    Greetings friends. Yesterday I downloaded this game from the steam site. Immediately I decided to reassign the keys responsible for controlling the car to WASD. But upon registration, all letter keys are displayed with a "?" both in the English layout and in the Russian layout. Changing the language to the game did not help, as did loading from the administrator.
    The latest version of the game is 0.20 ...
    There are no modifications.
    Tell me how you can solve this problem or how you can reassign the keys in another place?
    I apologize for my French. The test was compiled in google translator.
    Thank.

    Are you using windows vista? Vista is not supported. If you’re using windows 7, come on. It’s 2020. BeamNG highly recommends windows 10. And besides, you can just use a PS4 or an Xbox controller or a steering wheel, and that makes your driving life so much easier!
    Oh and also do you have an account on steam? Just curious

    That is stupid bug which are already was discussed out for developers but nothing happens to improve. You should FIRST change the keyboard layout to ENGLISH and AFTER START the game. That also affects symbol buttons response.

    Not everyone has the money or wants to spend money on a controller, so no. You cannot "just use" a PS4 controller. It was neither his problem in the first place, so no need to comment on that.
    Also, why do you assume he does not have an account on Steam? Just curious.

    I succeeded:
    1. go to settings and change them to"?"- those actions that are necessary for change. (in my case, this is machine control and slow control)
    2. go to "C:\Users\[the name]\documents\BeamNG. drive\settings\inputmaps" and open the "keyboard.diff" file. I used Notepad++.
    3. In the file. All new key assignments are set in the binding structure.
    4. edit "?"- on the desired keys, taking into account the action on the button.
    5. Ready
    I apologize for the translation.
