any way to turn off auto lock on in comat?

[messy]

its driving me crazy! everytime there is a fight with more than one person and i want to look ina certain direction the am thing always drags me away or when i want to turn or move or do ANYTHING im having to fight this pissing lock.

pressing shift every time i want to move or even LOOK at something else is a nightmare, esp in larger fights where as soon as its gone off one lock it just grabs anohter right away

There isnt an Auto Lock unless you press TAB.

Lock is manual and only works by pressing TAB, if you want to switch target just move the mouse left or right depending where target is until it switches.

Look, they might not call it "locking", but there is a soft lock that auto focuses you onto a target. You cannot just run by the bad guy it will turn you even without tabing.

OP, if you try to use sprint during combat it will unlock that soft lock and help you run away. There is no way in game to adjust that soft lock though im afraid.

I usally press double TAB to switch between the targets

You basically have to hold middle mouse button all the time... This is a great game but the combat is bad. Its like they took the awesome Mount and Blade fighting but made it clunky and unresponsive. You lose control of the camera and the character all the time it's just frustrating.

Thanks consoles. Actually, no, I shouldn't blame them, it's just a bad system the devs hatched up so let's place blame where it's due.

If you can remap buttons on console, try remapping the "Unlock target" to a button you can hold. I remapped it to L Ctrl on PC and now its a little more enjoyable. It feels a little like cheating tho because the enemy blocks my hits a lot less. Also if the enemy hits you while you hold it it turns you around for some reason so you have to release it when you block.. I also remapped Stabs to middle mouse and Blocks to right mouse button.

the 'soft lock' effect is absolutely real and there's a mod to mitigate it on the nexus

im sorry but i dont think its right that auto lock isnt automatic whenever i get mobbed by 5 or more enemies i try to take on the weakest first but the damn game makes me kill the strongest first its very annoying mostly because my armor gets destroyed

If you're ever accidentally hitting TAB (as I constantly did for a long time), then you might want to rebind the key for locking on or disengaging the lock. I found that LSHIFT was too challenging for me when I was so new to combat, and my gaming mouse has its own scroll wheel function when you press the mousewheel down. I decided to rebing the unlock key to a thumb button on my mouse. My second choice was to change the lock on feature to some random key like Ä so I couldn't hit it in a spastic freak out moment (I had so many! but it's okay)

Same issue but I blame pebbles a bit more then the lock on for tossing me at the sound of a cough.

Yeah I completely agree with the original poster. This autolock in this game is complete garbage. It gets me killed almost every time I get ambushed. I could easily handle these weak targets if I weren't locked on targets! It's extremely annoying because the combat in this game is awesome when there's only one opponent. It would still be awesome if the auto focus or auto lock or auto-whatever-the-hk-you-wanna-call-it. Good grief, it amazes me the developers didn't add an option to completely disable it.
