Known Issues:
- During Testing I Had An Occasional CTD When Firing And Then Firing The Weapon Soon After

  • To Help Fix This I Added A Check That Won't Allow Targeting While An Actor Is Still Affected By The DOT Effect
  • May Make It Difficult To Fire Consecutively When Duration Is Set High
  • It Hasn't Happened To Me Since This Fix, But Let Me Know If It Happens And How If You Can Get It To Happen Consistently

- Sometimes The Targeting FX Don't Show Up Right Away
- Gives Unarmed Challenge Progress On Occasion For Some Reason

  • No Idea Why, But It Seems Intermittent

- Holstering Weapon Right After Firing Seems To Cause Some NPCs Hit With 0 Damage To Become Hostile

  • Just Don't Holster Your Weapon Immediately If You Notice This Issue 
  • Waiting Till The Flames Visual Effect Stops Seems To Do The Trick
