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.

@3DiE9djua2You've probably noticed I occasionally bring up the 1990's, and I remember BBS posts that influenced my tech writing style decades ago. I'd guess there's probably a bit of a generation gap if you're used to things being shorter; while on my end, things are too short from my own perspective; often lacking detail.

Anyway, while my writing style's not going to change, I do understand where you're coming from, and appreciate your taking a respectful approach to broaching the subject.  I did find out other people were having problems with button assignments and tried a solution similar to yours that was suggested by @skill-or-die in another one of their posts, and a facsimile of the solution did work for assigning the secondary mouse button because instead of double clicking, I had to hold the secondary mouse button, and then single click the function I wanted it assigned to.  Unfortunately the same method doesn't work for the 3rd & 4tjh mouse buttons, and neither does the one you or @skill-or-die recommended, but I do appreciate the suggestion because when I read @skill-or-die 's post with the same advice it did get things moving in the right direction for the secondary mouse button.  🙂

I took a look at your screenshot, so whatever it is that's specific to your PC's configuration is apparently working well with Jedi: Fallen Order. It seems that the experience I've had along with many others is the more common.

In short, I'm glad ( and a little envious ) that it's working for you as well as it is. It would simply be great to see the developers patch the game so everyone else, myself included can say the same. :D

Happy Holidays. :D

    @3DiE9djua2 Yes, and only a facsimile of it worked. I added the details to the second paragraph of the initial reply. Forgot to include it the first time.

    Basically anything that gets persistently assigned L Alt ... being the 3rd & 4th Mouse Buttons along with the secondary mouse button didn't require any double clicking.

    The solution ONLY worked for the secondary mouse button, and it was that I had to hold it down, and then click the function I wanted it assigned to once.

    The Control Binding UI is definitely not consistent for anyone, that's for sure.

      I just noticed if I sit in the menu for a little while I could just hold and bind everything (like the instruction says) afterwards without even having to to do the double click trick.

      Makes me believe the client is using all resources on something else (aka poor optimization) making it not registering every click you make in the key bind ui.

      @Unverschamter 

      I just got another hint from a friend who had similar issues like you to use the double click method.

      He found out that using the double click method with his left mouse until it started to bind, then switch and hold the key he wants to bind would work. if just hold the key didnt work he would do the left mouse again until it started to bind, then switch and do the double click method with the key he wanted.

      Its stupid but he also managed to bind all keys just like he wanted to in the end.

      Basically it looks like that if you are persistent enough it will eventually work. 

      This definitely needs to be patched but I dont see a patch coming in the first week due to all the stuff devs need to go through to release a patch.

        @3DiE9djua2 Yup, saw similar behavior myself too, just a little different because the UI's not going to take most of the buttons and keys I want to assign to the functions I want to assign them to just like a lot of people are also experiencing.

        Basically, the system I'm using is overpowered on resources for what I'm using it for because I'm running a Studio Grade E-Mu sound card with just about every Dolby & DTS codec since 1998, on a Xeon with 12 cores , 2 GTX 1080Ti's with a Total of 16G/B RAM, and 256G/B of ECC RAM. My storage tally alone is nearly 16TB altogether with almost half being free.on all drives. I know, overkill, but for something I only build every three years, I like things to last.

        Also, I'm running on Windows 10 Enterprise, so resources for hardware and software aren't really an issue.

        NOTE: If anyone's wondering about the heavy duty specs, truth is I try to build a couple systems every 3 years for use at home, and I don't know what I'll be using them for ( work or leisure ) when I start building them because my goal's just to stay on up to date hardware, so occasionally I wind up with a server grade system for running my regular activities.

        I'm thinking along similar lines to you in that the game's just having problems interfacing with some hardware through its own background processes and some people are affected while others aren't because with PC, there are tons of choices for hardware, and everyone's got something a little different with some configurations having more common sets of hardware than others.

        Hopefully the developers figure out why the binding UI's so wonky for so many people. You're just one of the lucky ones while most of us, well, not so much. 😉
