2.4 Quick Start Guide

[Obsydian]

Hi guys!

A lot of the control key bindings have changed with patch 2.4, causing much confusion everywhere (especilly as there doesn't appear to be any official explantion of the new key bindings!), so BoredGamer has helpfully put together a short 11 minute video explaining most of the changes for patch 2.4 that is worth watching if you want to keep your frustration levels as low as possible.

Of course, this shows how things are for patch 2.4H, which is currently on the PTU, and many of thse could change before it eventually makes it on to the live servers, but it should be a good place to start.

That accounts for some of my problems I experienced when I logged in the other day! :roflmao:

Yeah, me too - I spent all of five minutes walking around my empty hangar, looking at the dots on the floor and then wondering what I had to do.  None of the camera controls worked and and I couldn't see anything in my mobiGlas that I could do anything with.

Very frustrating...and then the missus called me to attend to come duties and that was that!

I couldn't work out the way to get the mouse cursor up in chat mode. So F12 then Enter to get into chat, but how to get the help and scroll functions working requires the cursor which used to be Left-Alt and Spacebar. Not now.

I believe this is now Right-Alt and /
