Can't use guns or grenades.

I am having an issue that seems only present in the director's cut as i was not having this issue in the OG game. I am playing on a newer xbox controller (it is a third party if that would effect anything) and while the right trigger works for everything else such as holding on to the backpack straps or releasing grenades, it does not work with the bola gun or extending the grenade range before throwing.

Every single guide i have seen is not helpful. No restarting the game did not help. No restarting the game with the controller unplugged did not help. No turning off (or even on) steam input did not help. and it is not the controller as it was no a problem with the base game. I have tried going through every possible controller setting i can find and nothing.

Does this game just hate controllers? I have been liking what I've been playing but this might be an issue that just causes me not to play anymore than i have.

To be honest it might be the controller you are using because I have been playing with my old xbox 360 controller and recently swapped to a newer one on the directors cut and both have worked just fine and I have not had any issues sorry I couldn't be more help

This is it, I had an issue trying to use any "hold and release weapons" just like you until someone suggested to test the controller, when I noticed the RT trigger wasn't fully functional I disassembled the controller and realized that the magnet attached to the trigger which interacts with the hall sensor of the trigger was loose, I just placed it back and tested if I got a full response of the trigger, once it did the bola gun worked just right.

This game was coded with all sorts of key interactions in mind and because triggers can be partially pressed (Voltage increases the higher the magnetic field close to a hall sensor) it will provide that feedback to certain actions accordingly, that's why the bola gun and other similar weapons need to have an specific voltage feedback from the controller.
