That's not a glitch.... its designed to be that way because


-Left mouse button = right arm attack


-Right mouse button = left arm attack



the left mouse button is always the default attack button, and in 99% of games, people hold things in thier right hands exclusively, since most of the world is right handed.

You cant change the mouse buttons? There should be controls that you can change.

its not a bug.. left click is primary attack (right hand).. while right click is the "off hand" button, which in dual wielding is used for the weapon in your off hand, or when not dual wielding is used to block enemy attacks

You can open the menu screen (ESC); then select Controls. You can swap the mouse buttons there.

What mouse do you have? Im right handed, so Im able to set my mouse to left button for left hand and right button for right hand.


Something is inverting the mouse buttons?

I dont think there is. You should be able to hit esc and click controls and find the left and right hand bindings. THen click left (M1 for me) for left hand and click right (M2) for right hand.
