Michael Hopcroft Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've been having character control issues when I try to play while talking with other players. My understanding fo the controls is very poor as it is, but if I'm simultaneously trying to use them to talk with friends or teammates I end up with my character running all over the place thoroughly out of control, with me unable to stop or even slow him down. I'm told it's a bit easier if you have an Xbox 360 wired controller, but I don't have the $40 for one right now. I do have a Logitech Dual Action, but that one is apparently completely unsupported by the game. What can I do? What can I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapsedgamer Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Re: CO: Control Issues I feel your pain. Trying to play using my laptop's keyboard and mouse pad was maddening. It's on of the reasons I dropped my subscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptPatriot Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Re: CO: Control Issues i believe that you might be able to make your own binds but i am not certain. I'll see if I can dig up a gamepad to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hit Enter, then you will enter the chat thing and can begin typing a chat message. If it somehow didn't register or you forget and just start typing, you can accidentally do some interesting things. The "R" key is, by default, bound to "Autorun". It will make you begin running straight forward (or flying if you are currently flying) until you hit it again. I think you can also hit "S" (back) to stop as well, but I'm not sure on that one. If this is indeed what you are doing, you might go into the keybinds and REMOVE the autorun command. That way you may spin your camera around but you won't go barreling off into a group of mobs if you forget to hit Enter before chatting.

ajackson Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Re: CO: Control Issues There are events that can happen that will steal keyboard focus from your chat window. At that point, all your keypresses suddenly start doing commands. It's horribly annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Re: CO: Control Issues Would spending the $40 on an Xbox 360 controller make things any better by any chance, or would keyboarding issues remain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
