    For some reason, my left mouse button won’t fire or throw or do much of anything. I’m using a Mac. I know the Control key gets my arm ready to throw or fire but I can do absolutely NOTHING with the left mouse button. There’s no control reset in the game. There’s no key mapping option to change the key. I’ve loaded and quit the game a number of times to no avail. I’ve tried different mice. I’d hate to restart the game and return to the beginning only to lose all the distance I’ve traveled. I’m trying to restart the transit system and have failed because I can’t throw the EMP or use the gun. Any ideas? Thanks!

    In the P.C. Version how do I Melee attack?
    I have a flare in my hand and I pressed the left mouse button [lmb] and nothing happened. I walked near a wall and did it, nothing. I changed to the medpack, still, nothing. I can aim and throw the flare just fine, but I can’t melee attack.

      If you’re talking about the Flashlight, you hold down whatever button you use to turn it on. For PS4, the Triangle button turns off the flashlight, but HOLDING IT DOWN will recharge the batteries.

      1. the trick to the game is to save up ammo, stealth a much as possible and to survive right?

        To use maintenance jack to open doors on an iMac you use the A key? What do you mean (left)??

      I saw somewhere that you have to use LT (for Xbox) to hold your breath but I don’t know which button you can use on PC.
