Can't use camera or throw rocks

[Roetgarpower]

I've got this bug which is pretty bad, I can't use my camera or throw rocks.
The buttons to get my camera out (Z) or to throw rocks (T) do nothing. Earlier on in the game I was able to use these buttons but suddenly they stopped working. I tried changing the key for it, didn't work. Tried to restart my game, didn't work.
This is pretty bad because for one, I can't take down outpost properly. Secondly, I can't complete certain missions where I have to take a picture of bodies.

PLZ HELP ;_;

There are multiple controls issues similar to what your'e saying, missing bindings, keys doing a different action than what's binded and custom controls screwing up other controls.

Hopefully there will be a bug fix soon, I'll try to post here if I find anything out.

Any fix yet

Wouldn't get your hopes up for a fix, apparently the exact same bug is in FC3. reference link http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/632849-far-cry-3/answers/340435-i-cant-use-the-camera-or-rocks

I just came across the same glitch myself and came across that info while searching for a fix. From the info on that post there was no fix and all you could do is restart, which kind of sucks if you're nearly 50% completed like myself.

I have the same issue. It started in a Coop game and I thought it was forcing only one user to have access to the camera and rocks. I am now playing in SP and the issue is still here. Hoping they issue a fix soon. I bought the Gold Ed, this will suck to play the whole game with severly impaired stealth abilities... If support for this game is going to blow I will never play another Ubi game. Watch_dogs was a bust and now this.

ez am afraid you wont be able to play the whole game , there is a certain stage where you have to use the camera to finish a mission , and further unlock the other half of the map , am stuck there , and trying to find a fix , i will keep you posted if i find a fix .

Is it a mission you can't bring a friend/pub on? I haven't gotten to that point, but for the most part having someone who can throw rocks/use camera has worked for stealthing (although it really sucks the person who is bugged can't do it themselves).

[Roetgarpower]

So far, the only fix seems to be to restart your game, as in start a new game.

the mission is from W , and you have to use the Camera to take a picture of a comander , and as for the sneaking part , which is my fav part , its just meh , that camera and rock dont work , i dont want to restart my game :( , i already cleared half the map and aquiered almost all upgrades.

I have the same problem with the same mission, i aced the whole first part and i have no intention to start over, get your ♥♥♥♥ together Ubisoft!

I had this occur at the same place (Willis mission) at around 20 hours played.
I restarted the game and I am now much further ahead at around 12 hours played.

There was a similar bug in FC3 which was never really fixed. The only fix appears to be starting a new game. If you race through it it will be much faster than waiting for a potential patch.

Yeah, but even if you start a new game.. what's stopping it from happening again??

[Ridder Anton]

And there is the problem, i'm always luckey enough to get the gamebreaking bugs.

I use C for camera and Y for throwing rocks without any problem.

[Ridder Anton]

The most people do, but a couple of unlucky players get this random bug.

I've heard that this bug can only occur when joining a coop session with someone else. Not sure if that is entirely true, but mine occured while I was playing with a friend.
I made a new game, raced back through to where I was and then began backing up my save before playing online. It's tedious, but it saves me from having it happen again.
