Wheel custom inputs not saving

[cpugeek13]

I set up my Moza R5 to play this game and it seemed to be working fine. However, when I opened the game the next day, I found that all of my custom mappings were lost. I remapped them and tried restarting the game, which resulted in the settings being lost again. Anyone know how to fix this? Also FYI, I am also using a thrustmaster h-shifter as well.

Update: I've found that this happens when I open the Ubisoft Connect menu in the game as well. Maybe they are loading the default settings from the cloud which are overwriting mine? I haven't found a solution yet.

I made a video of this happening when I open the Ubisoft Connect menu in the game. It also happens whenever I restart the game.

Any solutions? I really want to love this game but these issues are driving me (no pun intended) insane

I have the same problem
Do you also have a dead zone on the brake and throttle 50%?

Hello everyone,

Sorry to hear it that your steering wheels settings reset in the Crew Motorfest.

Can you all let us know what brands and models these are?
Please keep in mind that there may be issues with the wheels that are not officially supported by the game.

any solutions yet?? Moza R12 not saving mappings

[tarquin.x13]

It seems I found a solution. My setup is Moza R5 and The CrewMotorfest v3697383

1. Make changes to the settings and make a photo of the each screen with buttons mapped (or write down)
2. Open documents folder C:\Users\$user\Documents\TheCrewMotorfest (where $user is your username)
3. Find the file Bindings_$id.xml ($id is a device id, in my case it was Bindings_7f8e5cae.xml)
4. Make a backup of this file.
5. Edit the file with some editor (e.g. notepad). It will contain all the mapped actions but the "Name" will be empty. For example in my case it was something like
<Action Name="RoadThrottle" IsAnalog="1">
<Channel Device="$device_channel" Name="" />
</Action>

6. Put the buttons number with "BUTTON" prefix into the Name
e.g. in my config it was
<Action Name="RoadThrottle" IsAnalog="1">
<Channel Device="2140036270" Name="BUTTON14" />
</Action>

"Channel Device" is a device number, it can be different in your case

7. Left and right turns in my case were different. The mapping names were "LEFT" and "RIGHT"
in my config
<Action Name="RoadSteerLeft" IsAnalog="1">
<Channel Device="2140036270" Name="LEFT" />
</Action>
<Action Name="RoadSteerRight" IsAnalog="1">
<Channel Device="2140036270" Name="RIGHT" />
</Action>
8. Make a backup of the file again, if you do any other changes to the specific mappings, it can overwrite the existing mapping and you might need to repeat this exercize again.

I find The Crew Motorfest actually a good game. The wheel works suprisingly well and gives me new emotions. Good luck

Hello sir! I understand this post is a few months old but i wanted to follow-up as i'm a new player experiencing this problem also with a Moza wheel, but the person before me has come across a solution i feel could help other players regardless of their device being supported or not.

Something i recognized with the Moza compared to other peripherals is that the button bindings aren't assigned as your typical X-Box bindings like most wheels are converted to (X/B/A/Y etc), but rather as "BUTTON1" for "A", or "BUTTON2" for "B". Another user before me in this thread noticed this and found that editing the Bindings_[Device].XML file in your %user%/documents/TheCrewMotorfest folder allowed the game to save your keybindings, but you need to manually adjust these outside of the game for the settings to persist. For example after closing the game, i can find this in the XML file:

<Action Name="DPAD_DOWN" IsAnalog="0">
<Channel Device="1607888095" Name="" />

You'll notice that Name is set to "" even though i've assigned it to D-Pad Down in game prior to quitting. Now in the XML file, i can edit that to the following and press Save, and it retains my binding as D-Pad Down in a way that both the game and my wheel recognize it:

<Action Name="DPAD_DOWN" IsAnalog="0">
<Channel Device="1607888095" Name="BUTTON7" />

Without modifying this file outside the game, Crew Motorfest does not save this binding and reverts it to an unbinded key. The same can be said with all bindings relating to a "BUTTON" command. The exemption are commands that don't have the word BUTTON plus a number (eg. Steering left = "LEFT" or RoadThrottle = "FWD", it's totally fine remembering these since it's universal terminology).

If the game is able to save Wheel settings with the logic of BUTTON# in the Name="" space, this will resolve the problem for all users regardless of the make and model of their device.

Thank you and have a great evening!

Hi tarquin.x13, changing the file helped but I can't handle one thing. I can't set the brake pedal because I don't know what name to enter? Can you send me what the brake should be called in this file? The accelerator pedal is called "FWD"

<Action Name="RoadThrottle" IsAnalog="1">
<Channel Type="COMBINED" Device="1472213194" Name="FWD" />
</Action>
<Action Name="RoadBrake" IsAnalog="1">
<Channel Type="COMBINED" Device="1472213194" Name="" />


I use a Moza R3 steering wheel


Thanks.

Hi Maruder78, unfortunately, I will not be able to help here, because I don't use the pedals for my wheel. The person above (Rizzu) might know though, since provided the FWD command. Next points are only my best guesses
* LEFT and RIGHT commands were actually saved by the game first time. So I wonder if short commands are saved, but long commands (like BUTTON...) are not saved. So may be try to save only brake command.
* if the brake command was not saved, may be it is actually BUTTON... does it show anything on the settings screen?
* if nothing above works, then it is an "interesting" game to search for a possible option. BACKWARD, BWD, BCK, BACK, BRAKE, etc...

Please put comment if you find a correct answer
Thanks

Thanks tarquin.x13,
I'll try BCK, BWD etc. and i'll give feedback.
