Controls messed up.
All my controls are absolutely messed up. "Key Bindings" menu states that everything is the same as by default and all the key settings look fine there.

But for example:

- All [SPACE] actions (climbing, next cover etc) are replaces by [0] and even some [E] actions with the same [0]
- I am unable to mark enemies. When I press [ALT] nothing happens (difficulty is set to Normal, so M&E options was working before!)
- I can shoot only one bullet and afterwards it seems like left mouse button just stops working.


Anyone has any idea what the heck is happening with my controls?
And how to fix it?

That sounds like one odd ball bug. It sounds like you have conflicting key binds and the game is just cancelling out too.

I would go to basics. Click the reset to default option on the key binding settings window.
This should set things right.

I was looking to see if there is an .INI file to manually set keys. Unlike previous SC games where you could manually set your key binds,there seems to be no such .INI file for this one.
I have no clue how to find the settings and manually edit them.

Like I said try clicking the default setting option and then restarting.
Rebind them as necessary is desired.

Beyond that make a ticket and see what they tell you.

Tried it, didn't fix the problem. I'll probably ticket them if no one else replies.

Unless you wanna go for the immediate uninstall/reinstall SC: Blacklist, you might try reinstalling the patches manually. Apparently sometimes there's an issue where your firewall may stop Blacklist from patching or something, make sure to make an exclusion for it.

This is kind of late but I found a fix today. I also had this problem. Go to C:\Users"your user name here"\Documents\Ubisoft\Blacklist and open the file "inputTranslations.ini". If we had the same problem (controls unbound and mouse no longer moving the camera) It should look like this:

[Engine.Input]
W=MoveForward
S=MoveBackward
A=StrafeLeft
D=StrafeRight
Up=MoveForward
Down=MoveBackward
Left=StrafeLeft
Right=StrafeRight

If you add the lines:

MouseX=Axis aMouseX Speed=0.001
MouseY=Axis aMouseY Speed=0.001

and save the file. This should fix the problem of the camera. When I installed the game all my keys were unbound, so I reset them to the default ones and that fixed that, but it didn't fix the camera. I'm not entirely sure what happened to your controls as mine were ok.
