Key binding bug report [How to avoid - inside]

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 8:04 am

I haven't found any similar thread nor the complain on this topic so I will start my own.

When you play with default key bindings, everything works fine. For me, however, the N - nanosuit button is too far away as well as melee button so I did the following:

Nanovision - Left Alt
Melee - Left Ctrl
Push-to-talk - Right Alt (As I'm not really using it)

The problem is, when I am holding one of the movement buttons, for example W and I am going forward I can't press the Left Alt (Nanovision) because the game will stuck at W. (i.e. You will go forward by yourself, without holding the W)

Same happens to A (Left) and D (Right), for example S never had this problem or I've never turned nanovision ON while going backwards.

It's very easily reproducable for me and is mostly happening on W button synchronically pressed with rebooted Nanovision button (Left Alt for me).

I somehow learned to stop and put my fingers off the keyboard to press only nanovision (left alt) and by this way it works fine, however it's not very practical in close combat etc.

I know this is a minor issue but I would be honored to play it finally 100% fixed since the patch 1.4 fixed for me memory leak issue in multiplayer.

It's only experienced in multiplayer AFTER change of key bindings from default to my own preferences. I would like to know if it's easily fixable and if so, I would be so happy. Hopefully I described the problem somehow comprehensibly as it gets very frustrating when you need to deal with this issue while being in-game.

Thanks for any info on this subject. Peace.

Ha, they even failed at that?!?!
Alt & Ctrl Keys etc. always deserve special attention when developing a game, because the operating system handles them kinda differently to allow the software combinations like +. Software engineers usually know that, or at least they notice it when testing... Sometimes I wonder how the game even starts and connects, oh wait, that's bugged too ...

so in your opinion "an easy fix" would be to unbind all of alt and ctrl buttons and put it somewhere around on for example X, Y etc? :) it will really make my day if this will be working and i can finally enjoy this game after some serious months:))

Yes, test a little. I'm using Left Ctrl for crouch without problems, so it might also just be that left and right Alt aren't really handled separately, so maybe just try to unbind right Alt, or both Alt keys.
Definitely the easiest fix is fixing it yourself, instead of waiting for Crytek to understand your problem. :D

You were right, it helped. So if you are able to use everything except left and right alt it works fine. I unbinded nanovision from left alt and put it to X and the problem is gone. Melee @ ctrl stayed, working without problems. Push-to-talk moved from right alt to P. Thanks for your help, I think I can finally enjoy the game 100% working.

(Bought it at the end of March =) )

erm, you haven't noticed Orbital Strike freezes, weapon switch and reload glitches, bad netcode, stats and unlock bugs, server list issues, multiple music instances ... ... and the hackers? Lucky you. I guess you're talking single player. Happy with the AI?
I can't enjoy the game at all, but I would love to...

Well yeah, I did notice that however for me it's success I can finally play the multiplayer itself, because before patch 1.4 I had memory leak issue and not saving stats. Patch 1.4 seem to fixed everything for me so I can finally play it... I know my point of view is maybe a bit too optimistic and this game is far far away from being 100% done without bugs, but as I said, I can at least play it now. And I like it. :D
