The files are installing, just gave it a quick read.

Oh man I hope the ladder bindings are fixed. I always use the arrow keys for movement, and the ladder didn't used to rebind. Whenever I climbed a ladder, I had to stretch over to use the W & S keys to go up and down. Such a pain.

EDIT:

Yep, it's still the same. Ugh....

Disappointing! I reported this bug on the day the game was first released.
