PC gamer here...
I cant steer a vehicle in third person!!!!
Every time I try to steer a vehicle, the Camera rotates while doing it. Its so annoying and frustrating. I have tried to change lots of keys with no luck.
Somebody help me fix this problem please.
Guys help please....
I am on PC not ps5 forgot to mention that...
Same here, I play with my mouse on the left and use the arrow keys for movement and driving. Cleared the keybinding of the freelook so the arrows were no longer bound to that action.
That didn't have any effect, so I changed them in all the vehicles, still no change.
Driving a vehicle is impossible for me so I'll just have to hop in the gunner seat and hope someone will drive me out into the battlefield.
Somewhere the freelook is probably still bound to the arrow keys even though they were unbound in the settings.
Might be able to find the config file that holds the keybindings and figure out a way to disable them, like I had to do in many games before (probably previous BF games)
What keyboard are you using.
Any Joystick added.
Seriously??? I spent over 100 bucks on this game all to get this silly flaw?
If no one has a solution then playing with vehicles in 3rd person is impossible!
I cant even request a refund because my steam gameplay time has surpassed 4 hours.
When I played Battlefield 2, 3 and 4, i never had this problem with vehicles.

Nope no joystick
I'm using my laptop kepboard
It's happening because some of the vehicles have the arrow keys hard coded for looking, and cannot be over-written. They need to remove this hard coding and allow over-writing of the command so that you'll be able to change the keybind.
The solution for right now (and possibly forever as I doubt they will fix this) has 2 options for you:
- use the arrow keys on your keypad for controlling your vehicles, instead of the regular arrow keys
- use an app that allows you to assign or change keystrokes to different keys on your keyboard, such as AutoHotKey (for example you can assign the default keybind that turns the vehicle to the left arrow key)
You must make certain that whichever keys you choose to turn in those affected vehicles, that it's not the regular arrow keys defined in-game. Use different keys, even the keypad arrows are ok to use...then use AutoHotKey to assign the keys you just chose for turning, to the arrow keys. When you do this, and then press ther arrow keys in game...you are tricking the game into not realizing that you are using the arrow keys as it thinks you are using whatever keys you assigned in-game for turning.
Thank you very very much!!
Problem solved!
I used the arrow keys on your keypad [num pad] for controlling your vehicles instead of the regular directional keys
I really appreciate that.
You're welcome :-)...there's the same problem with the SPACE key also being hard coded and not re-writeable. This forces you to use the space key to skip revive after deaths (you cannot re-bind it).
