camera can't take a picture

[Raving Squirrel]

PC - windows 7

I was doing to mission where I had to photograph the 3 interrogation chambers and kidnap Depleaur and when I went to photograph the rooms I raised the camera and the shutter didn't work. It didn't say "take picture" and there was no click and no progress.



I restarted the mission a few times. I tried standing in different places. I changed the order of prisoners. The internet said farcry 3 and 4 had a bug where some could not call up the camera or throw stones and the fix was restarting the entire game.



I could call up the camera and throw stones. And the camera had worked earlier but this time no click and no "take picture". I assumed that some pre-condition was not happening properly but what finally resolved it was I reset every single option back to default. The game stuff, interface, video, etc. Can't say exactly which was the offending setting and didn't care to research but there you go.


I had changed:

--changed resolution
--removed minimap
--turned all tagging off
--turned off loot animation
--Set to fullscreen rather than windowed,
and a couple of others. It makes sense it could have been tied to the tagging function.

I hope this helps someone.

I had the same problem on my Xbox One. Switching "Camera Tagging" back to "on" was all I needed to do to get it to work.

Thanks Great Gazoo,
That was my guess and thanks for taking the time to verify.
