    NO!, not if you cant bind the mouse buttons to what i use for every other game i play...can't understand the developers theses days, they think that every one uses the WSAD to move and shot with the mouse

    Because it makes most logical sense.

    I totally agree with the OP.

    I pre-ordered before the demo came out.

    I can't seem to get an answer for this question and I'm about two days away from cancelling the pre-order.

    I have all kinds of newer games I can play and save my $ for developers that consider not everyone likes the "wasd" control configuration.

    I tried, really tried to play the demo but without the controls the way I like them, it's too much like work and not very fun.

    It seems you dont know how to use controll settings,first you must clear out default mouse settings before make new 1.at least i did my own settings and it worke fine.

    Try that with the right mouse button... doesn't work.

    My question is "Why not"?

    Why does that make most logical sense?, that was just a ignorant answer.

    Under my 45 years I have played PC games for 25, both professional and for my own entertainment. Of course i have tested every possible way to bind my mouse buttons, otherwise i would not make this post in the first place.

    If you rely want to be able to bind your mouse buttons to something else then cancel the order, i did read that what you can bind in the demo is what you can bind in the final release...so i am skipping this game.

    Read item 57 here... http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/sho...&postcount=104
    I have sent 2K Elizabeth a PM about the mouse issue tho...but that has not ensured me in any way that she can convince the developers to make it possible.

    You can pretty much map any key for the game using application by following the guide below.

    Step 1:
    -Create a text file and name it "Mafia 2.ahk".


    Step 2:
    -Paste this code in this text and save the file.

    #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
    SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
    SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
    #InstallMouseHook
    #InstallKeybdHook

    #IfWinActive ahk_class Mafia II
    RButton::Up
    MButton:own


    Step 3:
    -Install AutoHotKey application (http://www.autohotkey.com/download/) and double click this script file you just created before you play.

    RMB has been mapped to forward and MMB has been mapped to back in Mafia 2.
    Do not forget to change the controls in the game.

    You can read the AutoHotKey Quick Start Tutorial (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm) to work out all the possibilities.

    Yeah, and I've been trying to make this work for two weeks.

    Doesn't.

    I can't figure out why as AHK works fine in anything else I try it with (on this computer) but not this game on my computer, with my mouse. The game seems to ignore AHK entirely.

    I can set up a script to assign any key and it works in any other program I've tried but this game. No matter what I set a script for, it just refuses to recognize it.

    I'm am really frustrated... I've spent way more time than I ever should have had to on this... ignorance.
