The “A” button on the PC

saints-row-the-third

I'm trying to finish the deckers.die mission on the PC. When I get to the boss fight, it tells me to mash the "A" button. I hit the "A" key, and that doesn't work. The few times it tells me to hit "Space" that does work. So, I know my timing is good.

I looked through the Control bindings, and I don't see it. I do see in the gamepad section, that the default "A" button action is to jump, which is the same as "Space" on the PC. Is that what I should be hitting?

So, my question is, What is the "A" button on the PC?

When I hit Esc to get to the menu, one of the choices is highlighted with a green "A" beside it, like in the fight. Hitting "Space" does nothing. So, that's not it.

As my answer below says, "Space" did work during the actual in-game fight

Cole was right. In the fight, the "A" button and the jump button are the same thing. Also, the "Rt" button that it asks for a lot is primary fire. (I think. Just had to reboot, so haven't tested it, yet.) You can go into the Controls and look at the Gamepad scheme to check for any others.

Kind of annoying that they don't make allowances for people who are not playing on a console.

Edit:

As usual, it was User Error. About six months ago I was trying to get FaceTrackNoIR to work with XPlane. At that time, one route to do that was to install VJoy, a virtual joystick.

Even though I had both virtual joysticks disabled, Saints Row was picking them up, and treated them as controllers. I just uninstalled VJoy and Saints Row is now a well-behaved PC program.
