Turns out I had a controller plugged in that I didn't think was plugged in. I made sure my joystick was unplugged, but there was another one plugged in that I had forgotten about.

Hey, I've just started Arma2/DayZ for the first time, and it seems my head is on sideways. When I walk forward, I go forward/right relative to the way my head/camera is facing. I can hold down alt and look around, but as soon as I let go, it goes back sideways. I've searched around for a while and tried a bunch of things in the config settings, but I have not been able to figure out how to fix this. It's really annoying to have to strafe sideways to go "forward" (but it's not really forward, I'm just stuck looking sideways). How do I fix this?

I just installed the ArmA 2 demo and tried starting a server to play with a friend. When I got into the game I was looking to the left. When I moved forward, I'd move to the right. I could tell I was looking left due to the shadow. It's impossible to aim. I tried changing the keys in my config, etc., and could not get it to straighten out. What's weird is when I hit ESC to go to the menu, I'm facing the correct direction, but as soon as I get back into the game, I'm facing left again. The only thing I could find that sort of worked was using alt to look around, but as soon as I zoom in or anything, I look back to the left. The camera actually zooms in, but I'm not looking down a sight. The game is completely unplayable like this. It took two mags just to kill one of the AI teammates standing next to me. I tried completely restarting the game, and the problem was still there. I tried having my friend host the server, and I was still stuck looking left. Edit: Fixe it by unbinding all the free look stuff. Guess my controller was messing with it.
