Can't steer vehicules

[Klauth]

Hi there,

I'm returning to BL3 after a LOT of BL2 some years ago, and it was quite cool.
That is until I hit the first Ellie mission in which I was almost killed due to a bug described here:
https://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/cant-steer-vehicle-with-wasd/3125535

I hit the same bug, by which steering any vehicle on KB/M was impossible and was chased by skags ...
Now, I tried all of what is inside this thread to no avail. Suppressing the mouse steering bug (yes, it is a bug) works but at the cost of having the KB mappings not being applied.
Basically, since I'm on a french KB and WASD is, for me, ZQSD, the mapping doesn't work at all for Z and S .... It's apparently relocated to W and something else ... Not useable ....

I'm surprised there is not that much noise about such a ridiculous control bug. How are people dealing with this ? Any walkaround I haven't tried ?

it isnt a bug, you steer with the mouse, the keybindings for left/right in a vehicle are for strafing with the hover tires

[Panterich]

As i understand, starting vehicles are not supposed to steer with KB. In case of KB/M controls you point your mouse at wherever you want to drive and your vehicle will turn. Later you can swap vehicle wheels with antigrav and then you will be able to steer with A/D - but that would be "strafing".

I`m not familiar with "Suppressing the mouse steering", but you should be able to use some 3rd party software to re-map your controls instead of using game options (which shamefully lacks a lot in that department).

You can fully control the car with ZQSD (im french too, azerty keyboard) while the mouse only used to target
But...not by default (incredibly stupid decision...)

You have to go into Command settings, Controller tab (yep for K+M...) and change the 3rd line to 'rapport au vehicule'

Of course, change the keys for vehicule control to fit azerty in keybinding panel

Hi all,

@Ficelle, When I put up "vehicle relative: left", then all controls cease to work as configured for vehicule. When I put up "vehcule relative: stick only", it's better, I manage to have QSD working but not Z for forward.

I need to experiment more but it seems there are conflicts in the key bindings with other part, mostly the flying part ...

Yes, very retarded decision, they took. Maybe I'll reset to default and drive by the mouse but it is ridiculous: no way to aim side ways at ennemies !

[Ficelle]

Have you done this too ?

With these, i fully control my cars with ZQSD, and target / fire with mouse
Mouse doesnt do anything anymore to cars moves or direction

[Klauth]

Yes, of course, I check those settings every time I change the controller section ....

I think a number of people, including you, can get ZQSD to work, but for some reason, I can't ....
As I said, there is probably some conflict with the flying section. Any time I change the controller parameter, it does change also the KB/M section ....

Strange ....

[Ficelle]

If i remember right, i had some problems to make it work too at first

I think what worked for me was to set the controller line first, then redo the whole keymapping, including those about vehicules in the low end of the Keys menu

I also dont have any controller plugged, just in case it could change something


If nothing works, well, im very sorry for you as default car controls UBERSUX ;D

[Klauth]

Thanks Ficelle, I'll try your method, as I didn't yet try to redo *every* vehicule bindings after the controller.

Will feedback here.

Merci !

[Klauth]

Well, I tried for one full hour to get ZQSD work for vehicle to no avail. Every time, I manually mapped every driving key in the KB/mouse controls ...
Incredible.

I managed to have the up/down arrows plus the mouse for steering with the default controller settings. Seems to be the only working way.

I'm absolutely baffled so buggy vehicles controls made it past very basic QA ...

[Ficelle]

Well, sorry for you then...

Perhaps a last idea would be to use mostly default settings and switch your keyboard into QWERTY for this game
Just install the US keyboard via Windows and switch at will with a key press

A bit annoying if you need to type text while playing, but still manageable as there are only a few keys swapping
I do it for some other games with (semi) hardcoded keys to great effect

Not sure it could change something in your case, but...who knows


And totally agree on the vehicule default control
No gamer ever would have let this crap default control sheme / hard to modify sheme... go through QA

[Klauth]

Hey there,

Actually, I played some hours yesterday, and found out I could manage the mouse controls for vehicles. It's not ideal as I often go inside the vehicle and try with the character controls rather than switch to the numeric pad, but OK anyway.

I had good fun yesterday and found a number of L6 legendaries. They rock.

Thanks to anyone trying to help :)

Merci beaucoup, ça fonctionne parfaitement chez moi avec les touche ZQSD

Thank you very much, it works perfectly for me with the ZQSD keys
