New to the forums, but I feel that the new controls are more of a hindrance than a help sometimes. Maybe I'm just not used to it, but I think that players should also be allowed to return to the control scheme that existed prior to the May 1 update. I liked the ability to move and turn at the same time with a set of keys. Any additional thoughts about control schemes?
New Control Layout Ideas
I'm aware, but it is now impossible to move in a direction and have your knight now turn in that direction with only one key input. The old config allowed easy movement with the wasd keys or the arrow keys, now it takes three keys, one to move in a direction, one to face a direction, and one to move up/down/left/right based on that faced direction.
I believe I had the same problem. Solution:
Bind WASD to "move [direction]" (direction = N/S/E/W))
Bind arrow keys to the same thing
also bind arrow keys to "face [direction]"
For some reason, you can bind arrow keys in those bindings twice. That way WASD strafes in a direction, and arrow keys face and run in a direction. Does that fix your problem?
I find the new system amazing, now you can strafe without having to press a bunch of keys in sequence or hold down the strafe key. It feels like Binding of Isaac, I just realised.
Go to options menu--> assign the controls however you like
