    drone and binocular not launching on start

    i got this error few times - when i start play i cannot use drone and binocular - just buttons not working.
    I got to restart the level or time shift and then it comes back working, if i just rebind it, then it's not working
    the problem happens maybe because i got gamepad also connected to use with heli and cars, but actually it shouldn't.

    also i've metioned that i cannot rebind buttons for gamepad.
    buttons mapped somehow different. not like you got it mapped on picture.
    i didn't find the way to change it - just wonder why? it's a usual config thing.
    i know x360ce, but it's a side code

    Hi OeAi,

    Thanks for reporting that to us.

    Have you tried not having the controller plugged in, this isn't being offered a a solution just to test, will that stop the issue occurring or does it happen regardless?

    This happens me sometimes too. Just randomly I would hit the Z key to launch my drone and nothing happens. Every time I press it there is a faint 'reject' sound that accompanies the drone not being launched. I havent checked if this also applies to the binos.

    This doesnt happen all the time but when it does its game breaking. I have found success in fast travelling out of a region and then back in. Which is no good if you are trying to hijack a convoy at the time.

    I am not using a controller.

    Happens to me all the time on xbox and on pc, and has been happening for a couple of years.

    I just ran into this today on another playthru of the campaign in single player. I went to Halcone House to get a rebel op side mission support upgrade and launched the drone to scout the area. Worked fine first time. Then after I grabbed and interrogated the person to finish the mission I could not use the drone after that, z did nothing, I could still use binoculars however. But none of the workarounds I have seen mentioned by people with this problem fixed the issue until I used fast travel to goto the local rally point. Unsure if this is related as this issue is from a long time back and isn't listed in known issues anymore so apparently it was felt that it was fixed. But apparently not.

    Hey Vegasman13! Thank you for the report. Has this happened any other time besides then? Do you have any custom key bindings at all?
