      Hello Vlad,

      that sounds like you're playing on a laptop not a desktop machine? that means you have to care about the trackpad controls, too...and that's the real drag because right-click functions only partly work all the time.

      I'd generally suggest to use a cheap external mouse for controlling the cam and other stuff in 3DX because you need the right mouse button for nearly every functionsince the last patch.

      I don't have a real workaround for you, I only fiddled around much with the 2 different locations in which settings can be made:

      The basic keyboard and mouse-settings in the system preferences of WIN and finally in 3DX itself.

      I had a hard time finding the right Bootcamp / Apple drivers for the trackpad and the mouse in the first place.

      -I am on WIN 8 still...a real bitch when it comes to bluetooth-mouse, audio and Apple drivers in general.

      The key is to find the right ones for your MacBook or whatever you're playing on in combination with the windows version.

       

      Set any function, hotkey and shortcut similar to a windows keyboard ( I activated the fn functions in the system preferences, too for example), try to switch on the "gaming mode" in Bootcamp and test different settings.

      I finally got the right-click partly working, just enough to scan a room when I enter the game shrotly to stay in touch with friends, butI  switch to n real mouse for extended playing.

      Search for "Right button functionality" + Apple mouse  + Bootcamp / Windows in google, I stumbled across a driver kit for my Apple mouse. I'll have to look up whats the name of it and it is discontinued now but still gets the job done...it needs a confirmation at every boot of WIN do function but still brings functionallity of the trackpad ( in mentioned limits).

       

      Message me again of you can't proceed, ok?

       

      Cheers from Tom :)

      Hello again Vlad.

      I am no computer pro myself so I had to find the most things out by plain trail-and-error.

      The main problem is that Apple is so restrictive when in comes to hardware and possibilities to use other brands or windows stuff...it all starts with the limits of Bootcamp itself! In my case it was simply impossible to get the audio working in the installed Windows 8 as long as the whole HD was not formatted in a specific way.

      ...Update your macOS for example and you are stuck with new Bootcamp drivers that might not work with your installed Windows version or hardware!

      I am on macOS Majave here finally but had to install older Bootcamp drivers that support a WIN 8.1 installation and additional ones to get my oder MacBook Pro keyboard and trackpad to work.

      So you might specify your environment and the acutal problems you run into?

      -It sounds like everything works enough to get a glimpse through a cam in 3DX at least?? :)

      So again:

      -Check for compatibility of Bootcamp version and drivers for your machine and installed OS/Windows

      -try updating the Bootcamp drivers in Windows again

      -check for the right driver versions for your specific hardware in Windows itself.

      .google for an Apple keyboard-layout workaround, eg. using the fn+ctrl+alt on the Apple keyboard instad of the "normal" PC keys and hotkeys for certain functions.

      I hope this helps you a bit?

       

      Grettings from Tom:)
