Starfield players looking for how to fix a bug that breaks guns figured out changing their character’s gender is a solution.

I’m vaguely curious what gets re-initialized by changing gender to fix this.
Apparently it’s nothing to do with changing the gender, only opening the character creation screen. So you can open that screen and then just close it, and it should work again. Weird bug though!
The article says that the console command to swap genders also works.
I haven’t experienced it so I have no clue.
Wonder if that pseudo opens the screen.
It might alter some of the same variables causing this bug.
It probably triggers a write of the character data which ends up overwriting some bad value that is actually causing the problem.

This is why you don’t use global variables, kids!
If starfield works like every other Bethesda game, the game can’t actually change the gender directly, it instead remakes your entire character, which will reset whatever is causing the bug
Prgramng!
I had a bug caused by the shipselling bug where each time I went through a load screen my gender and appearance randomized. So I can’t even begin to guess how all the noodles are connected.
man that bald english dude has to be losing his damn mind rn

Bethesda. Bethesda never changes. But seriously this has to be one of the odder bugs I’ve seen in a Bethesda game.
Oh that’s not going to cause any conspiracy theories at all lol!
The article links to a story about some YouTubers who went on a rant about the optional pronoun feature, so yeah, I could absolutely see this getting blown out of proportion.
Cyberpunk had a bug where you couldn’t draw weapons or something similar.
The fix was to pay a hooker.I bet Trudeau mandated this feature!
