Control issues with movement and the menus.

[ION * WINTER]

I use the arrow keys instead of the was combo because I use the mouse with my left hand (yep, I'm a lefty).Everytime I strafe left or right, the weapon menu pops up and scrolls through my weapons.I reset the movement keys back to was and still it does the same.

I thought it had to do with the menu navigation controls.Changed those, still no luck.Does anyone know how to fix this?

Go to steamapps\common\Postal2Complete\System\ and delete Postal2.ini and User.ini

Nope.didnt solve the issue.It only reset the settings.
If I move and want to select another weapon using the mouse wheel, the menu starts scrolling itself to the direction im strafing or moving.Changing the menu navigation buttons to wasd still fixes nothing, because the game persists to use the arrow keys exclusively for menu navigation.

I dont think there is a way around that.

Yeah, it does reset the settings but that's the most common fix for this, so I'm not sure why it didn't work for you.

Do you have a controller plugged in by any chance?

No, standard mouse + keyboard for PC gaming.Pretty sure it's the fact that the game wont let me bind the arrow keys to movement instead of navigating the menus.

You see, when I use the mouse wheel to change weapons, the menu navigation key settings settings 'kick in', and alllow me to both strafe, (since they were binded to movement) but at the same time inadvertedly, scroll through the weapon menu (because the game obligatory keeps the arrows for menu navigation).

If deleting the .inis won't help, you'll need to reinstall the game

years late on this but i think i do know the issue.
menu navigation no matter if it is remapped or not, once u save and exit the settings. will revert back to using the arrow keys.
seems to be a hardcoded issue. i understand this is super late but if work is still being done on this title. a fix for this would be great for the few people having this issue. I'm also left handed playing with arrow keys which is how i discovered it is still an issue and came across this thread trying to find a fix.
