Remapping bug for hybrid scopes

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC

Enter RAM memory size in GB 16
Are you using any software with an overlay? No

Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen? There is NO SERVER BROWSER to pick a specific one. It happens on any server.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 16.11.2021 19:00 and any day before since early access started
Summarize your bug Key binds for switching hybrid scope zoom levels cannot be remapped. It is supposed to be the melee key, yet when melee is remapped, the F key is the only key that can change zoom levels.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start the game, remap the melee key, equip a hybrid scope (e.g. "Maul Hybrid 1,5-3x") on any weapon, try to change zoom levels with the bound key.
What happens when the bug occurs? The player is not able to change zoom levels on the scope.
What should be happening instead? The player should be able to change zoom levels on the scope.

  • A bit different situation in PS platform - changing zoom cause player to change stance - prone, crouch and standing. It is annoying and totally disallows you to fire in controlled way (example behind cover....)

  • Also mapped melee to F and Mouse 4...

    Melee works, but changing scope does not unless used by F

    Looks like remapping is not bound to melee as well as has no separate option to play with... It is annoying one...

  • Yes, the not working remapping of action is kinda the worst bug for me in the game.
    I also have melee mapped to a mouse button, but when using it, switching optics doesn't work. Only the hardcoded F key works.

    When downed, pressing the remapped jumping button (as indicated on the screen even) doesn't work either, only spacebar works...

    When driving vehicles like the hovercraft or the jeep and using the arrow keys for driving (up arrow accelerating, left arrow to turn left etc.) is impossible in third person view because the camera keeps rotating whenever pressing arrow left or arrow right.

    Please fix these hardcoded action mappings as soon as possible, this should not exist in code in a modern game these days.

    Patch 3 didn't fix this. When Alternate Soldier Buttons is selected, they should just assign the zoom change to the B button (O button for the PlayStation).
