Remapping

  • When mapping a button which already is mapped to another function, a warning will show up, informing the player that the controls won't work properly. To solve this, just either unbind the other function or preferably just remap it to another unused button.
  • Buttons on a controller can't be remapped, but there are 4 preconfigured control types to choose from.
