Reinstalled game after months away and cannot remap keys.

[_DiscoDave_]

I am left-handed so remap my keyboard controls to the right hand of the keyboard. After remapping them, I click apply, go to game, and the keys are still at default! Tried it many times, and the same result. This does work fine in WoT, but WoWS is a no-go.

It use to work before, really struggling to understand why it is not working now?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

P.S. I cannot use the WSAD keys, have tried many times. [Yes, us lefties are akward gits ;)]

wellcome to the update 7.xx xxx

They made it impossible to remap SOME of the keys.. not all..

It was a torture to adapt zooming something other than my right click..

It still is.. I want my rightclick.. back... I have no idea why I cant!

Also a lefty and have no problems remapping a fair few, arrows instead of WASD, consumables and HE AP to mouse keys (razer), torp spread to middle mouse button and 1 or 2 others. I can't really work out why you have a problem OP.

Have you reinstalled from the scratch or you used your old installation (together with already existing "preferences.xml" file)?

 

I suggest you try to BackUp and then delete the "preferences.xml" and start WoWs again (it would create brand new "preferences.xml") and then start editing the options...

Thats exactly what I done! Re-installed as new, but copied over an old pref.xml file! I had a feeling it was something simple i overlooked, but it never dawned on me it would be the pref. file.

 

Thank you very much!

Pfft. Speak for yourself.

Ramapping to any key could be done in command_mapping/preset_keyboard_1.xml extracted from /res_packages directory and then copied to mods. Some of in game keys are restricted but correcting that file works.

 

Other possibility is making game profile and remapping keys in keyboard utility, when it's avaible option. That way having no mouse with wheel i made PageUP/PageDown working again as zoom.
