Action menu is bugged - can't switch weapons

Recommended Posts

so basically, I can't switch weapons using the action menu, and have to use the numbers on the numpad.

I jut don't have to option to switch weapons using my action menu, these options don't appear at all.

It has been this way since I started playing the apex sneak peak preview. but it remains the same even if when I'm using the NONE version, or the game with the apex update on it.

 

thanks for the help guys

Its not a bug! 

If you want to switch the controls to the old controls just go to: configure>controls>preset or something>select Arma 3 vanilla or standard or what ever its called, you'll find it

No need to reset all your controls! Just remove the weapon selection binds.

Seriously! Without any doc about this change? Players have to guess...

you should read the development branch changelog, or follow Arma 3 on twitter @ Arma3official 

And if you start your launcher, have a look into the Spotrep:

 

  • Added: A new default controls preset (Arma 3 Apex)

This default was added months ago.  I hated it at first, but have gotten used to using 123 for my weapons now instead of incessant scrolling and misclicking.

I must admit sometimes, I don't read all spotrep sitrep in depth. Just because it's not my native language and i prefer to play Arma... like some others i presume.

 

Fortunately, i missed this "issue" just because i denied the new Apex key binding. I guessed it could be a lot of work to re-adjust all my keys. I'm left handed and I have to live in this right handed world.

 

Btw, BI made an effort to add key binding for camera editor... but that doesn't work for up / down / left / right arrows. I don't now why.

The first time I started ArmA3 after the APEX update/release I was presented with the usual "Update splash screen" detailing what the expansion added etc. Upon closing this I was informed of the new control presets and given the option to select one. However, I was also given the very discreet option to simply cancel out of the popup and effectively make no changes to my controls at all. Just do that and your controls wont be fucked up.

This doesn't fix the issue for those who have already experienced the issue - KokaKolaA3's solution should do that. My solution simply stops the issue from occurring in the first place :)
