BUG: rebinding keys not working
hi all,
I just bought the game since it looks to be amazing, but I have a keyboard with azerty layout and it looks like the keybinding doesn't work.
Has anyone else had this issue?

I made sure I changed the keybinds: https://imgur.com/a/tAOQxvP
But it still uses the old WASD to move.
I tried shutting the game down completely, creating a new game, and while it shows my new custom keybinds in the settings, it keeps using the default ones.

Am I missing something or is it a known bug?

I tracked down the setting files that stores the new keybinds
(C:\Users\<name>\AppData\LocalLow\Perun Creative\HoboRPG\keyMappingRewired.txt) and there as well all seems to be changed fine to my preferences:
WPress;Keyboard;26;Z
SPress;Keyboard;19;S
APress;Keyboard;17;Q
DPress;Keyboard;4;D
UpArrowPress;Keyboard;89;Up Arrow
DownArrowPress;Keyboard;90;Down Arrow
LeftArrowPress;Keyboard;92;Left Arrow
RightArrowPress;Keyboard;91;Right Arrow
EPress;Keyboard;5;E
ReturnPress;Keyboard;58;Return
KeypadEnterPress;Keyboard;52;Keypad Enter
SpacePress;Keyboard;54;Space
LeftShiftPress;Keyboard;117;Left Shift
TPress;Keyboard;20;T
EscapePress;Keyboard;60;ESC
FPress;Keyboard;6;F
TabPress;Keyboard;56;Tab
IPress;Keyboard;9;I
MPress;Keyboard;13;M
JPress;Keyboard;10;J
RPress;Keyboard;18;R
QPress;Keyboard;1;A
LeftControlPress;Keyboard;119;Left Control
CPress;Keyboard;3;C
Mouse5;Mouse;5;Mouse Button 3
Mouse4;Mouse;4;Right Mouse Button

Yet the game itself doesn't seem to use them?

Thanks for reporting. It seems that the rebind system is broken and it doesn't get applied once changed. Working on a patch

I also ran into this, after purchasing the game this week. Please let me know if there's a patch or a workaround, hopefully before the refund deadline runs out!

I have the same problem, too. I usually heavy modify keybindings for my need. This is the first game in AGES I play on default bindings, because it's a very interesting survival sim. Thx devs. & hope we can get a fix. :steamhappy:
