I read and read here … other than trying to use Glovepie … if I cant sit at my chair and have my right hand on my mouse and move forward and zap the baddies with my right hand’s left finger … I have no desire to play this game … its eating up space on my hard drive … it’s going bye bye … Dead Space 2 … there is a update patch for it … and it does address people who want to use the mouse RMB to move forward … cheers to EA for that patch … I just finished Crysis 2 a few days ago … I’m looking forward to finding another game to play now …

First of all, thank you Kenny. Without you, Dead Space would have been unplayable.

Secondly, it’s a shame that Dead Space 2 has nearly the exact same problem yet there’s no info on how to assign mouse buttons to actions. I’ve tried mapping mouse buttons to keystrokes in my IntelliPoint mouse driver, but the responsiveness is such crud that the mouse click often doesn’t even register. Neither GlovePIE nor ghotkey worked for me last time, so it looks like I’ll end up playing it without the middle and side buttons, which is a pain. To make matters more irritating, Dead Space 2 still has that stupid limitation of not letting you assign a single key to multiple, mutually-exclusive actions. Geez.

Lastly, for anyone on Windows 7 or Windows Vista still reading, the simplest way to open the folder containing controls.rmp is to open the Start menu, paste the appropriate address into the search box and press Enter:

%LocalAppData%\Electronic Arts\Dead Space\
%LocalAppData%\EA Games\Dead Space 2\
