Please let us change keybinds on PC
I can't adequately express, in words, how terrible a key bind space is for interaction

Among others...

Please just let us adjust key binds on PC!

Hi, you can change it in the settings.

You can... but it's not saving. Everytime you leave the game and open again, you have to configure all from scratch again.

You can change the keyboard bindings. And they are saved as well.
Go to options, press the button for 'Change input', redefine your keys, press the back (cancel) button to return to the general options, and then press the 'Save and quit' button, to return to the main menu. Your setting and keybinds will be saved, and persistent upon restarting the game.

If they are not saved, then you probably have permission issues in the folder that the game saves the settings.

Yup. Saved okay for me. I did what nelvus said.

What the heck is the menu key?!

I am stuck in game because I can't find how to open the menu to either save my game or exit!

**edit**
Ok default menu key is "I" (capital i) wierd. I wish you could set it to ESC and cancel to ESC. Those 2 functions would never conflict.

During the title screen you see the key on the bottom left to call the Pause menu, which shows you all keys and what they do. On keyboard it's the I (uppercase i) key.
PhamTrinli Dec 13, 2022 @ 2:26pm 
Wait, so is "pause" the menu or is "menu" the menu? Because they are each bound to a different key.

**edit**
Ok, I see - it's just pause - not a menu. You confused me for a sec :P

Also, tool tips are not updating to reflect changed key binds. They still say to press the old key binds to access whatever function

Also you can't pause or open any menu during dialogue. Please fix :\

Also, I can't seem to use any healing items I picked up. I press my use key on them in the menu and nothing happens. Doesn't give me a prompt of who to use it on or anything.

**edit**

Are they only for in-combat use?

Are you trying to heal outside of combat? After every fight, you get healed to full automatically!

What folder is that? It's not saving for me either. They revert every time I restart the game.

I guess this is an issue for only some of us. I cannot save changes to controller keybindings as well. Unfortunately the settings seem to be saved in the Registry...

I´d appreciate some help!

All the best
