Can't change the key bindings!

[Lord_Vesuvius]

Not being able to change the key bindings is almost a game breaker for me....

[Fabinouze]

Same, and since my keyboard is "azerty", I can't move myself properly. Help !

[GrumpyArab]

It is unbelievable that a 2014 game doesn't allow you to rebind your keys. I think I will try using a controller as there is no way for me to use right-handed key bindings.

[Lord_Vesuvius]

I had to resort to the controller as well....Makes me sad.

No key configutration again! They are from Mars maybe? Hey, devs, what if i am left-handed, or disabled in some way, or just play on arrows? Nice you show us you controller set. But why we are can't change it? Or Unreal4 engine doesn't support it?:) Comon, i am sure this only you laziness or unprofessional view. So, can we expect key configuration option? I can't play with THAT set at all! I do not need a rotation function for left and right arrows. What a prehistoric view! Show me a person who rotate himself via arrows:) How i can comfortly play, survive and fell myself good if i forced to use somethind with "E" key when i am plaing completely on right side of keyboard? If you can't handle with UE4 input - just turn on you heads and make real keys on the right side of keyboard. I am very tired of this game already. That DX-11 problem, solved after almost day ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. And now - this crap input problem.
We need rebind options ASAP!

I started looking into altering the keybinds listed in \Steam\steamapps\common\Daylight\Engine\Config\BaseInput.ini - But that doesn't seem to actually change my keybinds so far.

As an azerty user myself, this is indeed pretty annoying. It's possible to set our keyboards to qwerty with the keyboard language part of windows, but I don't like going that route when changeable bindings are sort of standard nowadays.

MasterD Evil, doing somethig inside ...Engine\Config for 99% of the Unreal games are total useless. There are just Default setting for read from them for real input you are binded and using. Try to do the same here: Steam\steamapps\common\Daylight\LimaGame\Config. I thinks the exact file is DefaultInput.ini. Playing with that file (or with its clones in other games) helped me in other Unreal games from such lazy devs. I have no time right now to check if it works. But yesterday that helped me with some poor game called "Day One: Garry something". If it will not help - try to find something with *Input.ini inside you Documents folder. Some Unreal games store real input there also.

Just tried that location/file i've told before (DefaultInput.ini). That didn't help/work. So i went here:
Drive:\Users\YouAccountName\Documents\Daylight\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and opened/edited file called very simple/exact: Input.ini :))) And this is working! Now i can strafe on my arrows and contining to remap keys for my layout (this is not so easy - you need to search/think/edit very cautious - just backup it, but i think this file is self generated when it deleted). Try this for youself!

Editing "SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Daylight\Engine\Config\BaseInput.ini" worked for me.
You can check if you have rights to edit this file or if it isn't in ReadOnly mode.

[vodkins]

So we have 2 working locations for editing:)
P.S. Remade all needed keys for my layout right now. "Big thanks" to devs for such ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for my own money! Disrespect! I remembered your studio name and will think twice before i will buy something from you later...

[Lord_Vesuvius]

Thanks for the work around! I shall be editing those. I too shall also remember the name of the studio and think twice before a purchase. One would figure after their release was delayed they would have added the option to configure controller/keyboard settings.

[ShiniGami]

Please zombie studio, would you do us a real launcher, or we can change our keys. the world does not turn that around QWERTY keyboards. For four lines per key, it is indigestible, it is even a limit to disgust before playing .....

[Kyle2k10]

No key bindings. Tthis is total unacceptable: I feel cheated, this is a complete absurd. We players have to look for instructions in forums in order to circumvent problems that the lazy devs should antecipate in the first place. Zombie studios? never again, thanks.

[Kyle2k10]

Played only 6 minutes so far. Without key bindings, this game is totally unplayable to me. And that's all I will play, until Zombie Studios provide a fix for the key config, stuttering and all the ♥♥♥♥ problems that came with the game or I will ask for a refund.

My input.ini is empty... should i copy/paste the information from the baselInput.ini in this file?

For those who want to edit the BaseInput.ini file (in "\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Daylight\Engine\Config"), change this lines under the "general binding" section :
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward", Key=Z, Scale=1.f)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward", Key=S, Scale=-1.f)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward", Key=Up, Scale=1.f)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward", Key=Down, Scale=-1.f)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward", Key=Gamepad_LeftY, Scale=1.f)

+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight", Key=Q, Scale=-1.f)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight", Key=D, Scale=1.f)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight", Key=Gamepad_LeftX, Scale=1.f)
