This document is a collection of all known issues and workarounds (if any).
If you find an issue not already documented here, do let me know.
All in all, I hope you'll find that none of these known issues are show-stopping bugs. (But if you do discover one / think otherwise, let me know!)
Adding third-person cover hasn't been a trivial task at all - thanks for bearing with me as I work out the kinks!
All known issues:
Cannot move directly rightwards in cover.
- WORKAROUND: Use right + forward to move rightwards -OR- face the right, then move forward.
- Related issue to rightwards movement: switching cover side to the right.
- Facing left is as simple as pressing the left movement button
- To face right, just hold right movement (first) and then tap forwards.
- This is an issue with Bethesda's animations! Difficult to fix until animation tools are available.
Weapons switched via favorites hotkey while in cover don't show up.
- WORKAROUND 1: Entering and then leaving VATS will refresh your character.
- WORKAROUND 2: Switch weapons from the Pip-Boy.
- WORKAROUND 3: Switch weapons before you enter cover.
- This is an issue with Bethesda's animations! Difficult to fix until animation tools are available.
Cover doesn't fully work with scoped rifles that bring you into first-person when you enter sights.
- WORKAROUND: None.
- ALTERNATIVES: VATS - You can use the cover-peek available in VATS to target and shoot.
- ISSUE: Because these scoped rifles bring you into first-person mode, and this is a *third-person* cover mod, you end up in the same spot without peeking out of cover!
- I am looking into detecting when a scoped rifle is used and moving you out of cover appropriately.
Cover doesn't work with melee weapons.
- WORKAROUND: None.
- Compatibility with melee weapons is not a priority at this point in time.
Limited Power Armor support
- WORKAROUND: None.
- There is limited support for Power Armor in Fixed Camera mode and no support for PA in Dynamic Camera mode.
- Coverpeek is available in Fixed Camera mode but not cover animations or cover-vaulting.
- I'm not currently planning to further develop cover for Power Armor unless there is demand for it.
Cover Vaulting works anywhere.
- I leave it to you to use cover-vaulting appropriately. :)

I do the next smartest thing and that was to copy over the appropriate text over from my Fallout4.ini file and into the cover ini file. Again, the same issue.
If there is any way to solve this issue other than removing either mods (Because this is a great mod and I would definitely want to use it. And the vanilla camera positions are trash.) then I would be a very happy individual. As will many others suffering the same issue.
cause I LOVE this mod and I just built my gear around it
[Edit]
Oops i should apologize i went to this before i checked further on the downloads I apologize pls ignore this post I'll let you know if it works though
