Remapping

If played on Steam, if Steam Input is on, the default controller mapping has mixed-up buttons and incorrectly mapped camera & triggers.

  1. Go to <path-to-game>\engine.
  2. Open vars_pc.cfg with a text editor.
  3. Change mousespeed=0.50000 (found roughly half way down) to a desired value. 0.2 and 0.15 work well.
  4. Save the file (if does not work - that may mean that launcher overrides the file, mark the file as "read-only" in properties and launch the game using GettingUp.exe (inside <path-to-game>/_Bin/).
