My entire keybinds have been removed.
Anyone else have absolutely nothing bind? I joined a game of ground RB and all this yellow writing came up on my screen about no buttons being assigned to any controls... I checked the whole lot, nothing was assigned apart from ESC.

I mean it wouldn't bother me if I used a default set up, but I have an entirely custom set up :steamfacepalm:

So's mine. It's weird how after updates some people lose their binds while others don't. Last time this happened to me was more than a year ago.

Make backups of your keybinds!!! The option to save backups is literally in the controls menu...

I have done now that I've redone them. But I don't expect my keybinds to get deleted by Gaijin for no reason............................................................

regularly export your controls to file against to disaster

Yeah do goto the bottom and when ur in ur controls just export them so it saves the binds... Giajin is notorious for randomly resetting everything as well as sound and what not...

When I first started playing, Gaijin somehow tweaked my keybinds, but not all at once, at least once a week. Now that I have a backup file, I don't think it's happened even once.

The worst was regularly getting the "target tracking" re-bound to RMB; it's like an instant death sentence for your first tank match of the day. Whoever made that decision at Gaijin seems to be actively trying to sabotage the game. . . It's just too perfectly horrible for it to be an unintentional screw-up from someone who never plays the game itself.

Ugh that was so annoying when I played Arcade mode. I'd be aiming at a tank, right click and my turret goes off to look for a plane behind me... :steamfacepalm:

I have since removed that function from a keybinding lol.

Happened to me when I launched WT with gamepad plugged in. I was so pissed... Now I always have a backup

Happens to me once every 2-3 months. What happens more frequently is my assault fuses and shell selection getting reset every few weeks and the assault fuses get me killed since I drop a bomb expecting my 1.5s fuse and instead instant explosion.

You cant reliably use a default set keyboard because many basic functions like range finder or if you fly planes open bomb bay are not even bound.

The plane loadout section is so inconsistent that I have gotten into the habit of obsessively checking to make sure it's all good before spawning--every single time, even if I just used said plane in the last match.

If you have custom keybinds, you should always 'Export to File' located at the bottom left in the Controls and save it so you can always import it back in if the game wipes your keybinds.

This happened to me recently as well but I was able to retrieve my controls from my backup file.
