Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or did I not read something?

Relic upgrades.

Fists - once charged they ALWAYS do the strong charged punch.
Projectile Launch System - once charged it ALWAYS shoots 5 projectiles.
Mantis Blades - once charged they ALWAYS allow me to do very far strong leap attacks.

Monowire................................................... More often than not, once charged, they will NOT upload the selected hack to an enemy and also will not spread the hack when hitting that enemy and others at the same time. It's quite infuriating the monowire relic upgrade does not work ALWAYS like the other ones do. It does work, but only sometimes....Why? Am I not accounting for enemy type? Like maxtac, SOMETIMES it'll upload to first operator and sometimes it'll spread to the other 3, and other times it wont work at all against Maxtac. Is it an enemy having strong ICE thing?

My experience, I'll fully charge the monowire and hit an enemy and it will upload. Sometimes that upload 'strong attack' will either kill them or make them weak enough the following whip of the wire kills them and wont transfer to nearby enemies. So I will charge it again to attack next enemy, it will work again. Then 10 times in a row it will not work at all. I will die on purpose and go back to get NCPD on me (works on gangs too) and this new life it will not work at all, ever, several attempts on different types of cops or even gangs that come out in the street to fight too. Wtf. I have read all pertinent info relating to doing this upgrade, I'm definitely doing it correctly. The other 3 relic upgrades work every single time, without fail. Is this a bug or just my game hating me? lol

The first thing to check is:

Do you currently, or have ever had mods installed?

As it's possible that a mod can cause a conflict.

Second thing to check:

Ensure you've correctly equipped the mod to the Monowire (Including making sure that the quickhack is not a higher tier than the Monowire weapon)

Third thing to check:

Ensure you're using it properly. Using FULLY CHARGED heavy attacks to upload the quickhack. Then normal attacks can spread it once the hack is active (It has to be active, not "Uploading"). Also ensure that you're not using any other source of a similar quickhack as the Monowire only spreads the version it applied (Guns like Fenrir and Gris-Gris can upload Cyberware Malfunction and other quickhacks for example) and it might not apply if the target is already affected by the same quickhack.

If it's still not working properly, then it is a bug and you can report it as such.

I appreciate the detailed response. I am sort of anti mods, so never had them never will. Everything else you described after are all correct but it still isn't working properly. I'll hit up tech support about it then. In the past they've helped me with special uninstall/reinstall processes and such that has helped some other issues (mostly performance), but this does seem like a bug I'm experiencing. Funny thing is, immediately after posting my question about it, I loaded the game and that was the very first time every single time I did relic whip to upload a hack it worked. I've never had this issue not pop up at least a little bit. Like it'll let me upload 9 times in a row, but will eventually not allow it anymore. So it was cool to use it the way I want to use it - against large groups of NCPD or different gangs and upload first then hit apogee and spread it in slow mo to the rest of the group, then smoke them all quickly with smart gun while I dbl jump dash in a wide circle around them.
