Keybinding Remapping
Anyone else on PC with M/KB for controls experiencing this?

The game won't let me remap keys (I game left handed)?! I L click on a key binding to change it and nothing happens (most games give you a prompt to press the key you want to remap to). I've tried both settings on the Key Bindings lock/unlock button at the bottom left of the key bindings screen--neither setting makes any difference. TY.

Yes, that's usually what it is, but that, or say 3-10 clicks even; aren't bringing up the prompt to press the key I want to remap to.

I've had the base game and DLC since day 1, I've never had any previous issue with remapping keybinds. Update 4 defaulted all my key remaps to vanilla. :(

Thanks for your response.

Do you have a controller or other non kb/mouse input device plugged in as well?
I was unable to bind to specific mouse buttons (4 and 5), and had an issue where all prompts showed up as controller instead of kb input...until i force disabled all controller profiles for this game via the games menu in steam.

Have a Game-pad and cant use witcher sense or parry because the LT does nothing and there's no way to re-map it - now i cant even re-map my keyboard - at this point its unplayable without witcher sense.

If you're trying to play on KB and have a controller conflicting with it, try my solution.
Right click witcher 3 wild hunt in steam, go to properties, controller - disable controller profile. Should allow for proper KB/Mouse binding.

Had the same issue with a controller plugged in, and it was the only way to get the game to allow me to fully bind keys and display kb based input prompts in the tutorials.

@envirovore--just M/KB; I'll try force disabling all controller profiles as you did, just in case that's it. Thanks to all for the responces!

Fixed it; sort of.

The last time I played was in May of 2020, subsequently I uninstalled the game/DLC, but retained my save games .ini file, game settings, etc.

This AM I deleted my save games (Gggggrrrr!!!!) and the other 2020 settings files; then verified my new v.4 game files (one bad one/was fixed). I'm now able to remap key binds with a whole bunch of L mouse clicking on the key bind a want to remap (never the same number of L clicks between any 2 remaps); instead of just the double click that should enable the remap.

Got'em all remapped finally..................at least the game runs good (so far) at max settings; unlike so many posting of their issues/troubles here.
