot use (1) Beam setting. I can only use the (2) High Density Beam setting. I've tried all work arounds. I always force verify files before I launch, and I've reset the keybinds to default.
Again, this is only a problem with my Main Character. None of my other characters are affected at all.
Of course I have reported the problem to support, and this was their final reply to the matter.

So, there you have it. I've done everything that I can think of.
Is there anybody else that has this bug? Any support, advise, or feedback will be appreciated.

    Yeah, it sucks.
    But at least we know we're not alone. I did, however get another reply on the matter.

    So, if you have not done so already, please report the bug to support. Other than that, I suppose all we can do is be patient.

    Good News! I've discovered what the problem was! It's not a Bug!
    I came across this in a old thread:
    " you're going to feel stupid after this... in your big personal bar... check what is under row 1 item 1 2 and 3. lets say your weapon has pulseweave and arcwave. Pulseweave being primary and arcwave secondary. IF THOSE ARE NOT IN POSITION 1 and 2, then your weapon WILL NOT FIRE. so to fix this you need to click the box that has view all abilities on the tooltip and find your weapons attacks and set primary to row 1, box 1 and secondary to row 1 box 2. Hope this helps."

    When I looked, my first beam setting was set on ( Autofire ): that little green box surrounding the action.
    After I unchecked this feature, the beam setting action worked just fine!
    I hope this works for you as it did for me. If not, reply back on it.
