You can't rebind controls to mouse buttons
This is you call a released game?

Edit: There are 2 ways of remaking binds. One via config file, another via older version of the game.

yes,
for 64bit you need to edit this file:
*your steam location*
\Steam\steamapps\common\The Forest\TheForest_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll


Inside of
Class: public class FirstPersonCharacter : MonoBehaviour, IOnCollisionEnterProxy, IOnCollisionStayProxy
Method: private void Update()

In this piece
if (LocalPlayer.AnimControl.swimming && !this.Diving && TheForest.Utils.Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))

To be precise
TheForest.Utils.Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")
You need to replace "Jump" with right mouse button (if devs didn't change anything then RMB should be called "Mouse3" or "Mouse2")


few lines down there is second place to change it too, but i'm not sure if that's required
too lazy to read it whole~~


edit:
link to the second solution (not by me) using older versions of game

sometimes steam lags and you need to press link multiple times or open the link in the browser for it to work

Yea, this is so stupid. Feels like a joke. 😐

Learn to use your keyboard.
This doesn't exactly seem like a bug just because you can't set crouch or sprint to your mouse buttons? and If you're talking about the inventory, again, learn your keyboard. This isn't a bug at all, and if you're trying to actually report a bug, you should probably do it a lot better. :blueFlowerNKOA:
@starry, learn about good game design and don't act like dev's mistake isn't crucial if it's not relevant to you.

im using the cougar revenger and since i dont like using ctrl or c for crouching i currently have it set to mouse button 4 "which is the thumb button closest to the palm". i remember it not working a couple of times trying to change the bindings "simply getting no feedback or response after trying to change keybindings" or having it where it stopped reading my mouse and keyboard even though i didnt have a controller set up. but i got it to work randomly a couple of days ago and i cant really give you any advice except for giving it another try when you play.
bump @devs

You can rebind these by holding the keys for a couple seconds.

Cool thanks for the headsup - might be worth having some kind of note or visual feedback on the rebind screen for that in a future update 👍

What about the lack of mouse binding? is the plan to fix that or is it intentional?

I usually rebind rmb, mmb, mouse 4 and mouse 5, it's a bit of an immersion breaker to play without those controls as I keep hitting the wrong buttons for actions (muscle memory and all that).
Currently it is intentional but we will be looking into it to see if it's something we can re-add support for.

But why would anyone intentionally limit their game in terms of controls? Don't you want people enjoy it, rather than suffer trying to adjust to unnatural way of playing? :-/

I truely feel like that is their end-game. All this time it was their plan to make a great game but remove the option to bind keys to your mouse. This way people would spend hours suffering and crying in a corner, scared of having to use the keyboard when they attempt to play the game.

Of course there are other options like using the same controls as literally all other players of the game, using a keyboard emulator, or even not playing it all. But clearly all these options are inferior to just going online and whining to the support team about it, even after they already gave their answer.

Bumping is not allowed, and doing it multiple times on the same day is just egotistical.

I used to use mouse button 4 to bring out the lighter and light things. Well, since i completely nuked absolutely every forest related file on my pc in hopes to get rid of some of the newish issues and reinstalled, i cant do that anymore. Not a biggie, but would be nice to be able to assign mouse buttons again please!

Oh, look. Bumping worked, and this thread nobody was giving any attention to is now self-bumping. Maybe devs will see that more than one gamer is interested, and will fix their RELEASED game already.
