Joystick sensitivity options always reset!!! Please fix this!
What the title says. Every time I try to adjust joystick sensitivity settings it always resets to default when I try to apply the options. The game warns that deadzone settings don't take effect until restart but this isn't even deadzone setting and restarting a mission doesn't do anything. Sometimes for some reason the only sensitivity setting I didn't even adjust drops down a notch while the others stay in their default value. Why?
Please fix this. This is really annoying.

I managed to fix the joystick sensitivity values by manually adjusting the values in a config file. Not the ideal solution but it's something.
I also encountered the resetting controls issue. For some reason if I changed the controls then some of the joystick values changed to a slightly lower number than I wanted. It's frustrating because you have to wrestle with the options and even then they're not exactly what you would want.

Hopefully all of these issues will be fixed sooner rather than later.

Please fix this.

i see the lines in the C:\Users\3ddave\AppData\Local\MW5Clans\Saved\Config\Windows\GameUserSettings.ini file:
JoystickSensitivityX=0.700000
JoystickSensitivityY=0.350000
JoystickSensitivityTwist=0.700000
CustomSafeZoneEnabled=False
SafeZoneScale=0.000000
SafeZoneScaleWidth=0.000000
SafeZoneScaleHeight=0.000000

not sure what to set them at but will experiment. using Logitech x52 HOTAS and is not possible to really aim with the joystick and mostly use the mouse for shooting but really want to just use the joystick cause im playing in vr with UEVR... :steamhappy:

I find that even after manually changing the values in the GameUserSettings.ini (and saving it), the game will just set them back to their original values the next time the game is started. They really really need to fix this - or at least let folks make changes to the config without automatically overwriting it on startup.

Look up your GameUserSettings.ini file, make the changes you need to make, go to properties, and change it to read only.
There was an early issue with the keyboard mapping resetting every time the game was loaded as well (F-you radial menu, get off my mouse!), changing the file to read only fixed it for us.

You have to "Save As" and replace the original file with the game open, then close the game and reopen, worked for me. Saving the original file didnt do anything for me either.
