Crossbow reload jamming?

When I fire Explosive Shot, or some other single load ammunition, the reload sometimes makes a click sound several times (1-5, sometimes taking seconds) before the reload occurr, effectively feeling like the crossbow is jammed.

Is weapon jamming a feature in the game or is this a bug?

It is like if the Fire button can interrupt reload.

Really disruptive for gameplay.

This happens without dodge roll, I can visibly see clips flying from the crossbow for each click sound. Sometimes several clicks for several seconds.

I have also noticed this happening quite frequently, even with higher attack speed, which does help a little, but does not resolve the issue.

* When holding the attack button down into and through a reload

OR

* holding the attack button down into a reload,

then trying to resume attacking after reloading, the crossbow will not fire or will take another few seconds to begin firing.

This is regularly occurring.




Then on occasion, the crossbow does not load the full amount of ammunition. Ex. 3 shots for x ability. Only fires 1, then reloads. This is not as regularly occurring as the previously stated issue.



**EDIT** A lot of the issues I was having previously about the crossbow seemingly having issues with reloading seem to be resolved (mostly) after getting the "Crossbow Reload" upgrades in the skill tree.

Bump that still happens consistantly and feel unresponsive
Another bump. Happens very regularly and makes some bosses borderline impossible due to damage windows being wasted by crossbows getting stuck in reload loops.
bump. every time i get swarmed i can't seem to fire my crossbow. i think dodge rolling interrupting the reload is only a small part because even if i let myself get swarmed and just hold the fire button down, it does not fire and i die often. it just feels bad.
i'm also experiencing this, I believe it may be related to me playing on controller. I saw some post on reddit about this happening due to the auto aiming by controller or WASD. if you try running around and shooting with no enemies around it never jams.
I noticed this also. It does seem much worse with a controller, especially in hectic situations like ritual or breach.

Edit: With a bit more testing I "feel" like this also happens less frequently if you just hold down the button. Button mashing seems to make this problem worse.

Bump.

This just kept happening to me over and over on the colossus fight. The fight is already a pain with so many bugs. Add not being able to attack with shockburst rounds, since shock was gone half the time once the crossbow finally unjammed. Really painful and sad experience.

between not being able to see if my mark is on the boss, falling off the platform every 3 seconds and not being able to attack this is now the boss I have died to the most in this playthrough. Didn't die on it at all in most my other playthroughs of the campain, which I have done quite a few of at this point. Note I don't mind dying on bosses and grinding untill I learn them. But having to repeat this process over and over due to bugs was not fun

please fix asap <3
+1 same for me. Having 1 bolt explosive shot gets often stuck for 1-5 seconds or feels like reloading 2+ x times in a row, i'm having all the reload speed passives plus some attackspeed bonuses.
especially occurs when low-fps situations like breach encounter happens.
