Cannot place video camera on tripod

[Necromancer]

As per title. Since the update I don't get an option to put camera on tripod, there is no white wireframe to indicate it can be palced, checked my keybindings, nothing changed. Fix

I just spam "E" until it finally places on it

Playing in VR I can not put the camera on the tripod

you need to hold down the button you would normally place with, I play on m/k and my button is "F" i used to just push F but now I have to hold it and then i get the silhouette to place camera.

same applies to DOTS etc.

For whatever reason the devs have taken away the ability to make use of items like the tripod and ghost writing book outside of the maps play area.

By that I mean if you were like me and you liked to mount the camera on the tripod back in the van and carry it into the building from there you can't anymore.

Silly change really that just breaks immersion. I used to love taking a look at the ghost writing in the light of the van for lore stuff.

Not any more, I guess.

What are you talking about? I can put the video camera on the tripod before entering a building or a home. I hope I’m understanding what you're talking about.

Anyway. So they changed the fact you have to hold F to show up the wireframe silhouette of the tools you’re using? Like the DOTS, the journal? Smh. Oh well.

Thanks everyone. Yes it works when I hold down F (instead of just pressing it) - I didn't realise it had changed.

To clarify I can mount the camera in the van this way as well.

It's a shame the mechanic was changed, as the white wire frame used to appear as an indication I could place the camera, but now it only appears when holding F. Oh well.

You should probably know what you're talking about before you start typing.

No they haven't you can still use them outside the house (i.e. in the van) sure you cannot pour salt in the van anymore I don't think, but you can still pick up and drop the tripod and then place the cam on them, just hold that button down and move the pointer over the tripod.

Yes you can, we still do that.
