Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - M & K Control Customization Extremely Limited

I was really looking forward to this game being released; however I've already come to the conclusion that it is unplayable at this time. In the past I've written on other forums about "The Principl...

    @Unverschamter no problems. I'm no youngster myself but I know that most people these days just skip long posts. The Twitter generation if you will.

    Did you try the double click method? Just select what you want to rebind so the long text is shown (hold button etc), then double click (but the second click should be held) the button you want to bind.

    And I agree that the devs should patch it so the the text hold the button... actually was true for all.

@Esquire1980- On my end, not concerned about refunds, I'm only concerned about these issues getting fixed ASAP by the developers with a proper patch. Also, refunds are off-topic, and if people want refunds, fine, that's a personal preference and prerogative, but is off-topic for this thread.

It's asked that people please at least stay on topic by making their posts about what is felt to be expected for control customization options in a PC game; however specifically Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in this particular case.

Thanks.

There are a lot of people having problems with Using Steam and playing this game. I only have Anthem right now loaded on my gaming notebook. Probably going to get this game if it is on Discount.

BTW why are so many people having problems with Steam?

    @ReposterI'm honestly not sure if this is the right place to even be discussing the Steam version; however I'm aware that Steam will sometimes redirect people to get support from the publisher when issues occur, so it's completely possible this is the right place to discuss issues with both the Origin Client & Steam versions of the PC version of Star Wars Jedi: The Fallen Order; however I'd advise that this thread should ONLY be regarding those using the Origin Client because Steam does have a Steam Community Forums of its own that people should be discussing the Steam version on.

    Regardless of whether or not the version of the game being used is on the Steam or Origin Client Platforms, the issues would be the same in either case, and the fact remains that a significant patch to fix the play control and control customization options is required to be implement for the PC version of the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order regardless of which PC platform the game is running on because both versions have identical problems with the play control and control customization options available in game at this time that do make the PC version unplayable with a Mouse & Keyboard that happens to be the preferred method of control for most PC players based on my own knowledge and experience.

    Please stay on topic since the issue at hand is NOT platform specific, but is rather instead, specific to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order regardless of the platform it's being run from.

      I got the game on Origin.

      Disgusted with this limited rebinding of the controls.

        Good luck with getting a fast patch on re-key-binding.  I doubt it's forthcoming which is why the refund for me.  Like I said above, there's only 24 hrs after log in to make the decision.  Not much time to wait to see if a patch will make it.  I'm sure they knew this was a problem long before we posted which is why the "recommendation" to use a controller comes up so fast at game launch.  With that in mind, there may be some reason why they can't altho every other game I've looked at for the Unreal engine includes what you and I are talking about as standard playability.

        But, your more than correct OP, the game is unplayable on a PC and at the least, EA should of made customers aware of this problem before money changed hands.  And I have to admit, I was looking forward to another Star Wars game.  Guess I'll stick with SWG.

      @UnverschamterOk not trying to derail this thread, I am monitoring both Steam and EA forums, so if I decide to finally get this game hopefully no more problems persist. I was thinking seriously about getting the Steam version though as I prefer using Steam than Origin honestly speaking.

      It probably is better to start a new thread to Start helping Steam users if they still cannot resolve their problem on Steam. Just wondering do EA Staff monitor the Steam forums currently?

        @ReposterFair enough, I've tried both myself at this point because myself and a few gamer friends had a little launch party for this game tonight, and we've all seen that the problems DO exist with both the Steam and Origin Platforms for the PC versions of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order specifically regarding play control and control customization issues.  Any other issue may or may not be platform specific, but the play control and control customization problems are essentially universal to both PC platforms, so this thread is fine to use for any posts about the play control and control customization problems that need to be patched.

        On Steam I can say that I just looked, and it appears that both Respawn and EA/Origin share the same developer/publisher pages according to the listing of the game with their shared developer/publisher page being here at the following URL:

        https://store.steampowered.com/developer/EA

        ...with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order being listed at the URL below:

        https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172380?snr=1_41_4__42

        I've no idea what the developers and publishers do and/or do not do; however the URL does at least make it known that there IS some sort of EA/Origin and/or Respawn Entertainment presence on Steam.

        As a set of rules, when issues like this come up with anything, I always suggest dealing directly with whatever forums apply to the platform the game is being used from and/or was purchased from because while we of the community are certainly capable of thinking on our feet when being inquisitive and empathetic about these kinds of problems ( i.e. "Are others having the same problem on other platforms?"
        ) ...in the event there are any platform related issues that also come up, I'm not concerned about the community getting derailed, I'm concerned about the developers getting derailed should this thread garner their much needed attention. That's why I suggested Steam users should keep their posts on Steam Community unless Steam Support says to do otherwise, and that Origin Client users should be using these forums here.

        Hope that helps clarify things, so that everyone can mutually benefit from some focus. :D
