Libed Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Just got the last Genealogy book, to place in the bookshelf for the "treasure". Saved at the nearest spot to quit for dinner. Came back, and now holding down A turns me to the right. D turns to the left. Issue carries on to any new character made. Sad. Just sad. Edited June 23, 2011 by Libed
0 Tigranes Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 The best way to get eyes is, well, to post here, as you've already done, and to open up tickets with Square Enix / Steam customer support. Devs read these forums, though they don't post as much. That said, with this particular issue, I'm pretty sure they know there's a problem already.

0 xkeitarox Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Just to throw it out here, I played around with AutoHotKey, and the most basic examples of key remapping, IE: /*snip*/ a::d d::a /*snip*/ Is supposed to map a to d and d to a. This works perfectly in notepad. It does /not/ work in-game. I am assuming the game is utilizing low level keyboard/input drivers, so software isn't able to intercept the signals. I also tried prying off my A and D keys, and putting them on the other way around. That didn't work either. I also tried playing with my keyboard flipped around 180 degrees, but then I was walking backwards... I tried another program called "SharpKeys", which is supposed to use registry hacks to remap keyboard keys. This ALMOST worked, in that when I opened up a chat window, the keys were switched, but when it came to rotate the camera, it was still backwards. That's the closest I got. Anyone else got any ideas? Edit: I also opened a ticket @ Square Enix, before I started posting here. Edited June 23, 2011 by xkeitarox

0 kirottu Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Is it can be fixed now pls? This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
0 brandysnap Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) well i just fired up steam and dungeon siege 3 downloaded yet another patch. i havent checked but perhaps that fixed the issue? edit - just checked. no it didnt fix it. didnt do anything that i can see.

0 Alvin Nelson Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Mr. Moderator -- Whats the best way to get eyes on the problem? Is there a bug reporting thing that we can submit information to, or have you already done due diligence? The steam forums are blowing up about it too. Thanks! Taking a look. Thanks for the info. Let me get back to sleeping. I'm tired... Avatar made by Jorian Drake
0 kirottu Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 So did you fix it yet? This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
0 kirottu Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 What a about now? This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
0 Threepsie Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) I too admit that this minor patch causing the A <--> D switch makes the game very much unplayable! I would like to urge the developers to include in the next patch the ability to change the keybinds ourselves! This is a basic functionality that is present in 99.98% of all dungeon crawler RPGs (with the 0.02% being this game!). Edited June 23, 2011 by Threepsie
0 Dentar Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Yeah, the controls are pretty bad now, especially considering I'd gotten used to the original control by now. I'd say a fix is needed, preferably fast as I won't be able to play like that.
0 Orchomene Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 After half an hour of playthrough, you get used to it.

0 Dryndi Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 TO DEVS: DO IT RIGHT FROM THE START AND YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANY KEYREMAPPIN PATCHES. LOL - note the small "edit" text at the bottom. "Do as I say, not as I do." But lets give them a bit of slack - this wasn't a bug from release, it was an unexpected side-effect from trying to fix something else.

Nope, no slack at all on this one!!! Are you serious??? An unexpected side effect??? This isn't some rarely used function that got messed up. It is the most basic movement that was messed up!! If anyone at all even beta tested the patch, it would have come up immediately! This is a clear example of programmers rushing something without checking their work. It is their job to check their work and get it right. As a manager, I would write up any employee of mine that puts out work like this with a blatant error! I would be much more understanding if they made a mistake with something less obvious. Sorry, but anyone who thinks they deserves slack on this doesn't get the meaning of quality control.
0 brandysnap Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 ^^ it wouldnt crop up if all the testers are using gamepads to test the game. its like the witcher 2 patch that borked the analog sticks for all users. cd project didnt know because they were doing the opposite and testing with mouse and keyboard.
0 xkeitarox Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Will someone do the community a favor and link to this post over on the steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...d.php?t=1942882 They don't know there are eyes on the issue, and my steam forum account is still pending activation ( same username, xkeitarox ) Thanks!
0 Adam Brennecke Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I've found the issue and have a fix for it. We'll have a patch for you guys as soon as possible. Follow me on twitter - @adam_brennecke
0 kirottu Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 He is mister Brennecke to you, newbie. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
0 xkeitarox Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Haha. It's more personal on a first name basis. And I'm only a newbie because I normally don't hang out in forums. However, since my brain can't handle the backwards camera, I have some time to sit here and try to assist on a resolution to it. You'll probably never see me again, unless there is some other bug or issue that I can help with. Cheers~

"Do as I say, not as I do." But lets give them a bit of slack - this wasn't a bug from release, it was an unexpected side-effect from trying to fix something else. I want to use up arrow key to move forward and the down arrow to move backward but the basic controls is: w - move forward, s - move backward, you can't change this keys to up arrow or down arrow keys in the game options in the main menu, ok you can use the right mouse button(holding) to move.

0 Vhati Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 its not only A and D swap that is broken. you also cannot dodge left and right using the keyboard either. Devs need to make sure that gets fixed also.
0 xkeitarox Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Steam has finished downloading Dungeon Siege III It's fixed.
Question
Libed
Just got the last Genealogy book, to place in the bookshelf for the "treasure".
Saved at the nearest spot to quit for dinner.
Came back, and now holding down A turns me to the right. D turns to the left.
Issue carries on to any new character made. Sad. Just sad.
