Feedback after 10 minutes of playing 0.63 DayZ
New, NormalPublic

Description

Hi, after spending first 10 minutes of playing DayZ 0.63 I decided to give you a feedback about the new version of the game.

I logged in to a server and figured out the you have changed the key bindings. I navigated to Options, Configure Keyu Bindings and spend like 5 mintues trying to bind 5th mouse button to an action. By 5th mouse button I mean the button located "udner" the numb, on the left edge of the mouse. I left-clicked on the field, then I saw "Select a key" but everytime I did the tiniest move of my mouse it assigned the "movement" of the mouse as the "key" to the action. I spend like 5 minutes trying not to move the mouse in order to assign 5th button of the mouse. I don't know why you made it so difficult. What a terrible experience! I waited so many years for an update and after 10 mintues of the new version I already think that you made the UI even worse. But that's just the begining.
I looked through all other possible actions and key binding and I was scratching my head thinking what those options are. For example: UAUITabLeft, UAUITabRight, UAUIBack, UAUIRightStickHorizontal, UAUIRightStickVertical. What does that mean? Do you think people are going to use that? I don't think so. Why does it need to be so complicated? Why do you make life so hard? What are those options?

I walked a couple of meters and wanted to lay down by pressing "Z" but nothing happened. I checked key bindings but by default you set it to "Z" so why is it not working? How am I supposed to play the game? Why do you make people live's so difficult? Should I bind some other key for this to work and lay the game? That's ridiculous!

After that I was done with the game. I decided to leave the server and use the Feedback option in the game to give you feedback but guess what. It moved me to the desktop but I saw an error message (see screen shot #2) instead and, to my utter astonishment, a notepad window. Notepad? Why would you open a notepad? So the Feedback option does not work at all and it is not even possible to leave a feedback - a simple feature every application should have. But such a simple think as a URL to a website does not work. What a disappointment!
