Character movement and performed actions are always delayed!
New, WishlistPublic

Description

When pressing the "V" button to vault it sometimes won't work and you have to try several times before your characters behaves as you want him to. Same issue for the quickbar - when you press "1" on your keyboard it will sometimes take you a few tries before your character takes the item into his hands, puts it back or uses it.

Generally said, movement is always delayed. Pressing "W, A, S, D" will always take some time before your character actually starts moving. It might only be a few milliseconds but it is still noticeable. It's making the game really hard to play, especially when you're looting inside a building in a bigger city and your fps is very low.

Furthermore moving around walls/doors/other obstacles inside buildings is still really hard and you sometimes cannot pass through doors if you're not perfectly faced towards them.

Additional Information

Controls need to be a lot more responsive. If you for example look at other games, which have some sort of "pixel-movement" you will notice how much better this is. In DayZ pressing the "W, A, S, D" buttons will always result in one or more steps of the same range - no matter for how short you press the button. As an example: If you press the button for just a moment you shouldn't take a step as far as if you press it for a longer time.

I am aware that this is a simulation game but the controls as they are, are really clunky. Some Unity- or Source-Engine type controls and player movement would be really good on DayZ and I'm sure it would add a lot to gameplay!

This is the only issue I have with the game. Everything else seems really just acceptable for me. But the keyparts of the game - the controls need to be good for the game to be successful!
