Key Bindings Not Saving

[Umbrae]

Loving the game so far, but I was trying to key bind for a southpaw and it appears anything I change on the key bindings does not save. It will show the change but after hitting save changes (once on the key binding and once on the option screen) I can go right back in and the changes are gone. Seems deleting a key binding works just not adding or changing a binding.

Anyone else having this issue?

I found a DefaultInput.ini file, but not sure how safe it is to alter this.

I feel for you friend. Had the same problem with a couple of games lately like fallout 4 and shadow of mordor. Very annoying.

No solution though.

same problem here. if i restart the game, some keybinds will work, some wont. I always rebind keys to ESDF instead of WASD. At first only ED would work but i could not pan the camera side to side. I restarted the game, and i could move SD but no EF. wtf

Same issue. Please fix it.

Original XCOM had this problem too, but only after every patch. Now it is permanent...

Seeing this too on the mac. I managed to unbind rotate camera left and right, but now I can't rebind them and can't rotate my camera at all. :(

Got the same problem. I consider the game unplayable because of this.

I had the same issue of some key rebindings not being saved when I assigned keys to the "Secondary Keys" column. When I remapped the keys I wanted to the "Primary Keys" column, that seemed to stick.

[BackdireinEis]

For me it doesn`t work in the primary and secondary column.

I had some luck dealing with this by hitting "edit keybindings" from the main menu - not in the game - and then hitting "reset to defaults" from there before rebinding the keys I wanted to. As a pure guess, maybe the code for the main menu is more reliable than the in-game one. In any event, my keys are now set up as I wanted them to be.

One of my pet topics; but somehow this game allowed me to re-bind for left-handed. Unlike that PoS `Metal Gear Solid 5` etc which are locked down like a tatooed ♥♥♥♥♥.

Key binding broke on release day, it's disgraceful.
What! Did they not tell the programmers that this was a PC game? Did the poor buggers still thing they were optimizing for consoles? Certainly looks that way.

I mean really? Friaxis can't program customizable keybindings? They should be ashamed of themselves.

Same issue here, but worse. I tried to replace key for overwatch. Secondary key didn't work (it didn't save), so overwrote primary key - now there is no key binding for it at all and no way I can see of restoring it :(

[Shank]

Same bug here. I've reset it, and tried to re input them. It messed up again, on a different binding this time. Tried reset again, and rebind, and it messed up again. I'm thinking we should just wait before really trying to play it. It's clearly atleast a dev cycle or two away from completion.

Just reset to defaults, save exit, go back in make your changes, save exit. worked for me.

[RAYtracer]

tried all of these different ways to save keybinds.. nothing works
1. reset to defaults
2. bind to primary
3. bind to secondary
4. edited permissions on xcom2 folder in mygames so read-only was not checked.
5. set keybinds in loaded game
6. set keybinds in main menu (this works, but when restart the game they are back to where they were.
