Can't exit any vehicle in bf2042. No matter what I try, please help

Gday All,

On PC. Worked fine until about a week or two ago. No changes my end.

Tried plugging in a gamepad and holding "X" to exit as well as the "E" key on the keyboard. Does nothing unfortunately. I also checked key mapping and remapped the exit vehicle key to test, still doesn't work.

Doesn't matter what server or what vehicle, I can't exit them. I've tried swapping weapons and stuffing about with anything else I can think of. I've done a repair install too.

Any suggestions ? I logged a call with EA HELP and they sent me an article about graphics performance which was completely irrelevant and didn't help at all.

Thanks.

    I think it was another one of their stupid ideas.  When the vehicle is taking damage you can't bail out or worst yet, you spam the E key and they jump right back into the vehicle.  I've also died on exiting copters getting caught up on the wings, another stupid idea!

    Yes, all vehicles all game modes. It did not matter if the vehicle was damaged either, so i could spawn in anything and not be able to exit it from the moment i was in there.I did fix it though after trying everything else I could think of. Note the "E" key worked for getting in vehicles, just not getting out.

    I went through each screen in the button mapping and reset it to default.

    For anyone with this frustrating issue, the things that did not help me but might help you :

    * Repair install

    * Change Server

    * Change Map

    * Change game mode

    * Change character

    * Change weapon being held

    * Fiddle around with swapping between weapon

    * Spam the E key a heap

    * Plug in a game pad and see if vehicle exit worked using that

    * Log a call with EA, this was particularly bad as i clearly explained the issue and got a response about graphics card glitches and slow frame rates.

    * Remapped the "E" key to the vehicle exit function in the settings page

    * Reset key mapping on just the vehicle control page

    What did work :

    * Went to control mapping, and page by page set mappings to default. I had already tried just the vehicle type one.

    Result :

    I can now exit any vehicle on any map with any character as I should be able to.

    I do hope this post might help someone who might come up against this issue. I should clearly also note all my mappings were to my knowledge default, i've never attempted to change anything there I just play with the default key mappings and always have.

    Cheers.
