New Game Still can't climb ladders... Its been 3 years

[Miracles]

So uninstalled this a couple years back, came back thinking all the bugs were fixed. Starting nomad story arc, still can't even climb the ladder in the prologue. Is this some joke?

Never had issues with that myself, what exactly doesn't work for you?

You just have to stand in the right place in front of the ladder and press F if I remember right, but it can be hard to get just the right spot sometimes.

Never have had an issue climbing ladders. Not on my old rig ( 1000+ hours )or my new rig ( new play thru 100 +/- hours ) . Dunno what to tell you.

Never had an issue climbing ladders. My issue was falling back down again when you get to the top. Used to happen with every ladder if you didn't do it just right. This seems to be fixed now at least 99% of the time.

I've never had problems climbing ladders unless I press a key other than up/down.

130h and zero trouble with ladders. It's honestly fascinating how this game has such varied gamut of experiencing different problems.

I for one ran into basically no trouble with the game during my time with it. 2 crashes and two soft locks that got fixed by reloading a save.

Then there's the other end who've had nothing but troubles to this day and then there's everything in between.

I have this problem with yellow ladders with handles on the side up top. Maybe the handles that are sticking up prevent my character from walking up on the surface unless they fit right between those handles?

Nah i don't think that's it. The issue seems to be the same as with mantling.

When you try to jump up and grab a ledge, you'll quickly notice that actually grabbing onto it it's very dependant on your camera, if you look too far up or down you just won't grab on.

This seems to be in effect for ladders aswell, when you reach the top you can fall down if the camera is looking too far up or down.. hard to explain accurately in text.

So it could be something as simple as the guard rails on yellow ladders make you change how you're moving your view without even thinking about it.


There is one repeatable bug with ladders though, if you jump onto a ladder, not only will V's "grabbing onto the ladder" animations play in a slightly wonky way, but it basically garuentees you'll fall off when you reach the top, regardless of where you're looking.


As for the OP's issue.. uhmmm... i don't even. Not even.

Everyone else can climb ladders, either you're making this up or you're making this up.

Ladders are overrated. Get fortified ankles and jump straight up.

It most definitely is a you problem. Never experienced this before
