Are all gauntlets in the game bugged?

Just equipped myself with Ironfist Gauntlets, supposed to give +1d4 bludgeoning damage. It doesn't! Same thing with Greater Wyrm Gauntlets, supposed to give extra fire damage, but the only thing that works is the -4 DEX
What am I doing wrong?

Also, I just found a crown under Ember, called The Regal, and its abilities do not match those listed on this site. Is there something wrong with my game?

It could be that damage bonuses on gloves only apply to unarmed combat.
Has anybody else noticed a difference between what they have for The Regal, and what we show in our database? It could be that Obsidian changed the item in one of the patches, and we didn't notice.

Yes, it's a shame because I killed a goblin chieftain for that helmet
And it wasn't so good. But regarding the gauntlets - Ironfist gauntlets are very popular so everybody have used them, right? Is the damage bonus only for unarmed combat? Because when I unequip weapons the bonus still doesn't show up...

Hm. In my UN-patched game, the Ironfist Gauntlets are described as +4 STR. And they work fine.
I'm glad I didn't patch. I've had remarkably little in the way of problems with my game - mostly just the occasional crash - but the patches seem to really bugger-up other people's games, judging by the comments I've read...

The gauntlets work fine in a patched game. They do in fact give +3 to strength. The issue is that ability bonuses from items don't stack. In other words - if you have another strength bonus item +3 and you add the ironfist gauntlets you don't get +6, you only get the +3.
I believe the bludgeoning damage only applies to unarmed combat by the way
