Interact / Looting distance on PC: Anyone else having to get unnecessarily close?
Sorry for the title: This is regarding Far Cry 4.
This may be related to cranking up the FOV like I did, but it seems like I have to get extremely close to an item or body to interact with it for actions that require a button press (excluding takedowns). Looting chests/bodies, moving bodies, skinning animals Edit: correction, it doesn't seem to apply to skinning. It's getting a bit annoying for situations where I need to use a stealth takedown and immediately move a body, as I just swing my machete around several times before I get the very precise position needed (the angle I have to be facing is also very sensitive).
I don't remember ever having this problem in FC3. Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks in advance for any help/feedback.
EDIT/UPDATE: From what testing I've done, this definitely seems to be tied to the POV. By lowering my POV by one or two notches, it makes a huge difference in the distance.
I mean, I know by definition POV changes will make a difference on the perceived distance and angle for everything. But this is pretty massive. On one setting you will need to be right up inside of a corpse facing the exact direction to loot it. One or two notches lower in the POV and that range increases by a couple of feet. I don't think it's a depth perception issues, I think changing the POV definitely messes with some targeting values.
Anyway, the game is at least playable now.
