Can Not Change Gears With Mouse or Controller

[Slapz Jiggleman]

Just updated, supposed to now have manual transmission. it shows up on the HUD but the listed commands do not work, on mouse or controller. also the "clutch" buttons are not even available on the bindings page. also i do not have an option to switch to the automatic transmission. very annoying.

same thing for me

Have you tried holding the left mouse button? It works for me.

Same for me. I play with keyboard and use mouse to move the camera and I can't change gears. So no reversing for me which makes driving a bit hard. LMB does nothing, also tried all the other mouse buttons. The gear stick doesn't move at all no matter what.

Yes, I have tried everything from using a controller, a mouse and a logitech steering wheel and shifter to even reinstalling the game. Still cannot shift or change transmission types (Auto/Manual).

That's interesting. But either way, it would be a good idea to add key/button bindings for shifting so we don't have to rely on the mouse. Even though it works for me, I'd much prefer to use the buttons on my wheel for shifting, or better yet, use my shifter (another USB device).

Hi ! I hope today's update fixes your problems ! Be sure to Hold LMB while shifting gears.

STILL NOT WORKING FOR ME, EVEN AFTER THE LAST UPDATE OF JULY 2..
AND THE FORCED FEEDBACK IS SO BAD (G27)

Nope, sorry. Mouse still only turns the view no matter what buttons are pressed.

That's strange. The shifting works for me, in this and the previous update.

MaciejK, a good workaround & improvement would be to allow us to assign wheel/controller buttons to moving the shifter around. This way people don't need to rely on the mouse. Even though it works for me, I'd rather change gears with buttons. And for those who can't use the mouse for shifting, it would be a much needed alternative.

Hi ! Just released a patch with few fixes. If LMB doesn't still work, you can map any button instead.

Thank you, it works! Now I just have to learn to use the gears. :)

Hi ! Im very glad that it works for you ! Does it work with mouse or did you have to map another button ? Thanks.

I didn't actually even try with the mouse button now. I launched the game after the update, saw the new gear mapping in the options and mapped left shift to gears.

edit: The mapping can't apparently be empty, or at least the empty mapping (when right clicking the mapped value) is not saved, but mapping the gears to left mouse button also works.

Thanks for checking it ! I now know what caused the problem, this will help me avoid such things in the future :)
