Crossbow doesn't shoot after ammo switch sometimes

Sometimes crossbow doesn't shoot after ammo switch, even if attack button is held, so the player must press attack again. It happens often enough to be really annoying

If you have stand still while attacking checked, turn it off

It doesn't shoot ammo because you first you have to reload that bolt type once you switch to it (if it's empty). So it seems like it doesn't shoot, but it's just waiting for you to click on the designated key for the ability to make it reload.

So basically it doesn't reload automatically for you when you switch bolt types, if that clip is empty you have to reload it yourself before you can shoot.

This isn't what he's saying. I'm testing with Fragmentation rounds and permafrost bolts, both are reloaded with their 1 round (and I've removed all supports for sake of testing, though having them had no effect). If I fire fragmentation, hit the key to switch ammos and immediately click the left mouse and hold, it will not fire the new ammo, even though it is selected and has 1 ammo, if I release then click it fires immediately.

Basically, if you click to fire the new ammo anywhere in the "ammo switch" animation/sound period, it wont fire once done and you have to release the mouse and click again. I also tried with using a key for fire instead of left click, same problem, so not relegated to mouse clicks.

This IS incredibly annoying if trying to do weapon switch combos like freeze + frag like I am.

Please try it for yourself.

+1 for this. My character randomly sometimes not shooting is currently pretty much the only reason I'm dying from time to time, and it's really annoying.

I think there are 3 issues which sometimes cause it to not shoot, or shoot in the wrong direction:

1. The one you describe where you click and hold during a reload;
2. Sometimes when you click and hold targeting an enemy, and then the enemy dies or is out of range (can't reproduce this anymore now though);
3. However, when you click and hold targeting an enemy, it will 'lock on', no matter where you aim. This most of the time doesn't make sense, and cause you to do effectively nothing, for instance just spam glacial bolts on top of each other, not damaging anything.

The game should:

A. Always (start) shooting as long as the Crossbow Shot key (probably 100% left mouse button) is down;
B. At least give us the option to completely disable 'auto aim'; but just always shoot in the direction the mouse pointer is pointing. To be honest I'd even completely remove this, since it's probably only ever used, maybe, for the first 10 monsters you encounter in the game using 'basic crossbow shot'. As soon as you get even just Fragmentation Rounds, the very first skill, you're already doing AOE and you no longer care about this auto-aim.

I already submitted a bug report for this. Sometimes it will not reload when I left click (attack). Sometimes it will just not attack either. I have this problem alot too.

Im experiencing this still after the patch,

pls make a fix for this coz its really annoying
