Hello, Metro Exodus is a great game, but some keys seems to be hard coded and rebinding them breaks the game. For example, if I want to use the arrow keys instead of WASD, I can´t use the radio, map etc anymore.
A fix would be really appreciated :)
Thanks!
I doubt the developers will ever see this here (my apologies if I am wrong). A much better way to get to them is contacting the developers through their own website, fooltook, email or some such.

It may be better to make a recommendation or suggestion on their forum instead.

This has been an issue since the game released and will most likely not be fixed. This is a workaround that should work though, but no promises.

In the main install directory, open user.cfg with notepad and you should see the following lines:

bind up kUP
bind left kLEFT
bind right kRIGHT
bind down kDOWN

These are the keys for the radio, not character movement. Change them to:

bind up kW
bind left kA
bind right kD
bind down kS

Now the radio and map should work using the WASD keys even if you've changed the character movement keys to be something else. I hope this helps.

Thank you very much, that fixed it!
But the lines "bind up, bind left etc" were missing in the user.cfg, I simply added them and it worked.
This workaround should definitely be made available to all the pc players, very simple and effective solution. I contacted the Deep Silver support and they couldn't help.

Great! I'm glad it worked :)
