Overload Problem?

Sometimes when i use the skill (light attack and heavy) the skill wont' activate for me. I keep clicking or even holding the heavy attack down but the skill does nothing.
Does this happen to other people too or is it just that my PC is being a dumb dumb?

    So why aren't they trying to fix it since it's a skill bug? Sounds pretty important to me.

    You can do just as much damage with meteor and get better Dps in longer duration fights.
    I didn't choose tank life, tank life chose me.

    Yeah that's what i was thinking about using instead of Overload. I don't have meteor unlocked yet but i'll prob use the summon ulti until i get it.

    Overload is good for lazy high dps but that gun likes to jam. Plus you lose functionality by hoarding ultimate in-between bosses.

    Usually it will be fixed is you press block and continue clicking your LMB.

    Some people also bind LMB to their scroll wheel, Ive heard Overload will never heavy attack when you use scroll.

    Yep, overload getting stuck has messed me up in vMSA many times. I either get stuck heavy attacking or am unable to attack at all, and I have to spam bash attacks until my character snaps out of it. Hopefully it gets fixed!

    Not sure why people can't figure this out on their own... happens all the time, just click BLOCK, then go back to Light attacks. That solution always works for me.

    Really? This is much faster than my current workaround (disable overload and re-enable). Will try this from now on.
