As above

Additional Information

Any time I am moving and hit INVENTORY (which is now set to BACKSPACE) my character will be immovable until INVENTORY is closed.

I have used arrows since DOOM, guys....help out an old-school FPS fan.
Love being part of the process, and keep up the great work.

Remember...when all seems negative and oppressive....just imagine how crappy it would be having Romero on the team! ;-P

That was a reference to John Romero...BTW.
A lot of you guys may not have been old enough to understand the reference.

ID Software... Romero was a great part of the team that developed Quake, but he was an asshole, and he was a destabilizing influence during a critical time in the company's growth...which in my opinion, should have been more focused. Carmack became disenfranchised with the idea of keeping a tight team of visionaries and moved more to a "lone Ranger" way of running the company.

I just wrote this because I wanted to see if anyone actually READS these bug reports. What are the chances this control issue will get fixed?

Hey Phil,
we are aware of this and the issue is slightly more complicated than it might seem - please be patient.
Yes, we do read everything on here, especially when it comes to nostalgic tales of the gaming past :). I got the reference!
Thank you,
Andy
