Key Binding Bug - Please Help!

[cLoudMV]

Hello MH Community,

first of all sorry for my bad english :)

I´ve started yesterday playing MH:W on PC. I´m a left handed player so i changed my movement keybindings from WASD to IJKL and ; or Ö (german layout) for sprint. Heres my problems, it seems that on the keys O, K, L an ; (or Ö german layout) is turn the camera binded by default. so when i want to move back with K, move right with L and sprint with ; (or Ö german layout) the camera always turns with my movement. In the settings menu i cant find an option to unbind OKL ;/Ö for cameramovement.

I´ve searched in the config file in my steam folder for a solution, but i cannot find the default bindings for cameramovement on the keyboard.

please help :(

Hey man I have exactly the same problem, you're not alone. Swiss German layout here, so it's also an ö.

♥♥♥♥ us lefties I guess :)

I also tried finding a config file or something, but there's nothing usable in the install folder or steam userdata folder.

I'll let you know if I find out something, please do the same if you figure it out.

Anyone find the key bind config file?

Hey guys, just letting you know I contacted the support email address provided by Capcom for my region (Europe) and told them of our issue. I'll let you know if I hear back. If one of you is in a different region please also contact support, maybe some regions are more helpful than others. Here is a list of the contact info: http://www.capcom-unity.com/go/capcom/support

After finding out - for unrelated reasons - that the Tomb Raider series stores keybindings in the Windows registry, I poked around in there to see if Capcom does the same, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
Also Capcom still hasn't replied, it's been two weeks.
Bunch of incompetent exclusively profit-focused metabolic-end-product-heads (profanity filters can service my erect member).

Hi guys,

Fellow Lefty here, I feel your pain... this tends to happen quite a bit, particularly with half arsed ports. I have found a solution, though!

It will require you to download and install AHK, which can be found here: https://autohotkey.com/

From there you'll need to create a new AutoHotKey Script, which can be done by right clicking anywhere on say, your desktop, hovering over "New" and then selecting AutoHotKey Script. Once created, right click the newly created file, go to "Open With" and select Notepad. Once opened, input the following script:

#InstallKeybdHook
#NoEnv
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200

#IfWinActive, A

`;::a

(Note: As far as the scripting goes I'm not actually sure if all of the code prior to `;::a is vital, but I've just always used it before all of my input programming as it has been required for certain input situations in the past.)

You can replace a with any key you wish, I just happened to use a as the in game button for running. Replace a with whatever yours is, or simply use a as your in game bind. Your keyboard will now recognise the semicolon key as a, so the game no longer spins the camera everything you run (super annoying stuff...)

Once saved, simply run the script by double clicking it. A little green [H] should pop up in your system tray. That means the script is running successfully. To stop it, simply right click and select "exit".

I wish I had seen this earlier, it just so happens that I only grabbed the game now and came across this thread in hope of the problem being fixed without having to resort to AHK.

Enjoy

Hey cLoud,

I've played a little more MHW since and noticed that despite being able to bind IJKL over WASD defaults, K and L still appear to be bound to camera keys as well as movement... I'd recommend you rebind them, too. Here's the script I'm now using:

#InstallKeybdHook
#NoEnv
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 200

#IfWinActive, A

`;::z
i::w
j::a
k::s
l::d

Please note I've rebound run to z

Good luck and have fun!
