What happened?

Never had this happen before, but while I’m barreling through a corner at 90mph I get the flash of the “switch seats” prompt in the bottom left of the screen, which is UNFORTUNATELY permanently tied to Right Trigger, which is what is used to ACCELERATE A CAR on Xbox. I ended up switching into the passenger seat in the middle of taking a corner and the car shot straight off a mountain and I died on impact after an hours long loot run. What was the thought process with the button mapping here? Why would you even give me the option to switch seats while the car is moving and I’m in 3rd person??? For the love of god it’s been over 10 years since release, ADD CONTROLLER MAPPING TO YOUR GAME so I don’t have to come complain about stupid stuff like this. If this is what we can expect from DayZ 2, with all of your subtle nods to a sequel even though your base game is a rolling dumpster fire, keep it, we don’t want another broken mod with a duct taped sign that says “standalone”.

Reproduction steps

Hop in a car (preferably a Gunter because they’re fast), whip that thing like the cops are trying to pull you over for a warrant AND you have unpaid child support, go around a bend at high speeds while slightly moving your camera to the direction of the turn, while while also in 3rd person. The “switch seats” prompt will appear for a split second and if you happen to push the accelerator to power through the curve, you might get bent over and screwed dry by your character switching seats as the car plows into the nearest tree with unbelievable precision. (Side note: You don’t have to be stoned while you do this…however I was, so it might help you see a different perspective.)

Exact build version (optional)
