@ubi-mark Hey - thanks for the response - only saw it now. I realized myself + the previous poster were both using a PlayStation controller, myself on PC + them on PlayStation. So, I messed around with the controller a bit, unplugged, restarted game, played with the keyboard for a while, and this fixed my issue and now I can't replicate it. Seems it may be connected to PlayStation controllers. I'm using the PlayStation controller again and it's fine now - will take a video if the issue happens again.

@ubi-theberry Please see my post below. I'm happy to do a screenshare of some sort to show you how the game is behaving.

@treakle1066 I have the same bug - it's making me so angry - I've posted on the below link.

Hey guys, there's a very annoying bug reported on the link below, but you weren't understanding what the reporter was saying and responded with regards to a completely separate bug. I'm playing the PC version; I believe that player is on PlayStation. I have checked the integrity of my game files and have switched to a different bow, which hasn't helped.

My game was working fine until the intro to the cloak quest where you visit Gorm, just before England. It now switches between 3 states, every few minutes, and is driving me crazy.

1) Bow draws automatically and is constantly in 'aim' mode. During this time, I cannot interact with anything, climb, do melee attacks, etc. Usually, pressing my controller's menu button, then going back to the game, fixes it.

2) I cannot draw the bow at all. I can do everything else, melee attacks, interact with objects, etc. I haven't found a way to fix this except to wait it out as it switches to a new state after a few minutes.

3) Normal game state, where everything works as it should.

I bought the game full price about a month after it was released and I'm only playing further than the prologue now, so I am very frustrated as this is basically a game-breaking bug, a year after release. In battle, I suddenly can't shoot, so I'm dying in raids because I have to be within melee range non-stop when it goes into state 2. When I have to shoot something to progress, e.g. to enter a building by shooting a window, I have to stand around waiting to get out of state 2 before I can use my bow.

Please don't ask for a screenshot, as with the other poster, as this will achieve nothing. What will you learn from seeing Eivor aiming an arrow or doing a melee attack, because I can't draw my bow? This happens NON-STOP - best way to see what is happening is to do some sort of screenshare while I play and describe what I'm pressing, so you can see how the game is behaving. It's literally every few minutes. If I go do something around the house, I can guarantee Eivor will be aiming the bow when I'm back, without me having touched anything.
