KEYBINDS IN 2.2 NOT WORKING

SHADOWTHX shared this bug ago

Solved

Been waiting months for keybinds to be added. installed 2.2 configured my keybinds for movement on arrow keys. up=forward down=backwards etc..... enter the game press forwards and the character looks at his feet. ZERO MOVEMENT. Did the DEVS EVEN CHECK THIS ?

Utter GARBAGE..

keybinds in 2.2 NOT WORKING

::: ketchup :::

VS2.2 - Keyboard arrows keys bindings only moves the camera

EDIT: the same issue is already reported and answered in this other topic: https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers2/pc/topic/52904-keybinds-in-2-2-not-working. Discard my report

Hello,

With the addition of the new custom key assignment feature in VS2.2, when assigning the keyboard arrow keys to any action, the actions are not executed, the arrows only move the camera.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Assign any of the keyboard arrow keys to any action as a primary or alternate key (see example in the image below).

2. While playing, pressing any of the assigned arrow keys does not execute the action, instead, the camera moves.

Thanks in advance

Arrow-Keys don't work for Keybinding

Even in the latest version (Hotfix 2.2.0.1977), remapping the arrow keys doesn't work correctly.

After remapping them for movement (essential for left-handed players), the character only looks in the direction the arrow points (up, left, right, down), similar to mouse movement.

As you can see in the screenshot, the key mapping was configured correctly.

May someone can check and confirm?

I have the same bug

Same issue, I use left- and right arrow to strafe, but the character just rotates left and right. I cannot unbind the rotate left, or rotate right to fix this issue. Please Keen fix this.

Hello SHADOWTHX

This is expected behavior as Arrow keys are used for Camera movement which cannot be customized currently. We have however created an internal ticket for this issue. Additionally I have added this thread to our internal ticket (SE2-31593).

That would be awesome! Hope you guys can fix this soon with a minor patch.

This must be why my controls break if I just try to swap "L Alt" and "C" with each other.

"C" becomes completely non-functional, while "L Alt" does both crouch/descend (what I want it to do), AND it does free look. This means the grid is unsteerable while descending, effectively making the game unplayable for me.

I've been waiting for this keybind swap for a long time. I have over 3,000 hours in SE1 with these movement controls, and that's some seriously ingrained muscle memory.

The example and video promoting the new Keybind control feature in 2.2 actually showed arrow keys for movement. Jokers

Didn't anyone actually bother checking? For months, many people have been waiting for this and again KEEN failed to deliver.

Hello Engineers,

We are looking into this issue and although I don't have any specific ETA, the fix should be released soon.

Good stuff.

Some people get overly emotional, which doesn't serve to help in any way. Mistakes are bound to occur, hence why we're all here, reporting bugs.

Keen has been pretty good about fixing stuff in a timely manner that is properly reported.

Keep up the good work, and don't mind the childishness of those who don't understand the game development process.

Hello Engineers,

Arrow keys can now be correctly binded to movement controls on current Game version: 2.2.0.1991.

As such, I will close this thread.

Happy Engineering!

I hope it also fixed "L Alt" rebind.

Cheers to y'all. :)

Edit:

"L Alt" rebind still doesn't work. I'm trying to bind it to "descend" and "crouch" like I have it in SE1, but the free-look camera stays bound to it. This means I can't steer my ship while descending, as it simultaneously activates free-look.
