I noticed that too about the strafing keys not being bound. Weird because 
that should be the default. Maybe you could look in the ini file and see if 
you can edit your login info? I've played all day today without any problem. 
The maps load faster and the game seems more "polished". Still get some odd 
hitching now and again but I can't tie that to anything in particular. There 
are going to be some spectacular maps when the editor is released...
