Crossbow Issue - Doesn't shoot.

From time to time, The if you are playing with crossbow, it will not shot, even if you have ammo, you will be forced to reload it, and then it will shoot.

+1 to this.

Reloading will fix the issue, might be a desync issue.
+1 for this. My character randomly sometimes not shooting is currently pretty much the only reason I'm dying from time to time, and it's really annoying.

I think there are 3 issues which sometimes cause it to not shoot, or shoot in the wrong direction:

1. Sometimes when you click and hold during reloading, it won't shoot once done reloading;
2. Sometimes when you click and hold targeting an enemy, and then the enemy dies or is out of range (can't reproduce this anymore now though);
3. However, when you click and hold targeting an enemy, it will 'lock on', no matter where you aim. This most of the time doesn't make sense, and cause you to do effectively nothing, for instance just spam glacial bolts on top of each other, not damaging anything.

The game should:

A. Always (start) shooting as long as the Crossbow Shot key (probably 100% left mouse button) is down;
B. At least give us the option to completely disable 'auto aim'; but just always shoot in the direction the mouse pointer is pointing. To be honest I'd even completely remove this, since it's probably only ever used, maybe, for the first 10 monsters you encounter in the game using 'basic crossbow shot'. As soon as you get even just Fragmentation Rounds, the very first skill, you're already doing AOE and you no longer care about this auto-aim.
