Welp, its been almost a year since I touched this game. Opened it up, installed a bunch of updates and then tried to remap the move forward button from W to right mouse button (mouse button #2) and it still does not work in game. I can map move forward to any other key on the mouse and it works, just not the right mouse button. Is this just how it is or am I doing something wrong. I asked my buddy's son to try it on his computer and it does not work for him either. I can't believe the game is this far along in development and it still won't let you remap keys properly. Anyone?

I forgot the /s after the refund question... I understand how to rebind keys. I have had to do it since the late 90's/early 00's (I am 38). The original Half-Life in '98 the move forward key bind was for right mouse button and move back was W. When Counter-Strike came out in 2000, they switched the default key to W. I could never get used to the W key being forward from playing HL so much before the switch. Every game I have played since CS I have had to rebind the keys and it is as simple as select the key bind and then press the desired key, then save. This game it does not work that way. Also, I have never played OFP, A2 or A3 so I was not aware of the hokey controls. I understand DayZ is in Alpha/Beta status and I accept that it is not a final release, but not having an intuitive way to bind the keys the way you want is pretty dumb. Isn't there some config file somewhere I can edit to set it up the way I want?

Wow, what an aggravation! Is it possible to get a refund?

I am having a hard time reassigning the keys to be more similar to Battlefield. I have been gaming since CS came out and I am used to using my right mouse button to move forward and the W key to move back. Changing the key bindings in DayZ is not like any other game I have played before and every time make a change, it pops the old keys back in there. Is there a config file I can edit to make it the way I want? I know this game is not Battlefield and I do not expect it to be. I just want controls that I am familiar with so I can play it! Thanks in advance!
