Re: WASD/arrow keys not working for camera since latest few patches.

@Avalonica Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

- Press Windows-Key + R
- Type: DxDiag
- Click on Save all Information.
- Attach the Text File to your post

Which camera mode are you using ? Did you invert scrolling ? What happens if you set the keyboard setting to US keyboard layout ?

    I've given up for now. The problem, whatever it could be, is obviously hardware related in some way. And since literally *everything* else works just as expected on the computer I'm not even going to bother any more. This issue is only tied to Sims 4 and the camera movement using WASD/arrow keys. Every other hotkey binding works(went through a listing on a site). WASD and the arrows keys(like I stated earlier) works just fine in the sims console.

    As for the language things I've been through that multiple times. It was the first thing I suspected to be wrong. I mean let's be honest if a clean install of windows on a formatted drive, clean install of the game doesn't work then the issue is not going to be solved easily. 

    Edit: Please answer me this before I leave, if you click on TAB or BACKSPACE in the game does it move the camera?

    @crinrict I found the solution. Its a problem when your keyboard language switches. for me on win 10 its done with alt+shift. By switching back to my original the keys now works as normal

    Thank you for sharing this I've been having this problem! It's still a bit annoying, but thanks.
