Whenever I swung the sword, the swing would never reach the spider/s, out if 100 swings I might be lucky and take a small amount of damage off a spider, but I would always lose health and die myself. It was like the spiders were just to low for the sword swing to be affective.:)
That's definitely rather odd. I never had a problem like that. If you can reproduce it and make a video, I'd be most appreciative. But I'll look into fixing that.
