Can't climb through windows most of the time
I can open pretty much any window (if unlocked), but I can only climb through them 'sometimes'. I haven't pinned down whether or not it depends on the direction the window is facing (though I *believe* this happens most often when the window is south of me). But often I will open a window, right click on it to try the 'climb through' option, and the right click does nothing. If I hit 'E' I close the window. I've shifted my stance a bit (which shouldn't be necessary, as I just opened the window and haven't moved yet) but nothing allows any menu to appear on right clicking the open window.

Yeah the new models really struggle to open windows, another issue i have noticed is if a house door is angled a certain way you can open and close it only from the interior and cannot close from the outside due to how it cuts away when you leave the building.

I've noticed that issue with doors too. Doesn't happen often for me.

I usually hold "E" to climb through windows, but I have noticed the interaction menus being a little more touchy lately. Takes a couple clicks sometimes for certain things. (like trying to drink from sinks)

I've found tapping "E" opens/closes windows and holding "E" climbs through.
It's been reliable for me now.
Approach window - tap "E" open - hold "E" climb through - tap "E" close.

In addition to this Shift+E will open and close a curtain, sheet or window blind that is on the widow or door. (It was like this in previous builds as well).

You can also left+click on the window if you are next to it to open it.

Holding E for climbing is correct.

You may find that if you are holding down RMB, for more precise movements, you are unable to climb through.
