Stupid question prbly. Why Can't I shoot the rifle?

[e42311]

This game is fun right off the bat, even with some of the major flaws that I read two seconds ago. What's really grinding on me though is that I can't shoot the rifle. It's equipped. I loaded it. I'm carrying it, there is a buck 3-4 yards from me...

aaarrgh!

Anyone? I'm playing on a macbook pro 10.9.4. Mousepad. Left mousbutton is shoot, Right is aim. There isn't a point if you can't hunt.

Are you looking down the sights? You can't fire from the hip in the game.

Make sure to hit the reloadbutton once, to chamber the rounds for the first time.

[e42311]

Yeh, I chambered the rounds.

The game won't let me transition to the sights.

Maybe something wrong with my keyboard config?

Also when the scary doggy wants to play, it's all teeth. Can build strength but can't hit.

Very sad, otherwise, fun game.

Then it must be an issue with your trow/aim key. Check your controls, or maybe reset everything to default will fix it. It's the keybind for 'trow/aim' in the keybinds-menu. Default is rightmouse button.

Fun game indeed :-)

Are you using a trackpad or integrated laptop mouse?

It doesn't work for me using those, but that's a hardware limitation, not the game.

Normally, you would click the left mouse button while holding the right mouse button. This is not possible to do on Apple trackpads. See bug report here:

My workaround is to go to options->key bindings and map Throw / Aim to the tilde key. Then you can hold tilde to aim and tap the trackpad to fire.

If you have an RoG laptop its a driver issue. that aside:

push 3 to equip the rifle

push R to reload it (if it says 0:0 it means you have no bullets, otherwise the number left of the colon is how many rounds you have loaded)

hold down the right mouse button to pull up your sights

push the left mouse button to fire
