Re: PC ver. Can"t Zoom With Mouse 2 in Tanks, AA Vehicles Etc...

@gexy1 for the zoom, make sure nothing else is bound to that function which includes the controller and keyboard columns that could be interfering with your bind.

What kind of mouse do you use?

For the arrow keys, it seems at the moment the camera is hardcoded to the arrow keys which is what's causing you to look left & right. Hopefully that will change with an update but not sure when.

    I have no controllers (joystick, Xbox controller or other game pads) connected to this computer. I also know that the controller inputs can interfere with the key bindings, I use a keyboard & mouse only!. On foot, vehicle, It's all the same to me. I know all about the keyboard bindings columns. I Delete all of the controller bindings because I never use them. I use a Logitech G502 for my mouse. Pretty sure the mouse is not the issue, I can zoom with mouse2 on foot, as gunner, flying a chopper or plane, everything else. Just not Tanks and AA Vehicles as the driver. I still can as a gunner or "nade" launcher or whatever.

    I guess I'm just waiting for an update.

  • I got Zoom control for my Tank and AA Vehicle Etc.. to work properly around the Dec 1st 2021 update. I won't even speculate on how or why my Zoom didn't work before Dec. 1 update, It just does now, and I am happy!  I still cannot turn left or right in "Light" vehicles without it making me "freelook" left & right at the same time though. 

    This only happens in "light" vehicles. ( hovercraft, ATV, Jeep/Humvee, Etc...) But this is OK because I would rather be a gunner or commander in those vehicles than only just driving them. I know that driving is fun but scoring "frags" is way more fun! 

    Like I said before... I have played ALL BF games since 1942 including all expansions on the PC the whole time! (BF Bad Company came out late on PC & was one of the horrible ones but nothing takes the cake like BF Hardline! What a pile that was...). I still never had control issues with those game like I do with BF 2042 still as of now!

    Fix YOUR Freelook problem EA! You never had this issue before!
