Can't tag enemies while moving or looking since Arbites update

Issue Type (Required):

UI & UX

Issue Description (Required):

I can’t tag enemies while providing any input to the game. I must be completely stationary, not pressing any buttons on keyboard or mouse, and not moving the mouse/camera, to be able to tag enemies. I can however, tag all items and item types while moving around and looking around. This is expected and normal.

I could always tag enemies while moving/looking around, at all times, since the beta of the game. This has only started occurring since Arbites update. I do use mods, but I have also disabled them and behaviour is the same.

As reported by other users, I can also no longer tag enemies with a single tap tag type. It has to be set to double tap tag or doesn’t work at all.

This completely changes the way i would have to play the game, and slows me down considerably.

I am at 2000+ hours playtime.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Load into any game mode
  2. Try to tag elite/special/disabler type enemies, of any faction, while strafing or moving in any direction. Also try while moving the camera/looking around, i.e, moving the mouse
    3.also try tagging elite/special/disabler while not moving, and not looking around, and note that tagging works as normal (make sure you have double tap tag set as well, because tagging isn’t working since arbites for single tap tag either)

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

It seems if you set companion target tag to single click in the options for Arbites, you can’t tag normally anymore. Companion target tag might interfere with tagging otherwise too that I’m not familiar with.

Okay so just a quick update after further troublehooting this problem.

I can tag enemies while I’m sliding/in a slide, as long as I don’t move my mouse or press any buttons on my keyboard (my crouch/slide functionality is a press, and not a hold, if it was a hold, I wouldn’t be able to tag). So, it isn’t a problem with the player character moving or looking about, but the game must not and cannot receive any input from the keyboard or mouse to be able to tag again. This essentially makes me have to ‘stand still and not look’ to be able to tag. You could imagine how unplayable it makes the game, especially for quite an active tagger such as myself, tagging roughly 200 times a game as per scoreboard. Not to mention my ass would get lit up and riddled with bullet-holes by 1000 gunners if I just stood still trying to tag them.

Please fix this Fatshark. This is literally my favorite game and what I look forward to the most at the end of the day. I cannot play this game with how broken Arbites update made tagging functionality.
