Yes it is DoubleTap.
Right click is Control + click if you don't have a 2-buttons mouse.


Didn't work for me. Very frustrating to be unable to use a weapon in a deathrace with live humans.

Sorry about that DT. Today's patch gives you a new Preferences setting, which allows you to turn on/off the 'auto context menu' feature (which was previously always 'on', for Mac users)

No worries, Sam. Was I doing something wrong last night that I couldn't get it to work?

I don't know if some other key rather than Control would have done it; I rarely use Macs myself. JD had the same problem as you though.

JD, how'd you fix it? I'd hate to play out the rest of my subscription unable to fire a shot...

DT - there's a Preference setting available now. From the top menu in-game, choose Preferences. Then check the "Auto-show Context Menus" setting.

So, is the solution to this problem to enable the preference to show the menu on hover?  That would make me :(

I ask because I was playing without my two-button mouse attached (using just the trackpad), and cntrl-click would not register as a right-click (and neither would any other key combination).

[possible thread hijack]
Also, possible related: I've found that some of the key commands don't work in the Mac client.  The two that I remember right now are the comma, and the period to move through the cars.  In the latest races/DRs I've been in I've attempted to cycle through the vehicles with those keys and had no success.

The cycle keys only work when you have more than two cars under your personal control.

If you have 2 cars entered in an arena, you can cycle between them with the keys. It works the same in the wilderness if you personally have more than 2 cars in the scout.

unless you are not using a Qwerty keyboard... like me, keys are different, but in the same position. Mines are ',' and ';'. Azerty keyboard.

Ah.  That might need to be clarified in the documentation; I was under the impression it would cycle through *all* the cars, not just those under my control.  Or perhaps I misread the instructions. :rolleyes:

@Dustyjjc: unless you have a real 2-button mouse, there is no emulated right-click.

On our side (the Mac side), there is no need for a right click, the menus are auto-popping up when needed.
Enable the preference to show the menu on hover. This preference is found in-game, preference menu (top left of the screen).

Most of the problem could be solved by using a 2-button mouse.

Here is a screenshot of the preference menu (not available until you join a game).

If you have a single-button mouse, we recommend to enable "auto show context menus".

What about siphoning gas and reloading weapons at the loot screen, Vik?

@Vikk
So........If no emulated 'right click' I guess we cannot refuel or reload from the looting screen with a one button mouse? Right?

I also cannot place flags in scouting events....this is related?

Yes JD, I presume problem is related.
I'll give it a look this evening with a single button mouse.

Any new news on a right click option on the Mac for reloading/siphoning at the loot screen and for flags, Vik?
