Cannot use "Use" key after exiting Mako in ME1

Occasionally after exiting the Mako I cannot use the "Use" key or perform any action such as firing or using abilities. My current fix is to quick save and reload which fixes the problem.

    Thanks @Fourie_Transform, this issue is on our radar! Saving and reloading seems to help in most cases as you mentioned, but we're on it!
  • It seems to happen when you exited the Mako before it came to a complete stop and although visually you're out of the Mako, for some reason, the game think you're still inside. Save and load will fix it in most cases but I found that just giving a extra second or two before you exit seems to fix that as it has not happened since I start giving a bit more time.

  • Found a bug with the interact key on the PC version of MELE: using the jump boost in the Mako shortly before getting out will cause the interact key to not function properly and the only way I've found to fix this is to reload a previous save. Only reason I found this was because sometimes I hit the space key instead of Q when I try to leave the Mako to interact with something.

  • You can also return to the Normandy from the map in the menu if you don't want to reload. I just did that to see if it'd work.

    @dragornid137 Okay, I've got a better fix, I had to wait for it to happen again to test it: save and load that new save when it happens. That's probably the best workaround for now unless someone has a better idea, since it seems to reset whatever it is that causes it and you don't lose progress or your place on planet exploration.
  • Got the issue today on, wasn't able to gather mineral and enter Mako. Reloading helped though.
