Stuck with Skipper Auto

[Jan van Santen]

Hi, I'm playing since EA release and now got my first Brigg. 

From the videos on youtube, I take it, that a brigg should allow manual sail control eg for tacking.

 

However, the keys Q, E, Y, C (German keyboard, win 10) to which the masts should react do nothing. Neither tapping, holding them down or dbl tapping does anything in the game. I tried remapping on keyboard, mouse etc, but still no reaction. I am kinda stuck with skipper auto.

 

I searched the forum and also googled, but no answers.

 

Any ideas, what I am missing ?

Hm. No idea, but maybe you could try to remap the button for auto sail (F) to another button and try again.

That didn't help. Neither did verifying the game in steam nor reinstalling it (after manually removing it from registry)

Have you tried remapping to keys besides Q/E in order to isolate the problem?

[Jan van Santen]

To exclude hardware issues, I installed the game on my laptop (Win 10 64, german internal and external KB) Same problem there. 

 

Also swapping the keys for rudder and mast didn't help. Rudder works on Q, E, (or A, D) but the mast never reacts....

 

So this is definitely a problem the game has...

 

Edit: sry, I was mistaken by the videos, showing the manual tacking in open world. Looks like it works in battle only now. 

 

Another proof, that this game needs a manual....
