Controls reset after each exit

[Montiblanc]

and every time i try to change controls, game freezes for 5+ seconds.

edit: to fix this i had to change my controls ingame then go to steamapps/common/Dark Sector/Configs & make the file DS into "read only"

i assume to change controls again & have them saved would be to launch the game, undo read only, change controls ingame & reapply read only to that file again

Go into the game first, once you're in the game, go to options controls, tap the space bar on the first keyblind, once change, exit options go back into the game, then go back to option and change the keys how you like. Yea its dumb, but it works.

If someone stumble uppon this issue in the future, here comes the necro-fix:

1) Open: ..\steamapps\common\Dark Sector\Configs
2) Delete all files - !!especially!! "defbind.cfg"
3) Start game, set controls, resolution, sound and everything as desired
4) Profit

***

*) drawback - you can't set "default" controls by "HOME" button from now on
*) If you verify game files by Steam, "defbind.cfg" will be back

------------------------------

"defbind.cfg" is the source of all issues with keymapping. If you modify it, game crashes by pressing "default" to set default controls or even by trying changing any controls. "Defbind's" edits don't project into "ds.cfg" at all and cause issues. Sadly, after each game shutdown, launching the game automatically draws values from "defbind.cfg" and resets all controls. Just get rid of "defbind.cfg"... it disables "default" button, but well ... at least the game now remembers all new keybindings :)
