Bug: Pressing E, but cannot pry window open

Question

I noticed this bug for the side-mission "Check, Mate", which involves breaking into Archie Maxwell's house in Mourningside.

I'm prompted to hold E if I want to open the window, and then to tap E repeatedly to pry it open, but it won't finish no matter how much I tap it. This means the side mission cannot be completed, and you have to reload an earlier save.

This is due to a bug in the PC version, where your monitor refresh rate sometimes has improper effects on the gameplay. In my case, I had it set to 120hz.

Make sure your Display settings are set to 60hz and try again, and you should be able to pry the window open normally.

Not the first time that a computer monitor was the culprit of a "bug." – Timmy Jim May 30 '17 at 11:32
The strange/unpredictable part is that it's just one point (perhaps the only one in the game?) that shows symptoms, so it can pop up long after the changes seem stable. – Darien May 30 '17 at 17:15
