key bindings unchangeable

[oida]

I cannot change my key bindings the way i want to. Specially mouse buttons seem to be a problem here. Overwriting keys does not seem to work.

If a key is already bound the game tells me so and offers to unbind it from the chosen action. Maybe will have to run the game with administrator account. IIRC this problem appeared already in closed alpha.

Yeah, still haven't found a solution :(

i use the arrow keys to move and i cant take taunt off...."up"

Having same problem, Can't change most of the keybindings

I have to play doom with the keybindings i learned back in 1992 on original doom with a mouse.
It ruins the nostalgia to be stuck with forced keybinds for standard FPS.

I use the arrow keys as well. Like seriously, the game has very simple controls but they frak it up by having two keys bound to some controls...and you can't un-bind them.

Yeah, I know it's beta but that just seems beyond dumb. How could you not see it's flawed beforehand?

I'm not playing because of it.

Same problem. I have to play with a xbox 360 pad...

There is a way to fix some of the key binding issues. If you want to use the arrow keys for moving, go to the taunts section, hit "Enter" on one of the taunts, and select the arrows key that's bound to it. This will get rid of the arrow key from the taunt section. Do that for all the arrow keys, and then you can use them for momvement.

The real problem I have, is with the mouse. I want to use Mouse 2 for jumping, but it refuses to let me remap the thing, even after cancelling it from where it's at by default.

Any Ideas anybody ??

Tried the Enter still no go. I use the arrow keys for movement and I cannot get it off the taunts. The game is USELESS like it is now. I can't move or it taunts and there is no way to clear it?? I cannot use the asdetc keys for movements due to my handicaps.

[The Thorne]

you could remap all this in alpha now its broken, cant remmeber where ini or cfg is anyone?

I use arrows and need to change mouse buttons doesnt work

I play one handed, left arm paralyzed... If I can`t set up key bindings for my razer naga mouse 17 button.... i might as well just get a refund now... Did not get to try beta even though i pre ordered doom the day steam would let me.... loved classic dooms. thought this would bring back good memories

I mean this...

As an example, in the default bindings, Up and F1 are bound to Taunt 1. With Taunt 1 highlighted, hit Enter and then press Up. It'll tell you that the key is already bound yada yada. Hit Accept, and then you'll see that Up is no longer bound to Taunt 1. Repeat this process with Taunts 2-4 and their respective arrow keys, and then you'll have freed up the arrow keys. Now you'll be able to use the arrow keys for movement.

All of the keyboard keys can be bound and unbound like this. It makes no sense, but it works. Sadly, this process doesn't work for the mouse.

He means, go to the desired bind in the options that already has any arrow key bound, select it, press enter, then press the corresponding arrow key bound there; this makes the game remove said key from that particular action, freeing the arrow key to be used for movement.

It worked for me, but still can't bind mouse2 for jumping, which for me is crucial, and the game doesn't seem to have any editable .cfg that I can find, I tried looking into the same place the alfa was, but there's no cfg, also tried looking at similar paths games like wolfenstein TNO use, but no luck, no cfg that I can find, and with the ingame console not available in the beta...can't bind anything manually.

Thank you TheCoopX, your solution actually works fine. However, just as you noted, you can't use mouse2 for jumping. Having played Quake 3 for eternity now, I just got so used to use mouse2 for jumping, I cannot get it out of my system. For DOOM I use Right Control to jump.
