P.S.: I’m sorry for my English

Mel :

My C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Electronic Arts\Dead Space
Folder is empty!?

1. Vista or XP?
2. Steam or retail box?
3. Have you customised any keys yet?

trioptimum :

can somebody build up some little tool which creates a proper controls.rmp? a thing of an utility which allows the user to define the keys he wants. should be no big problem, right? unfortunately i am no programmer.

You’re right, it’s not that tricky but equally there’s also no real need. Configuring keys is mainly a one or two time job so spending the time writing such a utility is wasted effort given it’s trivial to setup the arrow keys to do what you want by either following the instructions in this blog post or downloading the provided controls.rmp file.

- Mouse sensitivity seems to get dramatically reduced when you’re moving or aiming
- Mouse sensitivity seems to be affected by where your position(?!) within a particular room.
- I wanted a ’sticky’ RUN key (Hit “R”…Assumes run is bound to Numpad9)

I downloaded this game through steam and would like to apply the arrow key fix but am not sure how…

Jesus bless you!
