Remapping

There is an issue with saving custom keyboard binds on localized Windows version (or on localized keyboard layouts). Manual keys mapping is required.

Mouse buttons and scrolling wheel is not assigned to any action.

Custom remapping^{[citation needed]}
Keyboard Go to the game installation folder. Locate file `autoexec.cfg` and open it with text editor. Locate section starting with line `enabledevice "##keyboard"`. In this section keyboard keys are represented as a number: `##xx`, change them for your binds. For references which number is which key, see table under this fixbox. Check for duplicities, multiple actions on one key can cause problems. Mouse 1. Launch the game, navigate to the controls menu and assign any action to any mouse button. Mark the name of mouse button. 2. Open file `autoexec.cfg` in the installation folder. 3. Locate section `enabledevice "##mouse"` and insert these lines: rangebind "##mouse" "Button 0" 0.000000 0.000000 "Fire" rangebind "##mouse" "Button 1" 0.000000 0.000000 "Activate" rangebind "##mouse" "Button 2" 0.000000 0.000000 "Reload" 4. Change `Button x` to the button name, you've marked in step 1. Alternatively, use these lines: rangebind "##mouse" "##3" 0.000000 0.000000 "Fire" rangebind "##mouse" "##4" 0.000000 0.000000 "Activate" rangebind "##mouse" "##5" 0.000000 0.000000 "Reload"

Custom remapping^{[citation needed]}

Keyboard

Go to the game installation folder.
Locate file autoexec.cfg and open it with text editor.
Locate section starting with line enabledevice "##keyboard".
In this section keyboard keys are represented as a number: ##xx, change them for your binds. For references which number is which key, see table under this fixbox.
Check for duplicities, multiple actions on one key can cause problems.

Mouse

1. Launch the game, navigate to the controls menu and assign any action to any mouse button. Mark the name of mouse button.

2. Open file autoexec.cfg in the installation folder.

3. Locate section enabledevice "##mouse" and insert these lines:

rangebind "##mouse" "Button 0" 0.000000 0.000000 "Fire"
rangebind "##mouse" "Button 1" 0.000000 0.000000 "Activate"
rangebind "##mouse" "Button 2" 0.000000 0.000000 "Reload"

4. Change Button x to the button name, you've marked in step 1.

Alternatively, use these lines:

rangebind "##mouse" "##3" 0.000000 0.000000 "Fire"
rangebind "##mouse" "##4" 0.000000 0.000000 "Activate"
rangebind "##mouse" "##5" 0.000000 0.000000 "Reload"

Note: These numbers are for US keyboard layout (QWERTY layout).
If you defined another layout (e.g. French AZERTY layout), you should perform the transposition yourself.
For example, to bind the 'A' key using the AZERTY keyboard layout, you should use the number ##16 (the 'Q' key in table below).
