The hotfix didn't really work for me either. Without the hotfix, pressing left would just rotate the character 10 degrees to the left once, but even with the hotfix, turning left was about 10 times slower than turning right, and when I simultaneously pressed left and forward, then let go, my character would do a quick 270 degree turn. (again: that happens after I let go of the keys completely)
In the end I gave up trying to use the keyboard, set all turning speeds to 0 and bound both strafing keys to the same keys as "Left" and "Right" and now the game plays reasonably similar to a first person game (except you can turn while strafing)
I would also like to add I find it quite hilarious RWS managed to make a game where a bug that causes you to be unable to turn left is nested deep within the game's core. That's some pretty impressive programming right there. :-P
