■Overview of newly added control configWe’ve added new control config for keyboard and mouse. These new control methods will work with laptop PCs and other keyboards that don't include numpads as well as general 2 button mouses with a wheel.
Players will be able to select from the below three types of methods to control their character, camera movement, and menu.
1. Standard: Keyboard (normal) and mouse
2. Compact 1: Keyboard (compact) and mouse
3. Compact 2: New added configuration that supports mice with wheels, as well as expanded movement via keyboard keys and mouse.
*It will be possible to select the above three options in game by accessing the main menu and going to “Config” →”Misc. 2.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
■Basic keyboard controlsIt will be possible to control your character in the below two ways when selecting option three listed above.
・Movement via the keyboard’s (W / A / S / D / Q / E ) keys
・Movement in direction of the mouse when pushing the mouse wheel
