Hello this is my first post here....

So please be gentle!

I am having issues when I try and zoom. I am using the defaulted 'z' key but it does not work. Instead the weapons that allow zoom appear to automatically cycle between the different zoom levels.


Does anyone else have this problem? or know the cure?

I am sorry if this has already been raised, but this forum does not appear to have a search function.

Regards

Heyyo,

Check your controll configurations, by default, it also does mouse3 (aka, middle click which's push down on your mousewheel). Try that button too. I think you accidentally binded your zoom key to another key. If not? try creating a new player profile, and see if it repeats. If so? it could be faulty keyboard drivers.

You see, me bud has faulty keyboard drivers, so the volume up button is mute, mute is volume down, vol down is like, calculator... lmao, funny. :)

I checked the settings! zoom was set to a button (joystick I presume which I removed) and z (which I rebound).

Dont know where I can get the drivers for my keyboard as there is nothing special about it, but I will defo have a look!

I am still getting trouble with the scoped weapons automatically zooming, but bizarly sometimes it works fine on some gaming sessions!

I've fix my problem, so people can sleep easy now;-)

It was to do with a joystick that I have connected. Halo detected it and added it to my current profile.

For some reason, and I think I mentioned above, I had the controls set to keyboard/mouse but had a keyboard and an button (button5 I think) option to activate the zoom.

I thought about this and then the penny dropped.

As some may know Halo allows for users to remove control devices from individual profiles so as I was not using my joystick for my current profile, I removed it.

Now it all works fine:-)

Thanks for the sounding board. Tiz always good to have it visible somewhere so you can reduce duplication.
