WASD Character Movement
Features
Recommended Mods
Installation
A few important notes before:
I highly recommend to use Borderless Window mode. Fullscreen will not display error messages and pure Window mode will have mouse glitches.
When there is a game update after you installed the mod, you have to re-install BOTH the Mod Loader and the mod! Pay attention to ALL the steps again!
The Larian Launcher will tell you that there is a data mismatch and corrupted files. Ignore it. It just detects the mod files.
GOG users, please check if your game version is compatible with the mod version! GOG is sometime lagging behind or has different files.
Either Manually
1. Download NativeModLoader, extract the zip, and put both bink2w64.dll and bink2w64_original.dll in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin\
2. Download this mod, extract the zip, and put both BG3WASD.dll (the mod) and BG3WASD.toml (the config) in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin\NativeMods\
3. Put SDL2.dll in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin\
and overwrite the existing file!
Or WithVortex
1. Download NativeModLoader with the Mod Manager Vortex and install it "as mod" or "as replacer", doesn't matter. Ignore error messages.
2. In Vortex, under the Mods tab, double click NativeModLoader, scroll down and set "Mod Type" to "Engine Injector".
3. In the Notifications, click "Deploy".
4. Do the same 3 steps for this mod.
Some people reported they had to swap steps 2 and 3.
When the game has an update, you will need to repeat ALL the steps!

How to disable Game Updates for BG3 on Steam
When I press Rotate Camera, my Character moves Forward
When I release Rotate Camera, my mouse cursor moves to the edge of the screen
Can I bind Camera movement to other keys than Character movement?
Cancel click move
My Camera pitch is bugged
Uninstallation
To manually uninstall this mod, rename BG3WASD.dll to BG3WASD.dllx or delete it.
To uninstall all mods, rename NativeMods to NativeModsX or delete it.
If your game still crashes, delete bink2w64.dll and rename bink2w64_original.dll to bink2w64.dll.
If it now still crashes, it is not the mods' fault.
SDL2.dll does not need to be restored. It is just an unmodified SDL version 2.28 from SDLs official GitHub. If you want to restore the old SDL version 2.22 that ships with BG3, verify your game files.

Recommended Mods
- Native Camera Tweaks: This mod is vital. The combination of the two mods is amazing!
- Aether's Immersive UI: Auto-hides parts of the UI. If you play the game for the first time, I recommend to only use the Contextual Action Bar part, because otherwise buttons will be hidden that you don't even know exist.
