Ancient Elements Better Combat Fix Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why aren't my Ancient Elements swords shooting magic attacks when I use Better Combat?
This is the main bug this mod fixes—without it, the magic blast effects from Ancient Elements weapons don't trigger during Better Combat's swing animations. Install this mod to restore the magic attacks while keeping the improved combat animations.
Do I need both Ancient Elements and Better Combat installed for this mod to work?
Yes, this mod is a compatibility patch between those two mods, so you need all three installed together for it to function.
Will this mod slow down my game or cause lag?
This mod only patches communication between two existing mods and doesn't add new content or heavy processing, so it should have minimal performance impact.
Can I use this mod with other combat mods besides Better Combat?
This mod is specifically designed to fix compatibility between Ancient Elements and Better Combat; it may not work with other combat overhaul mods.
What happens if I uninstall this mod but keep Ancient Elements and Better Combat?
The magic attacks from Ancient Elements swords will stop firing again during Better Combat swings, returning to the original bug.
Do the magical swords do more damage now that the attacks are fixed?
This mod only restores the magic attacks to work properly—it doesn't change damage values or weapon balance, which are determined by Ancient Elements itself.
Are there any items or crafting recipes I need to unlock to use this mod?
No, this mod works automatically once installed; you use your existing Ancient Elements magical swords normally and the magic attacks will fire as intended.
Does this mod fix other bugs in Ancient Elements besides the magic attacks?
This mod only addresses the specific compatibility issue between Ancient Elements and Better Combat; other Ancient Elements bugs are outside its scope.
Can I use magical swords from other mods with this fix?
This mod only patches Ancient Elements weapons; magical swords from other mods won't benefit from the fix unless those mods are also patched.
What should I do if magic attacks still aren't working after installing this mod?
Make sure all three mods (Ancient Elements, Better Combat, and this fix) are installed and enabled; if they are, try removing other combat or weapon mods that might conflict.
