Bow not shooting issue
Hey everyone, so i have one issue with the game, whenever i pull my arrow on my bow, and start aiming sometimes it doesnt shoot, anyone had similar issue? No crash, no graphic errors, no nothing, just that, it really bugs me coz i cant really play without a bow :/

Are u using mouse? At first its a bit hard to coordinate right button to aim and pulls and left button to shoot. I can mistake by releasing right finger first that cancels the shoot. Probably similar on controllers.

Yep, Xbox one Elite controller, not always firing the bow when it's pulled back. Thought maybe it was the shorten bump stop or some setting I customized but nothing seems to fix it.

im not stupid, im doing everything by the book, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt, it happens rarely now, maybe coz i changed bows, but still

Jesus, you got banned for saying this lmao.

Sorry Hokiroya, it was not my intention to insult. Its just that it happened to me out of bad coordination of fingers due to nerve damages. Apologies. Hope someone else can help you better.

I've found that, in addition to accidentally releasing the aim too early, getting hit by anything or slipping on uneven ground while aiming cancels the shot, which often happens to me just as I'm about to release the arrow.
It confused me at first, but I started noticing it after a while and started adjusting my tactics to give me more room to use the bow.

Using controller, even mouse and keyboard takes time to learn. My advice is learn concentration early extend the duration and then hit shift to slow time.

For me it happens randomly, what I did noticed it usually happens when enemy moves out of my aim, like "your aim is ♥♥♥♥, we wont let you shoot"

but sometimes it happens totally randomly, no idea why, never happend on ps4 tho

I have this problem too, often it's frustrating while other times it doesn't show up for a while

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
