Needing Help with an Unknown Keypress
What is the keyboard key press that causes the model to rotate clockwise at its' maximum rotation speed from the character view??
My 'new character' screen has the 'Done" button grayed out and the character keeps rotating. I can grab the character from the cursor and try to rotate the other way, but it just slows rotation, jitters a little, and returns to rotating clock-wise. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled; and unplugged all normal peripherals, to use a portable wireless key and finger trackpad. Nothing seems to work.
I'm using mouse and Keyboard, I don't have a controller attached to the computer. I know that it's a key press because another game keep trying to scroll up in the menus with similar effect as the jittering and rotation when I try to drag down. Thank you.

I just pressed every key on my keyboard, and was unable to find a button that spins the character. I was able to rotate my character by grabbing it with the mouse and swinging side-to-side, but there's no button as far as I can tell.

You might try going into the settings and turning off the "enable gamepad" toggle; if that works, maybe take a peek at the back of your PC and count the cables to make sure nothing is plugged in that you're not aware of.

I just saw another post a moment ago where the problem was a set of rudder pedals under their desk that they had forgotten was plugged in.

Maybe get autohotkey, open it with some empty/tutorial script go to key history and it should list what is being pressed... should as i've never has this issue without controller enabled (and boy its annoying when games think sim hardware is a pad and there is no way to tell them not to scroll/rotate stuff without messing in device manager smh).

if not autohotkey, there are other programs that can show inputs live or log them, just gotta google around.

Yes. Thank you! I found out the the 'controller' setting is a togglable 'on/off' option. Whereas it first seemed to be related to two other options as the three settings together looked like an 'either-or' set of options. I tapped the circle next to 'controller enabled' a couple times before noticing that it would show a blue dot next to it and then it wouldn't after tapping again. Their GUI in the settings menu needs a rework. Regardless, this did work. Thank you.:steamthumbsup:
