    Weapons disabled after death/respawn

    I have a peculiar issue where, after being killed and respawning, some of my weapons have become unavailable. The game tells me that I need to RE-LINK them, or to be more specific "re attach or re download this weapon to play with it digitally". I have the steam version, so I am uncertain how I would re-download the weapons. I've quit and restarted the game, verified my steam cache.

    System is Windows 10 1903, Processor: i7-6700k @ 4GHz, 16GB Ram, NvidiaGeeforce GTX 1070

    ZordanSturmfels: Thanks for posting here! Just to check, do you have all of your weapons digitally or do you have some as physical toys?

    Hi Ubidork, thanks heaps for getting back to me on a weekend. I have the Digital Deluxe Edition, so all my weapons are digital only. The weapons that are currently locked in my save game are Hailstorm, Nullifier and Meteor Mk II. I had used them previously before I got shot down by some Outlaws in Space. I can still see the weapon level progress bars, so I'm certain I had them, but now they have a little icon and a text telling me to RE LINK them.

    Hi Ubi-viral,

    thanks for the reply. So I have verified the files 2 times, the first time was directly after the issue occurred (which did not fix it, the weapons remained locked after loading the save game) and now a second time, but this time the issue got fixed (so the weapons are back). I honestly did not do anything different, so I am still at a loss how the weapons disappeared and how I got them back now.
    Anyway, thank you for your help, perhaps this bug could be addressed since I saw on reddit that I am not the only one who experienced this issue.
