Can't bind keys & keys bind themselves

[Simbl]

Hi,

I want to play with keyboard & mouse but something's not right. When I press the LEFT arrow key, the ship moves to the RIGHT. First I thought I binded something wrong but I couldn't find it. So I deleted ALL keybindings, literally every binding was empty (gamepad as well, just to be sure). Now If I return to the game it's still the same issue: I press LEFT arrow, the ship strafes to the RIGHT.

Second issue: When I delete all keybindings, save them and return to the menu, 'Forward' and 'Backward' are bound to W / Uparrow and S / Downarrow. It's like the game falls back to the default keybindings just for Forward and Backwards. The thing is: I don't want to bind the movement this way but even if I did, it would'nt work: When I press Uparrow and Downawwor, the ship moves Up and Down, instead of Forward or Backwards like the game automatically binds it.

So to sum this all up, I got two problems: Problem 1 is that the game binds 'strafe right' to the left arrow button, even if I delete all bindings. Problem 2 is that the game automatically bins Forward / Backward to W / Uparrow and S / Downarrow and I can't delete this. Also, if I press thos buttons the ship moves up and down.

I already deleted C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\RSG\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini and tried it again but it didn't work.

I bought the game way back when it was in Early Access. I remember having to fiddle around with the key bindings for quite some time back then, but it vertainly wasn't unplayable like it is now.

Please somebody help me, I just want to shoot down some ships!

Almost forgot: It's a QWERTZ Keyboard with german language. I also deleted Input.ini without success.

Ok I found out that other keybindings from my previous attempts didn't get deleted. So even though I deleted every keybinding in the binding menu, some of the movement keys still work. This is starting to look really buggy...
Also tried to start the game directly from the folder with Admin rights, no luck.

Hi! When you delete both the GameUserSettings.ini and the Input.ini the keybindings should reset. There is no other place this information is saved to. Delete both and start the game again. But you are right, the keybinding in this game is quite buggy, sorry for that.

[Simbl]

Hi, thanks for the response.

If I delete both files, the configuration resets. But even if I delete all bindings afterwards in the ingame menu, some bindings are still 'magically' there and can't be overwritten.

What am I supposed to to about this? I've searched the steam forums and I've read the sentence 'keybinding in this game is quite buggy, sorry for that' quite a few times. So how about a patch? Apparently there are plenty of users with similar problems. And I think a working keybindings menu on Unreal engine shouldn't be an impossible request, right?

I have a similar issue on linux. Is there a way to delete the default keybinds?

[Simbl]

You can delete them with that trashcan icon in the ingame menu. Problem is that some commands don't get erased, even if the table in the menu is completely empty.

[hck]

Could you tell us exactly what you want to achieve and what is not working? Is it still the same as in your first post (Left, Right, Forward, Backwards)?

[Simbl]

Same issue... Even if I erase all the keybindings, some of them still stay active. This makes it unable for me to bind they keys like I want them to.

[Lexbit]

It looks like all default keybindings are NOT deleted and that when the new keybinds are put in - its just appended to them.

In other words - the default keybinds cannot be overwritten. A bug is keeping these keybinds persistant.

[hck]

OK, I'll have another look at it.

Hmm... I just bound strafe up / down to arrow keys up / down and forward / backward to I and K and it worked. W and S were no longer bound and the newly assigned keys worked, too.

Do you have any simple step-by-step procedure to follow so I can reproduce your bug?

[Lexbit]

Did you try the procedure with a gamepad? and anything but the movement keys?
Its the primary fire , boost , thrust, change perspective view , and such that get mixed up on my end.

I've clicked the trash icon to clear the entry (say for firing)
Than on the gamepad I select the firing key

In game - the firing and boosting occurs.

I'm using Manjaro linux , on a AMD ryzen 2200G with a logitech X3D pro controller (I realize its an esoteric setup). But I'm sure the other person is on windows.

I am having a similar issue, I just got the game, and wanted to set up a similar control profile to the star citizen legacy profile I like, but, when I try to re map.. things seems to just not work. It assigns the new mapping.. sometimes.. but it also keeps the old button function. After 20 minutes of trying.. I gave up . This game looks great.. but if i cannot re map key binds.. it turns into a big bag of nope. Using an x box controller.

Could you delete both the Input.ini and the GameUserSettings.ini located at C:\Users\{YOUR_USERNAME}\AppData\Local\RSG\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and then do the following: Change one control binding at a time and immediately check if it works or not and please tell us exactly all steps you've made so we can try to reproduce the issue and can find out at what point exactly it is going wrong. Also always make sure to hit the trash can icon first before rebinding a control.
