Fighting a Wolf

[trijjicon]

There is a wolf I need to get by to get back to Roth after finding his pack. I see the prompts but struggling on this one. On PC, it is the left-right arrow keys (right below the Insert-Home-Page-Up Set? And then do I need to hit F or tap or hold or turn it loose and when? Then hit, tap, hold or turn loose the E? Nothing is working for me on this one.

If you have to 'struggle' in an event, you're going to be using whatever you bound as your movement keys. Typically, this is A (Left) and D (Right). Take a look in the keybindings and pay attention to the four binds with red symbols next to them. They will be used in the QTEs: Use (E), Melee (F), Dodge (Shift), and Jump (Space). Hope that helps.

So, it is the A & D not the <- and -> on the right-hand side. Hmmm----- I hope that is it. Thnx

The weird thing is that there are almost identical QTEs earlier in the game and you obviously made it through them to get to this point so I'm having one more idea here: if @Fuzzy.Bunny's tips won't work then try limiting your FPS to 60.

There's a chance that game is glitching because of running in too many FPS. It's known for causing a lot of weird issues not only in this game, but also in 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' and 'Shadow of the Tomb Raider', so I wouldn't be surprised if that was it. And it'll take you literally few moments, so it seems worth giving a shot.

What actually happened was, I started the game and then left it for awhile. But if u check the prompts it gives <- and ->... not A and D. A and D worked fine and that wolf is so dead. xD

Awesome, so it's not technical issue after all.

Thanks for the update and enjoy the rest of the game ;)

Thank you.

I get where you're coming from.

Bugs notwithstanding, it's an issue of UI clarity and the game being designed with consoles in the forefront of their mind. The weird thing, for me, is that it should be pretty simple to code for indicating whichever keys the player has for Left and Right -kind of like they show the QTE symbol when fighting the wolf, but at the bottom of the screen they tell you what button that is based on you keybinds.

It's a weird issue to have, but, hey, enjoy the game.

:) I don't even know what QTE means. But I'd think coding shouldn't be a problem with Square. I had troubles all along the way with Rise and Shadow. Workarounds got me thru Shadow ( I think it was) but the other I just had to quit the game because there was no way to get back out a flooded room (because I went in another direction to get to where I needed to be and did not break down a certain door that would allow me to exit). I tried in vain to backtrack but there just wasn't any way I could find to get out. I'd had enough.

QTE - quick time events. When a game shows buttons on screen you have to press or mash.

Understood and thnx.

What fps are you getting?
I've seen mentioned, in a different game page, that if your fps is too high, the prompt doesn't always appear, or does appear but disappears too quickly. If you limit fps to 60, they appear as they should. This is an older game that that one, which makes the fps 'fix' more likely to work.
Saying that, I'm getting an average fps of 120 without getting this issue, but I am using a Steam controller.

Oddly enough for me I had 60 fps on Shadow and Rise. On this one, I'm getting 24 fps. Invidia 3080 TI.

Oh well, it won't be that then.
