Bow not charging properly
I've seen this posted before, but nobody answered, so here it is again.

At some point in my game, the bow started to not work correctly. At the start of the game it worked fine, charged normally, was an easy way to kill Uruks. For some reason, now it will either release arrows very quickly without charging them, 1/4 or 1/2 charge them before releasing them, or after one or two quick uncharged shots, will work normally for a few shots.
I think it started happening either right before or right after I went to Nurn.

I don't believe the problem is my mouse, since it worked just fine until this started happening and works properly for everything else. I've tried restarting the game, my computer, and cleaning my mouse out.

Does anyone know if this is because of the location switch, or maybe a bug with picking up a certain ability? I really don't want to have to reinstall the game if I don't have to.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Check your mouse for any macros. I hade a problem on eve online once and took me ages to work out I'd somehoe accidentally set up a macro by mistake. Like I must have hit some auto macro key or something. Once I went into mouse setting and deleted all macros it was fine again. Or possibly your mouse is at the very early stages of dying. IF you can test with an alternate mouse please do.
Thanks for the reply. I stole my wifes mouse and it works, so I followed with a mouse test online with my old one, and it's in the last hollywoodesque throes of death.

Might just be a microswitch crapping out... Depending on how steady your hand is, and how comfortable you are doing a mouse teardown, you could get in there and nudge the springsteel back into shape with a pair of tweezers and get a few more years out of that mouse.

agreed, I have taken my ancient Microsoft Sidewinder apart 3 times and fixed it. Each time I was about to buy a new mouse but the fix worked. In the end the thumb studs were hurting my thumb too much as I press too hard when talking in ts. So I bought a Shogun Bros gaming mouse which is very good, but then a friend randomly brought a R.A.T 7 round as a gift, been using that since. It's better. But I'd recommend both. :sleepingMouse:
