It's been fixed! I just download a gigantic game update — over 100 gigabytes! — and the problem has been fixed. It works perfectly now!
At least it does on my machine. You guys should download the update and see if it fixes the problem for you too!
This is not, in fact, fixed on latest patch. The above workaround still works, pressing the new + original keybind simultaneously will allow the new keybind to work until the next time game state is reloaded, but after a reload your new bind goes dead again until repeating the process.
There is no 100GB patch, some peoples installs re-verify when this patch went out for whatever reason so it can look like a 100GB+ download. It’s the same patch that released today everywhere on PC.
Ah, yeah, in that case, it definitely didn't fix it for me, either. (I did get a bunch of CTD's after installing it until I rebooted my entire machine, though. That was great.)
Yeah, I discovered that the fix didn't last. At first it seemed to work perfectly, but after a while I found the same situation that others reported, I had to use the F key again. Still, I'm delighted to be past that stupid blaster stance tutorial and able to continue playing the game. It would be nice if they'd get it completely fixed. However, I'm perfectly willing to settle for the current situation for right now.
