DayZ key bindings for left handed person
New, NormalPublic

Description

Dear Support,

You have successfully rolled out Dayz 1.0. In the Alpha and Beta Version of the Game i was able to bind the keys for running forward, backward, left and right on the arrow keys because i am a left handed person and i do not want to use WASD keys.

Now in the 1.0 version only the UP and DOWN arrow keys on the keyboard are working but for walking left or right the left and right arrow keys are NOT WORKING. i do not know why this happens because in other games everything is working fine. Also you guys have defined the keys V and ENTER for changing the 1st/3rd perspective by standard and they also do not work for me. I have re-installed the Game already but the issue is still present. Can you help to get this issue fixed?

Best Regards from Germany
Sebastian

I can't strafe left or right. All other key bindings seem to be okay. Haven't tried vehicles yet. So my binds for strafe are up and down cursor keys: 0x1A & Left: 0x4B

I can't play DayZ without the ability to use these keys. I've owned DayZ since launch EA Alpha...
