Howdy-

Action Button is sometimes working, sometimes not.

This is after 6+ hours of gameplay with no problems.

For some reason action always works when grabbing ledges and navigating menu, but when climbing/swinging it seems to glitch out kinda, as if I'm not pressing it, or sometimes pressing it for a second and letting go, resulting in not being able to climb (but sometimes it works)

However, its resulted in me being stuck in the game because I NEED to monkey swing to continue and its simply not doing it (In Tomb of Semerkhet). Sometimes she grabs on for a half second, but ultimately I cant get her to do it.

I'm using a gamepad, but I unplugged it and tried it with keyboard and still the same issue.
I also tried remapping the action button but still same issue.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or even know how to fix?

I've been waiting basically 20 years to play this lol...

UPDATE: I loaded a few saves back to before the start of the level, played through and was able to continue without the glitch. A couple thoughts:

-When I was unable to continue, I loaded a save right before I was shut in a room that required me to monkey swing. While exploring a little I noticed a glitchy thing happening with the scarab bugs and the lit torch. Earlier I tried to use the torch and had to throw it, and for some reason it had loaded in the next area, floating by a ladder with a swarm of scarab bugs nearby, also floating. Lara also seemed to be unable to climb properly, as well as monkey swing, so I loaded a save before the level, carefully played through the parts (without lighting the torch and throwing it) and I was able to continue with no glitches.

Not exactly a fix, especially if you have screwed yourself by not saving enough in different slots.. but I wanted to follow up incase anyone is reading this with the same issue. Save often and utilize all the slots with the old Tomb Raider games.
