Keybinding issues
« on: September 02, 2015, 02:06:06 AM »
Weird issues I've only recently noticed.  It started happening sometime after the recent updates.  My micro stance keybindings were set to work with either CTRL and a direction or Mouse Button #4 and a direction.  So if I wanted to sit up with my weapon up from the prone position I could hit either CTRL + W or Mouse BTN #4 + W.  However recently I noticed that it only works while using CTRL.  Did some research and couldn't come up with why this would start happening.  Anyone have some ideas?

Secondly I noticed that I can only use the keybinding to activate my safety on my weapon once.  I can activate the safety but after that I cannot deactivate it using the normal weapon safety keybinding and must instead use the change fire rate keybinding.  Weird thing is if I want to activate my safety a second time I cannot do it.  It simply won't work a second time.  The keybinding is LCTRL + ` incase that helps.

Either way both issues are very minor and I can work around them but having these two things working would be nice.  Thanks for any assistance.

I actually had the same issue too with the safety as well but I ll will just try a rebind, think it honestly has to do with Arma 3 update as supposed to the hardware im using.

UPDATE: Solved the safety keybinding issue.  Turns out I had set my underwater radio transmit button to the same keybinding.  Totally forgot since this had never been an issue and I've only ever used it once during a fun op when I first joined the unit all the way in April.  Why it only started acting up now, I have no idea.  Either way that issue is solved.

Secondly I did some playing around with the issue regarding micro stances.  The keybinding works and will perform the action.  The catch is I have to be doing something that prevents me from moving.  For example, W + S is how I set myself to walk in game.  After hitting both of those keys I stand still for a moment.  During that time I can hit my Mouse button and one of the directions and adjust my stances.  This however is very impractical.  I can also get the stances to work if I were to set adjust stance up to one mouse button and the adjust stance down to the other.  I believe it has something to do with attempting an action while moving.  Something else I noticed that doesn't seem to work anymore is the combat pace for 3 seconds.  This would back up my point about it having to do with being in movement as it is an action specifically used during movement.  Worked before, now doesn't.

And to answer your question PFC Ghost, My mouse is a Azza Optical Gaming Mouse.  Never had any problems with it.  The buttons work for other functions as I've set other actions to use them for testing purposes.

Hope this helps shed some light on things.  Thanks again for the help.

P.S. Tried creating a new profile to see if I messed up something somewhere.  Nothing.
