Mini Map

Vladimir Van Vodka

<div class="IPBDescription">It won't come up with my bind anymore!</div>^

Since build 224 I can't seem to bring up my Mini Map in regular gameplay, I have binded it to "Q" instead of "C" since I use "C" for microphone use, since the beginning of the game's alpha release it was binded to "Q", only in this specific patch it broke for me.

Details:
-I can easily toggle the Minimap when my character is dead and I'm in the respawning/team spectator view.
-While in firstperson view I can not toggle the Minimap whatsoever, seemingly no response.
-I can easily toggle the Minimap when I bind it to <i>anything other</i> then "Q".

I don't know what's wrong with it. I tried restarting the game, I tried binding it, rebinding it, binding it to another key, then back... etc etc.

Also,<i> I don't want to change it to anything else</i>; I'm optimal with this specific setup, I'm complaining because this is quite a step back for me gameplay wise since I can't tell where I'm needed or how to get there quickly and the fact that it was never a problem before build 224.



Does anybody know how to fix this? Or does anybody know if this is a bug that will be patched? Why is it "Q" specifically? Is it the Hughnicorn haunting my game because I laughed at it?

Same problem here. It's a shame. You should never bind actions hard-coded to specific keys. Always always always use constants and make the key-bindings configurable in the menu.

Agiel

Most likely one of the voice commands is bound to Q and this is overriding the map when you're alive. Look through the bindings and rebind that to something else.

I loathe hard coding keys in a pc game.
I'll report this asap (but like agiel said I believe its related to previous bindings not being automatically chanced/removed)

It may be taunt. At least my alien sounded weired, when trying to open the map. But in the configs there is no other action bound to Q.

It should be 'heal me'.

I had the same problem until I found out there was a duplicate bind and it was overriding my map key. Changed it, and it works fine now.

Xarius

Yea I had the same problem, it was double binded. (As they new alert key as well as the minimap)
Just rebind it or find the offender and change that.

Jekt

It's not hardcoded, just double bound to a command lower in the keybinds list.

_Necro_

Yeah, you are right. Thank you. Now it works again.

Vladimir Van Vodka

I tried it, thank you so much, it works again.

Now to exorcise the PC from Hughnicorn haunting.....
