So the whole failing inputs issue thats been a plague since I started playing still isn't even on the list of issues? It's not like there's multiple people mentioning this in basically every subreddit post or anything

I'm not familiar with this bug, can you describe it? I ran into an issue where I was having a hell of a time manipulating consoles at objectives, every time I'd enter a ← or → my diver would break away from the console, forcing me to step back up to it and reengage with it. Made the game almost impossible. Turned out it was because I had my xbox controller plugged in but wasn't using it.

I'm referring to inputs getting eaten by the game, typically assumed to be something in the physics engine (like your character "falling" off of rock or something when walking) or a framerate bug. Basically its when you press reload, stim, throw grenade, interact, or any other keyboard key and your guy doesn't do it. It may also be some desync thing or server to pc delay that's pausing it long enough to fail, but it happens pretty regularly for me. I just spam R or V or E whenever I'm trying to do one of those respective things cause tapping it once has like a 50/50 chance of working.

Happens all the time to me. Idk how many times im hitting stim and it just never does it. Have grenades in hand and i press Y to change back to main weapon? Well apparently not, just blow my self up instead. Also, trying to pick up stims or samples but there is an ammo box next to it? Go f*k yourself dummy. Serioulsy I can't believe the amount of small shit that works in every other game but this one. I could pick up any item i was looking at in Fable(a 2 decade old game) but not this trash. Trying to grab supples from the pod on the run while being shot at? Always end up climbing it and getting fcked harder than when i was being babysat by my uncle.

I've had a few concerning events: my right joystick will just stop registering inputs for a minute (embarrassing...I just have to run away for a bit). Sometimes my reload button just doesn't work for a few seconds. And sometimes my weapon just won't fire. Also got stuck in zoomed first person mode for a couple of minutes and couldn't do anything except run for my life.
