PC controls are terrible

[Possemaster]

Cannot remap roll to Q and E. This game was created with controller ONLY in mind. Arrow keys to adjust power to engines/shield while using WSAD to control your ship and use your mouse to aim. WTF I am not an octopus. terrible.
Performance is also very very bad. RTX4090 and 3840x1600 (3440x1440 ingame resolution) as the game does NOT support full Ultrawide only 21:9 3440x1440 the rest of the 60% of ultrawide users have bad luck, onlky getting 60-90FPS on Ultra without upscaling. And the game does not even look that great.

I dunno, while im inclined to agree it isn’t any worse than other bethesda games imo.

As a controller enjoyer. I do not care.
It's just as awkward controlling your ship systems with a dpad while using the sticks and triiggers to steer and shoot. IMMERSION.
Keep crying.

even on controller i hate how it plays

This is hot boiled garbage. It's utterly gross how they completely messed up the flight stuff. It's a space game. Why would you go against every 'norm' of flight sim and not allow us to remap Q/E to roll ? I'm not being hyperbolic, it's unplayable like this. Space Engineers, Star Citizen, Elite, hell even X4 has 'normal' standardized and expected flight controls. I have utterly no clue why they have not given us the option to remap this horrific key combination? What the heck are they thinking ?

BGS has always done this, i am a left handed player, the remapping on all games have been ♥♥♥♥♥. when developing their games they are a controller over M&KB company. in FO4 arrow keys had to be used to place buildings, it is the same thing. you have to use 50 keys on a KB yet the game uses same buttons on controller, it is just laziness.

10 hrs in and now i am having the same old button bugs that every other game they make has. remapped buttons not working or getting stuck. not able to get to menu screen or leave cockpit. got stuck in the vanguard flight simulator because it would not let me leave. the run button getting stuck on run, you stop and wait start walking but you cont. to loose O2 but at a slower rate. had to find a load screen each time this happens to reset, but at times will start again. go to zoom out on galaxy map so you can go to new star system but it pulls you out of menu even though you clicked and not held......... i can go on and on. i was hoping for a ok game last night i gave it a 80/100, even though i was frustrated with their normal clunky menu system and item management that is all their games..... so frustrated and the thing is they never fixed their KB bugs in other games forced to use a controller, personally i am tired of it.

yea the pc controls are garbage, and the bind options are so limited you can't fix it.

You say you do not care then complain it's just as awkward on controller. It shouldn't be an exercise of fighting the controls regardless of scheme what with all the great precedents for flight control in other space games. Why did Bethesda "fix" what wasn't broken?

Because they knew that they could do it and get away with it due to their fanboi army. Look at these forums -- they're filled with minions who will scream "but it's not a space game" at you, even though the game is called Starfield and Bethesda spent an inordinate amount of time focusing on how customizable ships are in the marketing phase. They know what they can get away with, given what their fans have let them get away with in the past, simply put.

[Gwynhara]

Dude they don't care what you report, they care what you buy.

i am a left handed player, been gaming since 1990. i have them all, to the point i still use the cyborg strike 7 keyboard, a perfect keyboard for left handed players. sadly it is on it's last legs.

Have to agree, the PC (mouse and keyboard) controls are really messed up.
Everything should be remapable...

I mean... COME. ON.

I've played Freelancer, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Freespace, Everspace, X series,...
And I can NOT for the life of me figure out how to even increase or decrease thrust, or even how to roll.
There's is literally nothing about it in the Bindings section.
It's ridiculous.

I've found it does play better on controller as a PC user. I almost never use mine, but the game feels better with it. Until we get UI mods or other quality of life stuff I definitely recommend playing with a controller.
