Data-Interrogator not working

Issue Type (Required):

Other

Issue Description (Required):

I have noticed since the last patch I cant use a Data-Interrogator on missions, I can bring up the device and it starts its back and forth sweep and as I try to activate on correct letter it just doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t even make the incorrect letter selected noise, I have tried other letters on the row and spam clicking the button and nothing, it just seems unresponsive to input.
I haven’t heard anybody else with this issue too.
Zero mods.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Use Data-Interrogator device (the scanny one, not the initial skull device)
  2. behold, it doesn’t work (for me anyway)

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

No, I don’t use mods

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

I am also having the same issue but I thought it was one of my mods, glad to see that I’m not the only one.

I also have this issue since patch! On my end, I am using limited mods (scoreboard, true level, etc.) but am glad to see it’s a recent issue.

Are you using a controller, or has the key you’ve been using been re-bound?

QA are interested to see the prompts shown, so if you could include a video or screenshot, that would be much appreciated.

No I am not using a controller, and no it hasn’t been rebound.
Sure I will try and get some screencaps of it happening tomorrow for you guys.

Same here. No controller, no mods, no rebound, nothing.

got a screenshot of it for ya

one more screenshot if it helps

Which button are you using to click with? If you could try pressing the jump button (default ‘space bar’), shoot button (default ‘mouse left’) and interact button (default ‘E’) next time you are stuck in the data interrogator and see if any of them solves makes it work again (and report it back here) that would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, using E works. I’ve always inadvertently held E down without realizing it, and using this workaround made me aware of what I was pressing before/during data interrogation. Perhaps this can be tested.

I was using left click, as the on-screen prompt says, but I can now confirm it has indeed swapped to E, so I can use the device at least now.
On-screen prompt still says left click though.

All buttons should work, however if one of the buttons are held it will block the input from the other ones. The problem seems to be the game thinks you are holding one of the other buttons.

I’ll make them work separately and you should be getting a fix with the next big patch
