Replicable Crossbow Reload Bug

I believe this is unintended.

I have discovered some behavior on crossbow where the player will not reload their weapon immediately. It was happening on accident and led to frustration using the crossbow. I play on console using a gamepad so I am unsure if this can be replicated using M&K.

The only crossbow skill I use is galvanic shards, and I use a bow for all my other skills. It should be noted I hold down buttons for skill use, and do not press the buttons for individual firing if I intend to fire multiple times in a row.

To recreate:

>fire galvanic shards until empty
>use another skill or dodge roll, do not allow reload animation to start
>do not wait for animation of second skill, or the dodge animation to finish, hold down crossbow shot again
>be running
>observe unwanted behavior of player not reloading after skill/roll animation

If the button is continuously held down, eventually the player will begin to reload, although the timing on when does not seem consistent. Usually 1-3 seconds I would say. If the player stops running they will reload immediately.

Also, I would like to say if the button itself is observed during this 'non-reloading' state, the gold border around the button is present, indicating the button is being held down, so it is not a gamepad button detection issue.

Finally, I would like to add the most important bit. THIS DOES NOT FEEL GOOD. It's jank. If you are aware of this issue, you can play around it, however the most intuitive thing would be to have the reload animations happen right away. It took me a long while to even realize how to recreate this issue, so there was much frustration as things felt as if they were not working as intended.

Bumping for visibility as I am experiencing a related issue with Crossbow reload stalling out on Mouse and Keyboard (WASD) here:

I also provided some video examples on the other thread, thanks!

Bump
I am seeing the same issue with the crossbows making them almost unplayable.

-Unable to swap ammo while sprinting (e.g from permafrost to fragmentation)
- Unable to reload while sprinting
- Unable to cancel sprint with crossbow attack if 0 bolts are loaded


All 3 actions above were working correctly in 0.3, but 0.3b broke them.
