It's freaking lame!! Epic Fail DICE!

The q key is my left movement. Im like NASCAR but going the other direction.

the only solution I have found is set up macro's for your keyboard, redirecting the Q key to another key.

I Poop on you DICE!!

This thing is so buggy, you'd think M$ released it. There's no way they made the grade on this release.

I got the feeling it was going to have a bunch of bugs when I played the alpha and beta version. I'm sure it will all get figured out in the next month but dice doesn't have a good track record of releasing bug fix's in a timely manner. Don't hold you're breath on this one.

Try again in 6 months. These first few months is the REAL beta testing period.... cool how EA gets you to pay to beta test eh? :)

They did post a workaround fix this 'Q' binding issue. It worked for me--
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654624733818855/

Plus, someone was asking about making 'zoom' stay on your weapon instead of holding the button down.
It's available in Options -> GamePlay -> -> Weapon Zoon -> Click Button or Hold Button

What this has proved is B3 has a numeric value for every key. It doesn't see it as its letter rather a number. In this case 255= the q key.

i thought the poster stated 255 = NO BIND

so if you were to put "255" as the value for that command, there would be NO key bind

DankRider

Just an FYI: everything is numeric to the system. It isn't B3, it is computing. And 0(00), or 255(FF) are generally regarded as null or unassigned, since they are the bounded ends of the 8-bit world. You hafta think in terms of bytes.

P.S. Thnx Zellis for pointing out this thread, even though it was obvious when I couldn't see it. sad me :(

Where's the code for F13? I have an F13 button... Maybe 123.5... hrm. I gotta call someone about this.

google for 'keyboard scancode utility' .

It should come up with a few options that you can download and install. these utilities will tell you the scan code generated of any key you type on the keyboard... for example...

http://www.passmark.com/ftp/keytest.exe

A software program that does this is really easy to write, but why bother when there are utilities out there that do it already.

that would be an ascii code.... which is different than hardware scancodes.

Re: Binding issue in BF3
Reflux, Mon Dec 12 2011, 02:55PM

Well, apparently BF3 is NOT using standard key codes, I just checked a few. They sux0rz.

Here's some trivia. OS vs. linefeed termination

*unix uses Lf (Chr10) - Yah, that is how it is done
Windows uses LfCr (Chr10+Chr13) - typewriter style
MacOS uses Cr (Chr13) - who know WTF they were thinking.

BTW: I'm editing ALL my posts from now on.
