Steal the sleeping dart mission BUG

[stask222]

There is a bug in NG+ where you can't complete the mission in which you need to steal the sleeping dart on keyboards. You need to press F (default) but it doesn't do anything and you are just stuck after it. Also reseting the mission doesn't help. I wanted to get the last achievement but I can't because of it.

Steal the sleeping dart bug

Update: Using a controller works to get past this section (I can personally confirm PS5, others have confirmed PS4/xbox controllers work too)

Alternate solution by skymoonexe: "If you don't have a controller you can install virtual controller from SourceForge and use your keyboard and mouse as controller."

I'm on the mission "The Flames Have Been Lit" in New Game+ and have the objective to steal the sleeping dart. I did it just fine in regular NG but after either distracting or stealth attacking the guard, I get the prompt to pick up the sleeping dart (F). I've pressed it but the button prompt then disappears from my screen and I get soft locked. I've restarted the checkpoint, the mission, the game and my PC. Does anyone know a fix? I've tried doing it from the rhino horn and the web line, neither work.

If anyone else has this issue in the future, I used a ps5 controller to get through that part

Game softlocked on the mission "The Flames Have Been Lit" on NG+

So yeah, apart from the multiple crashes I've experienced, now the game straight up won't allow me to progress. In the mission "The Flames Have Been Lit" when I try to pick up the sleeping poison dart after distracting the guard, it wouldn't allow me. Neither from the vantage point, nor from the web line. Tried restarting the checkpoint, abandoning the mission, quitting the game and verifying the game files, nothing worked. It went just fine on the first playthrough, but not on NG+ it's impossible to progress.

sorry no, you can maybe try xbox or ps4 controller, maybe remapping the controls on mouse+kb would work too

Same issue here, completely soft-locked. Can't progress the main story.

GAME BREAKING SOFTLOCK

During the mission "The Flames Have Been Lit" you are eventually tasked to retrieve the sleeping dart from a sleeping hunter, but when you get him alone and the prompt appears to take the dart, nothing happens. The prompt disappears upon hitting the right button and nothing ever happens. Restarting mission, game, doesn't matter; bug is still there.

You need a dualsense controller to get past that. There's a way worse softlock by the end of the game where the game crashes during the last cutscene and your save file gets corrupted.
