Controls reset after closing the game

[xSilver_One]

every time i close the game my setting for controls are getting reset.
this appent to be in al the games from Codemasters and is getting pretty annoying
fix this!!!

[ShaggyDan]

yeah i have an issue where if i dont hold my gas 25% down i cant browse menus properly, and if i switch to keyboard to restart champoionship (unable to with wheel), i get the same problem as you. seems like keybinds jsut dont save yet.
why is everyone so friggin demanding on these forums though lol....

[xSilver_One]

the demand is because its already a demand from F1 2010 / F1 2011 / F1 2012 / Dirt 3 / Dirt showdown related issue and still there isnt a solution for.

the part of holding the brake for 25% or more to browse is a new related issue that i didnt see before

no fix yet???

You have to push the 'start' button or 'enter' at the start. Whichever device you use (controller or keyboard) it will be the default device. Next time try to find the 'start' button on your wheel and your controller settings will be kept. On my aging G25 it is button 18. Pretty stupid thing but this is how it works in every Codemaster game in the 2010's. It needs to be changed or at least explained on the welcome screen.

[Diwiak]

dont remember such thing in Dirt3.

doing it exactly this way, button mappings and advanced wheel settings are mismatched again after restart(back to default)

is there any way to change default button mappings and settings in some config file???

its still stupid anyway, because using only wheel for menus navigation will have combined buttons (for liveries and quick menu, for example)

Guy in another thread gives me a tip to edit DEFAULT config file, I tried and it works and no more controls loosing,

under
'D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally\input' edit config file of your supported controller (for me its 'lg_momo_racing.xml'),
and set whatever you want, keep in mind that buttons starts with number '0', and deadzone and saturation '1.00' means 100%,

you can also change menu and replay mappings to keyboard
<!-- FE Actions -->), (<!-- Replay/Youtube Actions -->,

which works well EXCEPT F3 and F4 (keyboard codes "vk_code_0x72" and 0x73) when changing liveries or changing stage conditions (cant manage this - if you want change these, just set control preset to 'keyboard', and at stage start set it back to 'Logitech controller...' - all your settings will be back).

change at your own risk, always make a copy!

I was thinking of that solution as well for my own gamepad,however that F3/F4 bug prevented me from actually doing it.The best way is Codemasters releasing a patch.

..maybe someone else will know how to make those Fkeys work

Has anyone found a solution to this? I was hoping the FFB update would resolve this, but nope.

I hate to say it but I may be agree with you, I've got more than 100 hours in this already, but it's just getting too tiresome resetting controls.

Even more egregious is the handbrake doesn't have a set maximum, so those of us with analog handbrakes are forced to rebind controls AGAIN after a some playtime because the max is too far, and can't start a damn stage.

Good news is we got a few new rally games this year coming out. I am hoping the competition pushes all the devs to do better. Competition breeds innovations. So here is to hoping. No matter how well they do I will own them all. Just cause I can.

Check these titles out if you like rally games.

Sébastien Loeb Rally EVO Has a nice sales pitch, Like it could be the next RBR, but Mile Stone is the dev, and they have a poor track record of patch work after release.

WRC5 and the dev is not milestone. Thank god. This might be the first proper WRC game.

I agree with you both... Sim Racing since 2002 and only Codemasters games I need to mess with XML files to make the game support my wheel and shifter... Sent them e-mails and seems that they just ignore. Project Cars, Asseto Corsa, iRacing, Need for Speed Shift, Next Gar Game, a lot of other racing titles simply allow me to set up my controllers the way I want, but Codemasters titles seems to don't want me to use the gaming rig that I want by locking the configuration to a lot of presets that doesn't include what I need :(

[mrgrasgruen]

This problem is never going to get fixed, as it is present in almost all the Codemaster games.
Seriously, how hard can it be to provide even the simplest thing of saving the controls?

Sadly all the other rally games came out and all were garbage. Dirt rally is the best we got, and I am very disapointed in all of them.
