Can't cast charged spells?
After I charge a spell on a mage no matter which button I press the skill won't cast. In the tutorial, the shield skills worked but not on the mage. Anyone else having this problem?

Edit - A fix seems to be to shut down your PC, disconnect any USB controllers, boot up your PC and then reconnect the USB controllers. Tested it and it works!

Just release the button to cast it. At least that's how it works for me. Hold skill button to charge, and release to cast.

Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't work. It's really odd.

I am having the same problem. The spell just charges all the way up and nothing happens no matter what I release or press.

I've tried

- Resetting key bindings
- Verifying files via Steam
- Updated Drivers

I got a 980gtx, Windows 10 what about you guys?

I am currently using an Xbox controller, and from what I have found is that when charging a skill set to X, it does not work. However, if I move the skill to another button such as Y or B, it does. The keyboard has the same issue, but I do not recall what the keys are for it.

It's only doing it with the starting spells for me so far. I'm able to cast other spells fine.

Oh really? At what point do you get new skills?

Once you get to the rift stone and make your own pawn, there should be a discipline guy right near the doorway. You can learn new skills and rearrange them. I would move them off of the first default skill placement, and they should work.

Ah yes. I just killed the Orge and visted him. You're definietly correct as the Ice Boon seems to work fine. I know for certain those starter skills are not just bugged though because I've seen streamers use them.

High Ingle does not seem to work either, nor the healing one.

I've got the same issue. Any spell bound to X or to the left mouse button will not cast after charging. No button does anything except jump, which cancels the cast.

I have the same problem, thank god I thought I was just being stupid and doing it wrong.
I've tried rebinding all the keys too and it does nothing for me.
Anyone got new ideas? I don't feel like going out and buying an xbox controller just for this.

Oh and, graphics card won't have anything to do with a bug like that.

Yeah, I was just trying everything out of desperation.

Just a FYI - buying a controller doesn't fix this either. I've been using my PS4 controller and no fix.

I found out it's not just Ingle and healing spell. I switched to Mystic Knight and Fire Encounter doesn't work either. I'll be waiting for a fix.
