I am also having the same issue. Very frustrating as a left handed player - can't drive transport vehicles! Another related issue that IS ALSO IN BATTLEFIELD V as well is the "Hold to go to deploy" keybind being hardcoded to the spacebar. I rebind my jump key and the button literally says "(NUMPAD 0) Hold to go to deploy" but only the spacebar works to respawn.

Just change the keybinds for accelerate backup and turn right and turn left to the arrow keys, up down left and right arrow keys on the keyboardWhat happens when the bug occurs? so when disabling the arrow keys for freelook, and making them your driving binds... they work as driving binds but ALSO they still make them freelook as well. so they always stuck on freelook.What should be happening instead? simply... my mouse is my freelook, and I want my arrow keys to be my driving keybinds... but the freelook is stuck on the arrow keys even after you clear them.Thank you.

@BlackBriar80 The same problem never had this problem on the other battlefield games it makes it impossible to play this game they need to fix key mapping forward moving and moving backwards and left with arrow keys it wont let me map the keys to my arrow keys.

@roscos50 I think I've seen more than enough ppl mentioning PC keybinds that we should expect a fix in the first few updates.My thing now is the crashes. I can't play 10 minutes.

@BlackBriar80 Having same issue as well.

Still no fix, 2 more patches and nothing....Any official news when this bug will be fixed? Game has no infantry modes and if we play with arrows we cant drive properly 60% of all ingame vehicles.

Left-handers:
1) Put the A and D keys on soldier, vehicles (menu game BF 2042).
2) Open the program and place the arrows: right > D , left > A.
No input lag.

@audazsagaz Why are you posting this which has nothing to do with the issue that left arrow and right arrow cant be unbind and is always connected to look left/right?

@Radious1987 if you had done what I said, your problem would have been solved. I am left-handed and was experiencing this problem exactly. That solved it. The camera stopped being "free look" when I moved the vehicle.

@audazsagaz I have no idea what you said, open what program? Key Remapper? Never had anything like that, why would i download some weird program to change buggy controls in BF 2042? And whats with imput lag? Nobody is talking about any lag here at all.

@Radious1987there is the bug of the arrow key and the free look for vehicles. If you use this program, remap the key, the problem will stop. The bug exists in the game, but this fixes the bug UNTIL DICE FIXES IT.
and I said it doesn't add lag. that is, this is an advantage.

all left-handers who have done this, the bug has been fixed. They managed to move the vehicle left and right, without the camera moving with it. the battle tank doesn't have this problem, but the other vehicles did. If you put A for left and D for right in the game for all vehicles, including the battle tank (and the soldier too, even though he has no problems, just so that everyone can move using A and D in the game, but on the keyboard, due to the remapping, the left and right arrow keys, have the emulation of the A and D key. . ), and use the key remapper to put A as left arrow and D as right arrow, then everything is perfect as it should be.

This program is very well known and has won several awards. The developer exists since 2008 and is indicated in several reviews.

soldier and all vehicles: (using this = no free look when move with arrows)

@audazsagaz I'm sure this fix will work. That program is pretty good. But seeing as we're in the Bug Reports section, it's probly best to keep these threads as un-muddled as possible for the techs trying to fix this in-engine.

Any word on this? Does EA/DICE not have any left handers?
