Since latest update i can no longer interact with workbenches or sit in chairs

[d43barber]

Since latest update i can no longer interact with workbenches or sit in chairs and was wondering if anyone else has this problem or if there's a way to get around it? I've already uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and still not able to sit in a chair to continue the free star ranger quest line

Shoot the workbench a couple times. Don't know if that also works with chairs.

I've noticed this as well, and I found a work-through that has performed 100% for me, and may even have something of a cause:

This issue happens most frequently when you attempt to interact with not just workbenches, but with any interactive object when you have nothing in your hands.

The animation will start to start, then stops, and you stand there for a minute like you forgot what you were about to do, and control is restored and nothing has happened.

When this happens:

Be sure to put away any weapon you might be holding, even if you don't appear to be holding one, and then draw that weapon using the right mouse button (if you're using a controller, whatever the equivalent for you is), release your "aim" and interact normally.

This same thing also happens when using aim mode "in the field". The game "forgets" how to aim, and you wind up with your weapon held slightly off-center (attached lasers will aim at an odd angle when you are being affected by this), and you will not be able to fully enter "aim" mode either. Same thing - put away your weapon and "aim" with your weapon stowed and your functionality will be restored.

It's definitely something programmatic that wasn't there pre-patch, so another patch is going to be required to remedy this.

Makes sense not only based on what I've seen in game, but with Skyrim when you couldn't interact with chairs, beds, workbenches, etc, you would draw then sheath your weapon to fix it.

Same problem. Shooting on the chair helps also.
