Separate button for evade
Please, make an option for a separate button for evade/sprint. I can't really play with double-tapping because for some reason sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Can't figure out why. And button press instead doubletap for evade will be easier to execute on PC.

Yeah this is retarded. Its non-responsive 80% of the time as my character just sits there twitching but not being able to have it set to a key and remapped is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass.
I was so excited for this game but could not possible be more frustrated with camera and evade. Unplayable imexp so far.

Double tap? You sprint after you dodge by default. There is no double tapping required. If you keep tapping dodge you'll just keep dodging. If you tap dodge and continue to move in one direction you'll just dodge once then sprint in that direction.

It's helpful for speeding along where you can chain together sprint/dodge boosts with jump + dodge air boosts. It's a bit faster and makes it feel like you're doing more in the game and have some skill.

Stop acting like your confused. This is a PC forum for a PC game. Nobodies complaining about controller by default.

Ya this game is completely inaccessible to people without a controller for their computer... The camera locking, the wonky controls, the aim assist on mouse (lmao wut?), the list goes on... been enjoying the story so far but the gameplay is just way too wonky on a keyboard... I dont want to go out and buy a controller just for this but I probably will... Even if I do they still need to further optimize PC controls because its just... bad.

You guys are right, we definitely need a better PC optimization...
If we had access to freely customize our Keys, we could make this controls works for keyboard and mouse, BUT we don't even have a Mouse + Keyboard available...
That is very sad indeed

Keyboard + Mouse lol. It's not a first person shooter or a strategy game. Buy a controller. Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller is probably the most compatible.

Don't know why everyone's hating on the KBM setup. Seems to work fine for me. Dodges happen when I want them to...they're never unresponsive. A single seperate button would be nice! But it'd more just be a luxury rather than a necessity.

Well you can freely customize your keys, there just isnt and option for evade, it is rolled into the movement keys. We are asking for it to be seperate as well at least. Plus not sure why the arrow keys are another way to control the camera. who uses the arrows to control the camera when using a keyboard. IMO they should just be for the item and pod switches.

What is with people and the dumbass get a controlelr style replies? Can you people not read or think for yourselves?
Controllers arent even relevant and all your doing is showing how much of a casual you are.

A monkey could pick this game up and explain how it could be perfect with only slight adjustments.
But no.. they went an extra step from controller to K&M and added in double tapping... they added it. All they had to do was literally not do that. Camera is a pain but its workable.
Both could be patched. Your comment is irrelevant.

Except thats how it works on controller and consoles. They went out of there way to make it more awkward on PC. Not the other way around.
Itd be nice if they just patch us in a button to use like everyone else. Not exactly hard to do given there starting point.

I mean...that's fine. I'm not defending anybody. I agreed already that it'd be nice to have a separate button. :) But it's not a game-breaking feature to not have it. That was all I was sayin. More just something to hope for. Definitely nothing to complain about. :)

Then you are objectively wrong.
Your success is subjective. I have been having issues getting evade to function at all let alone in the right direction and with any consistency. As have several others on the forums.
Glad it works for you.. great... so what? What works for you doesnt inherently work for everyone.
...and my point, since we are just repeating ourselves, is that its not some extra or bonus idea. It should have been the default starting point given the source material for this port.

To sum it up, they added in a needless extra step for a required gameplay mechanic that many of us can now not use at all.

Yeah. Sorry about your luck, man. Hope you find/get a solution. :)

Sorry to necro but has anything been found to improve KB/M functionality instead of having to double tap like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥? why not allow me to keybind it to V that isn't used by anything else.
