Ballista turret bug
I mounted a ballista turret to a quetz and it worked fine for a short while then just decided to stop launching chain bolas.

The turret will play the launch animation, the chain bola count will decrease by one, but no flying bola animation and no affected dinos, it just dry launches.

Is this a known bug? Anyone else run into this recently? Any ideas how to fix or known solutions?

I tried exiting and restarting the game, destroying and rebuilding the turret, emptying and restocking the chain bola ammo. Also tried destroying again and cryo/uncryo - removing saddle and replacing. So far no luck and running out of ideas.

Edit:
Single player with no mods on Genesis II. LMK if I am missing info that might help.
Turret is being used to speed tame a tek stryder - first attempt failed and te reset, trying to get balista working to move stryder to a better location and try again.

Seems to work when I have a target a in the crosshairs and when the quets is parked on the ground. Really weird bug/feature. Very Ark.

I recall reading somewhere that if Ballista is mounted on a saddle the chain bolla can sometimes collide with any structures on said saddle or worst case scenario your own dino that you are currently riding.

Maybe that's it? Some odd hitbox issue.
