Xbox buttons prompts explanation
- The game is always displaying Xbox button prompts regardless of real input scheme thus making very hard to navigate menus.
- Fortunately the game is also accepting in-game actions what would be bound on Xbox controller buttons. Use this as a reference guide.
- Actions listed below can be bound to the same key.
Xbox controller button | Action in-game |
---|---|
A | Interact or confirm. |
B | Dash/backstep/roll or Cancel. |
X | Use item or Menu function 1 |
Y | Wield right weapon two-handed or Menu function 2 |
Delay between mouse clicks and actions
- You can bind some of your actions to mouse double clicks, however this feature is causing slight delay between single click and its action as the game is waiting for another click.
