Can't use arrow keys for movement.

[ZuluBlueTV]

Product: A Way Out
Platform:PC
Which mode has this happened in? Online Co-Op
Which character were you controlling? Leo
Summarize your bug Me and my father both play with the mouse in the left-hand and use the arrow keys for movement. When we re-bind W,A,S,D to the arrow keys, the game is unplayable. The arrow keys automatically control the camera/look around so every time we walk forward, the camera moves on the Y-axis. There's no option in the controls (that we can find) to disable whatever is conflicting with these keys.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? use the arrow keys instead of W,A,S,D
What happens when the bug occurs? Camera shifts above the characters head when trying to walk forward.
What do you expect to see? Add option to re-bind the camera movements away from the arrow keys.

Hopefully this can be fixed soon.

Hey guys! I've found a way of using the arrow keys for movement, without it controling the camera. I just used a program called "AutoHotKey" which allows you to script keys. For this, all i done to be able to play this game with arrow keys was make this script;

Up::w

Down:: s

Left::a

Right::d

The down script is meant to have no space after the colon, but I had to put a space there because it turns it into an emoji.

copy and paste that into a new script and you will be able to use arrow keys in A Way Out.

Is there any fix yet? I just downloaded this game to find out i can't play as a lefty. Very disappointed that a game of today cannot accommodate for left handed players using the arrow keys! FIX PLEASE.
