How to avoid unwanted lock-on horses while in combat???

[LorKh4]

As title says, seems to me every time I get knock off my horse, aimming afterward will camera lock onto horse that is in your view... almost get me killed a couple of times. Is there a setting to disable this?

There is not.

Eventually, you'll learn to avoid it, or be killed by that little 'feature'.
It can be annoying.

Note:
It's also annoying Online<---where wild horses are pretty much useless, worthless, and will get you killed 'cause you go into 'Auto-Tame' mode when near one...

Left click mouse and you will easily get away out of that ♥♥♥♥, unlike if you keep trying to aim at something else. Unfortunately you can't disable it and no idea why this even exists.

Its like sometimes you cannot interact with your horse unless you holster/lower your firearms, and the game turn you into that non-combat state when you fall over. I can't believe they leave this in the game. I am using mods that getting hits could cause ragdoll and I barely escaped last time this happened to me... I don't want to lose my stuff because I press the wrong button. dam nit R*

You do need to be unarmed to give commands to nearby horse. That's one of the reasons I found and remapped the 'Holster' key<---instantly puts away any weapon you're actively holding.

Generally speaking - the 'auto horse thing' is annoying. You'll work around it, get used to it or it'll get you killed if you don't<---and it will occasionally no matter what you do.

Also aiming and lock-on is the same button/function, so You can´t change it. And You can´t kill Your horse - and can tame any other horse. Reason is that they put so much effort in the horse testicles and horse poop, that those are working way more realistic than any player action. The only opportunity they missed was that You could occasionally see some fifth leg on male horses - but i guess they left this out, because some people would feel small when playing the game then...

Else the problem perhaps exists, but You should avoid to be knocked off the horse in the first place. There will be more similar things like this. The controls are messed up. Plain and simple. I´m unsure if i´ve played a game with that many unnecessary button clicks or that inconsistent controls before.

What? You secretly hate the game? We all understood it now....

You can´t give commands to the horse, except for whistling, which means following - and staying there - which both works with a weapon, but just within a certain range. So there would have been no need to remap the button for it. I´d rather remap it, so that You don´t accidentally pick up a weapon instead of holstering it, because You can´t just drop weapons - or that You don´t open the weapon wheel for a short time instead of either drawing, or holstering a weapon. But i guess picking up and holstering are the same function, no? Because You need 3 different buttons to pick something up, depending if it´s something to throw over Your shoulder, something which You can just pick up, something like a card, or something like a weapon. Just one separate pick-up button would be too much to ask for i guess.

You don't play this game, do you?
If you did you'd have experienced a situation wherein a Cougar was charging at a distance of about 20 yards and a wild horse is just in the view. The next thing that usually happens is 'Auto-Tame' kicks in - instead of the preferred 'Aim/Dead Eye/Mark' action that results in a Dead Cougar. While you're trying to avoid the 'Auto-Tame', the Cougar has closed the distance, the horse runs off and you are eaten.

Don't ring a bell?

No, I didn't think so.
(There isn't even time for a Poison Arrow in that situation - but you wouldn't know that)

You also don't know the difference between annoyed by something and hating something (BTW: I'm not 'annoyed' by you)

Erm - that was exactly the first sentence i wrote in the same post - I just said that aiming and lock-on is the same button. which leads to everything You described in Your example.

What You need to do is to be thrown off the horse and kill the cougar nonetheless with a bow after it. He dies while jumping at You. But You probably wouldn´t know that. ;o)

Expert "Hunter", I see.

Well - I do kill many after they take a swipe at my horse and I'm suddenly on foot (The Roanoke Ridge Cougar - particularly), but no - that's not how I normally 'Hunt' Cougars. I'm also eaten on a regular basis, 'cause I'm "Hunting" most of the time and S#&t Happens.

I go for the "Hunting" method - wherein I know, or at least expect The Roanoke Ridge Cougar to show up unexpectedly. Typically I like seeing him before he creates a lot of Drama for me and my horse.

It's another in a long line of bugs and game engine related glitches they never ironed out before abandoning the half-baked game; and with the actual shooting itself being, arguably, in the context of production values and the developer's resources, being in the worst echelon of the genre, it's mind-blowing that something as fundamental as being able to aim your gun while your horse is in the frame was overlooked.

this thread is very old and this issue still exist.
for me, when this happen i release and click the button again but be sure to look away from the horse.
