Summarize your bug I change my WASD to the Arrowkeys but now if i want to drive and turn left or right the camera turns instandly to the same direction. Free Look while in ground vehicles will not unbind. You can set different keys but no matter what the arrow keys still Free Look in the default directions. Can you please !!! fix this bug for turning without free look. I reported this bug twice during BETA but not fixed.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Set right and left arrow to turn left and right. When you drive vehicle (transport) press left or right arrow you turn left of right but free look turn left or right too.
What happens when the bug occurs? Set right and left arrow to turn left and right. When you drive vehicle (transport) press left or right arrow you turn left of right but free look turn left or right too.

  • @ClanLord90 I am having the same problem and it is really annoying. The keybinds in this game are a joke. They need to fix this as it's ruining the game for me. It's hard coded somewhere and you can't find where.
  • i have this too, deleted every directional keybind in every vehicle and even on foot, when in a vehicle cant move but still look 90deg left or right when using arrow keys. Keybind issues go way beyond this, have not been able to drive or fly vehicles since beta launch...i literally only have half a game right now, this needs to be a major priority!!

    Yes you are right. It is terrible. Battlefield without vehicles is only walking simulator od dying in car simulator. I don't understand why they didn't fix it. I already reported it in beta. Driving is impossible and annoying. For left handed people who playing only on arrow keys  instead of WASD is game unplayable in car.  When I want to walk I have to play Battlefield 2042. When I want to ride should I buy Farming Simulator 22? Is that what the developer wants to tell us? 

  • Same problem here, i have to drive in first person view.

    And this is a big disadvantage.
