Joystick unfriendly game.
Why this game is so Joystick unfriendly? why you need 3th party software just to set simple throttle up and down controls. I'm not buying MW5 Clans just for that reason. This is 21 century, get your lazy arsses of the chair Devs and update the Control options to allow wider range of settings.

Can't call it a Joystick,if you get no JOY OUT OF IT ;)

I'm sure there is a lot more people out there who decided not to buy MW5 Clans for that reason.

Why, Mr Entitled, did you EXPECT this game to support a joystick - it's not like it's a flight siim.

So here's a tip - how's about you get your butt out of your entitlement chair and get over yourself

With this kind of attitude no wonder game is loosing more players with each release.

Sweeping problems under the rug in your case must amount for your rug to be Mt.Everest high.

I hope some more advanced Developer will eventually buy the game and develop it properly. If you can't add simple x/y/z (move forward/backwards and strafe sideways) axis to movement options then it means you have problem.

Only prob here is the expectations of players who think it's FPS or a flight SIM which is exactly what it isn't. The game is from a very lore rich universe where mechs have NEVER strafed.

Yet, probably half of this games community play with joysticks and they say nothing because they got used to having to install 3th party software just to play it. All new comers will not do that. Sorry, We are not buying MW5 Clans or beyond unless it is fixed.
I played very first MW and I'm done with this bullcrap. I'm not buying MW5 Clans.

Ok had enough of your entitlement. If you 'need' to 'fix' the unbroken - learn to mod or set up your own Development Company :steamfacepalm:

So if your not buying it, why are you in here crying your eyes out over joystick driver support, No Mechwarrior game in the series has had full joystick support and i mean none. Devs are not going to change their development priority for you. You not buying it? good, if your too stupid to not figure out how to rebind a none supported control device with 3rd party software thats your problem.

I see you're all having fun without me.
Those who play it with HOTAS is a very minuscule part of playerbase, so catering to that crowd is useless. Hell, people even struggle with the classic "tank controls" so the devs included the abominable"FPS-style" option.

Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries for Dummies - there's a book franchise :steamfacepalm:

I just can't figure out why no one can do a cursory search of whatever they are having a problem with in the discussions. There has to be 150 different discussions with each different joystick and hotas setup explained, yet the next moron can't search up the answer they have to have stuff posted just for them in their own discussion topic. I try to be patient but god dang

This is the General Discussion board for Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, not Clans. Wrong game.
