Key bindings

[FatMcK]

Hi,

yet another game which feels like a cheap port of a console game. The key bindings are awful for a game in 2024. For example I can bind moving forward to right mouse button, but i can't select another binding for aiming. This combination makes it impossible to play as in this combination you can't walk without aiming.

Hard coded key bindings are bad. Half implemented key bindings that lets you set binding that collide with hard coded key bindings are worst.

Someone knows where the keybindings are saved and if they are manualy editable?

The in-game keybinds are also hardcoded to US layout. So for example, if you bind something to Y using a different layout(DE, HU, NL etc.) it will automatically change to Z the next time you launch the game.

And it's annoying af, I can't understand how a AA game in 2024 releases with keybind issues like this, especially from Sony.

It's not a Sony game, but Arrowhead's. I believe it's their most advanced and complicated game engine ever made, and I would wager they've built it from scratch. I'm willing to assume the keybind customization limitations are partly caused by developing for both PC and PS parallel :/ It's prolly down the line tho.

I have a custom layout and now I cant move around in the ship since the R key is hardcoded to the store page. Really awful....

Seriously? Ya'll expect a CONSOLE game company to know ANYTHING about PCs? Clueless newbs.

Did you unironically say "newbs"?
ouch.

Good thing they programmed their Console game on a Console aswell because that'd be the only way of them not knowing there are different keyboards.

This Reddit thread appears to be helpful here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1amti3g/keybind_config_file/

Looks like AHGS_camel_case is one of the developers, or wants people to think so.

Using right click to move forward is infinitely more dumb than not being able to rebind aiming.
