    HELLO!!! I ACCIDENTALY UNBIND THE LEFT MOUSE BOTTON AND I CAN’T INTERACT WITH THE BOARD. Please Helppp!!!!! 🙁 🙁 🙁

      Even if your mouse is not set to interact, you can still use the whiteboard using the space key. Then go to setting, then controls, and select reset. When you unbind the left mouse button, it doesnt work once you are inside the job. But before that, you could interact with the white board and use the left mouse button to interact.

        Using the space key works but you did not explain clearly on how to go to the settings when the left mouse button is unbind still. But I’m guessing using a controller is another way to go to settings and resetting the buttons

          I tried to unbind my left mouse button, it was still working and I could go into the settings to reset the buttons. I do not know how it wasn’t working for you but if what you are claiming is true, it is a game-breaking bug and you should report it to developers. When you unbind the left mouse button it doesn’t work inside the game during the job to interact with items, but you can use the left mouse button on the whiteboard to go into settings.

          • Hikari

            Okay then report it to the developers or check your mouse left click might be having some issue. Because it didn’t throw us out off the board nor I haven’t heard any other player are having the same issue. You can just uninstall the game and reinstall it or if you don’t want to download again, you can create a backup first.

    Hey, I just got the game, and found that whenever I press g to drop things, I just toss them no where near where it shows it’ll go. Any advice on how to place them down gently?

    • Angelz

      Well, you can crouch and drop items so that they are not tossed far away or look down while dropping down EMF or stuffs.

      F keep places it in the shaded area. G drops the item, and if it is a camera usually on the lens making it useless. : )
