It has not been fixed yet (as of 8th August 2020).

In the past some games used to do key mapping via linking actions to keys on hardware level, ignoring keyboard selection, or rather only using it to display which character is currently set for the key linked to the action. So e.g. changing QWERTZ to QWERTY in keyboard seting would change the character linked to the action from Z to Y without changing the actual key that is linked. I find such approach way better. However, I am not sure if recent versions of Windows somehow prevent game devs from doing that - or if they just forget/ignore some players use non-English keyboard setting as default. Not being able to link keys currently set to non-English characters at all is even worse...

@Killmymom it's nice to see that EA could always somehow manage to screw up. The world still makes sense :D

@Killmymom You just need to change keyboard language

@BansheeofMist Of course that's what i did back then 🙂. It's just that it's very inconveniet switching back and forth all the time when you want to answer a message or something similiar. Anyway i think that it was fixed already (haven't played it since December). Thx for the reply 🙂.
