Having to hold instead of toggle for crouch and run with update

[georgiainflorida91]

Anyone else bothered by new update making it so that you have to constantly hold the run and crouch buttons now to use them? And I can't even change it, the "customize controls" option is locked out for me. I'm not really sure how to play effectively now with this. Any tips, or think it'll be changed back to the old format soon?

Yeah, I have no idea why they did that. Who the hell is gonna keep holding crouch when they're trying to shoot enemies? Also, it seems like sounds are muffled, despite having my volume set at max and set to Heaphone Stereo.

Me... I like to be in absolute control of my character. It's not really that hard to be honest.

Wait what? This is one of the most stupid things I saw devs do. Glad I came in here before buying. I hate having to hold crouch or run.
Thanks for the info m8!

That is strange, I was just able to go into controls and change both running and crouching to toggle. Weird that they changed the default, but I wonder why it is locking you out.

Where? As far as I can tell, the only option to toggle crouch is in the keyboard/mouse control settings. I think people are talking about the controller. There's only the ability to now hold the crouch and run button, and no option the Controller settings to change it to toggle.

Yeah this is terrible

I am using a Dualsense controller via USB to get all the features. On the main menu go to options, then use R1/ RB to scroll to controller, then scroll down to customize controls, then square unbinds controls and you can set them to your preference toggle/ hold. Make sure to use a controller in the menus, if you are using mouse and keyboard it will lock you out of using customize controls even if your controller is connected.

I adjusted it in Steam Input. The gear icon let me access the settings for those buttons, including the ability to change it to toggle.

OK cool, yeah it is kind of convoluted. I wonder why they changed those to be the default controls because it would be awful to play the game like that.

[knife_knerd]

Didnt do that for me.

In a way I'm glad it's not just me that the problems in the OP has got going on. Annoying to say the least.

Go to settings, customise controls and unbind the hold to crouch

[someguyornot]

If you are using DS4, this is most likely the reason you can't crouch/run. Simply disconnect your Dualsense controller from DS4(obviously, keep it connected to your computer) and the problem should go away immediately.

Remember that there is a new studio touching the game's code so 99% sure the ones who made this are not the original devs who did the port and all the previous updates until this one. See the new intro video with the logo of that studio. It's almost like they are porting the game to PC from zero, all previously learned is not valid or has gone and that includes default control settings. BTW, this kind of default decisions are usual in firstly ported games from devs, not sure why if it's because lack of KB+mouse experience or because in general holding a button is more usual in console controllers.

What'd they do? Give this game to a bunch of interns to test out on? If that's the case, then they should DEFINITELY include a beta branch of the previous version until these new "interns" learn how the freaking game works.

Why should long-time gamers now be their "beta testers" until they get it right? They couldn't even update the game without breaking the sound and controls. God knows how well their skills are in actually patching the problems.
