Additional Information

Hi Bohemia Interactive,

I’m a PS5 player using a keyboard and mouse setup for Arma Reforger, and I am experiencing a frustrating bug where the character automatically begins to sprint when pressing diagonal keys (W + A or W + D). This issue occurs without pressing the sprint key (Shift) and seems to be due to the game interpreting diagonal keyboard inputs as analog stick movements.

Proposed Solution:

  1. Allow Customization of Keyboard Movement Settings:

Allow players to adjust the sensitivity of diagonal inputs, similar to how controllers have deadzone settings.

  1. Option to Disable Diagonal Sprinting:

Add an option to turn off automatic sprint when pressing diagonal movement keys (W + A, W + D), so players using keyboard and mouse can control their movement without unintended sprinting.

  1. Clarify Keyboard Input Logic for PS5:

Make it clear to players using KBM on PS5 that there are specific input mechanics that may be different from using a controller and give more control to manage these settings.

Thank you for your ongoing work on improving Arma Reforger!

I can confirm this as well but my solution was to change the keyboard. I have 3 of them a4tech, some china stuff I dont remember and HP, only on HP this bug dont occur that often which is great but sometimes does. I had this also before the 1.3 update. I think it has something with mouse and voice chat binding on my mouse. The mouse and keyboard on Arma is somehow emulated because it doesnt work without enabled controler. I blame Sony for that :D
