Unable to shoot webs to distract enemies - possibly a glitch?

[Shirou Yaksha]

I'm at 11% of the game, where the mission is to take enemies out silently. I'm asked to distract enemies by shooting webs at objects, but am unable to do so! The game asks me to hole the middle mouse button / L2 to aim, and then I just can't shoot out webs - there is no option to do so, I try pressing E / R2 to do so and just nope?? I've tried reloading the game as well, to no avail. I'm unable to quit the mission as well, so I just gotta stand there and wait... I'm going to reinstall the game just to see if that fixes it, but I doubt it. Anyone else face this issue? or is it just me?

I think those are the controls on kb+m, but on XBox controller Shoot Gadget is RB, not R2. I'm assuming you're playing on keyboard though.

1) It's been a while since I played that tutorial so I can't remember how it goes, but does it restrict where it wants you to aim, perhaps? Maybe move the aim until it's green?

2) Remapping is possible. I would check your mapping in Settings first of all, in case anything is different, and if you're definitely hitting the right buttons then you could try temporarily remapping to different buttons to see if that fixes it.

Are you just shooting anywhere or at like crates etc that start glowing green once you hover over them? If I remember it asks you to shoot a specific location to distract that one enemy.

It does ask you to shoot at a specific crate, yes, but yeah once I do aim and everything, nothing comes up. Clicking any and all buttons does not help. I have used the web shooter at enemies before, as I find it fun to stick them all onto walls. But yeah game isn't working for me i guess

I've feel like tried all combos of keys tbh. And Like I was saying earlier, I have used the web shooter before, so I know it worked before.

I haven't tried remapping, so I'll try that I gues... but honestly nah I've just given up on the game now. The story is also meh so I don't think it was worth it in the first place

Really weird, and stupid question but do you have ammo in the web shooter?
Can shoot if your ammo is out, and that can happen even at a tutorial spot.
THe only other thing I can think off....which would be really far fetched, In some games I had a aiming issue when I ran the game is a bigger resolution, that caused objectives to somehow shift and had to aim a few meters away to hit something directly.

ever find a fix? having the same issue here

[bigE]

same thing is happening here. On PC, not able to shoot my webs at objects to distract enemies. Doing the side mission, "Robbers Target Local Biz", and I can't distract a cop to look at a clue. I have been loving this game, but the fact that I can't distract enemies and play the game how I want to is very frustrating. Any fixes to this?

Having the same exact problem, has anyone figured this out?

i had this happen to me, what i did was put the game in windowed mode and it worked.
after you hit the box with your web shooter you should be able to return to fullscreen, if something similar happens try the same thing.

goodluck
