    Game Frozen (potential spoilers)

    Hey all, I am currently playing Far Cry 3's Story.
    I am at the point of gaining Hoyt's trust by beating up the prisoner. The prisoner turns out to be Riley so we fake the interrogation. Anyway, after I hit him once, the game doesnt "freeze" it just kinda shows me leaning back and forth like i was before i clicked to punch riley. It doesn't give me any other prompts, so there's no other action I can take. I have tried pressing basically every key on my keyboard, and starting from the last checkpoint multiple times. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Yes, my game is also becoming unresponsive after the QTE to strike Riley. I can't find any information about this issue on the internet.

    Wondering if this is another case of remapped keys. "?" ... try resetting your keys back to stock settings to get you though the sequence.

    Tried various changes to settings (low everything, defaults, etc) and still freeze after punching riley. Nothing on the internet that I can find for clues on where to go from here. This is a horrible way to end 30 hours of game play.

    Anyone find a fix for this?

    There is no fix coz there is nothing wrong there - however, if there is a problem with the hardware/temperatures/stability the game tends to vomit at the narrative video scenes (loading). Some people say they could get over it by switching to DX9 and later back to DX11 .. dunno.. try it!

    It works!

    I tried changing the controls back to default but after pressing every button on my keyboard, still nothing. I then reloaded the checkpoint and it worked! Sorry if this is WAY too late, I'm just playing the game now in 2020 😅 well, to be fair I've played this game a TON well before now but, recently just decided to get back into it and try to finish it. So anyways, here I am, trying to help fellow gamers out in their time of need. Hope this works for you
