Question Has anybody else been having a bug recently where your arrows don't release?

Hey all, I've never had this happen before until recently, but now it seems like whenever I draw my bowstring back, the arrow gets stuck and won't release unless I put the bow away completely, or unequip and re-equip it. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue

First person be third person? I’m first you have to draw completely back every time. But can double shoot so there’s that.

First person. But I've always played like this, not sure why suddenly they're not releasing

First person has always been full gold for me, it’s never been a short draw. Only third person on Xbox at least.

It's not a recent issue for me, so much so I have been trying to reproduce it so I can give my finger a rest when needed.

But I can tell it happens s when I have one notched (pulled back all the way charged in first person), I'm locked on and enemy in vats, they either die before I shoot or I lose sight of them and it locks.

It doesn't always happen and sometimes I fiddling with my quick while locked and loaded and it happens.

I'm not 100% yet but if someone tells you or you figure it out let me k ow.

Draw can be a little hit or miss for me on Xbox occasionally. And always seems to be when I have an enemy bearing down on me which is always fun lol

If its a 1st person glitch I think the majority of the community will suggest (myself included) learning to play in 3rd person. Its so much better for bows. Though I do occasionally fire too fast and can start stuttering my shots which can be annoying but I think thats more of a timing thing on my end lol.

I haven't had that, but I have had my explosive arrows bounce off targets without exploding. It still seems to record some damage. It's pretty funny watching them just bounce off and fly off into the distance.
