  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When using the grid for hotkeys (Definitive Hotkeys) cards on the bottom left (like advancing) use the hotkey ‘y’ when the game language is set to english. When playing on a german keyboard though ‘y’ and ‘z’ are swapped.

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Install game in original language
  2. Use german keyboard layout

A menu to pick the keyboard layout would be appreciated.
