My Keybind keeps clearing itself every time I reset the game

[KupoMof416]

Hey all.

I seem to be be having a problem with setting up key binds recently, though more specifically the Previous Inventory bind.

By default, it should be bound to the mouse wheel moving up. However, I have noticed that my game tends to delete the bind for that function whenever I start it up again. I have entered it again and again into the settings, but when I go back into the game it's cleared again.

When this happens, I can't get back to an item I need as quickly. When I scroll down on the mouse wheel, I select the next item in my inventory just fine, but if I forget to re-assign the mouse wheel scrolling up to go back an item, I have to scroll through my entire inventory to get back to the top of the list.

I've tried going into config.cfg and autoexec.cfg to see if anything was going on, but the bind is declared just fine in there.

It seems there is a conflict between MWdown bind. Double check for duplicate binds in your cfgs
Make your config.cfg and autoexec.cfg read-only. See if it helps.
Also put "host_writeconfig" in your autoexec's last line (before making it read only)
Put "exec (Your custom config).cfg" in your launch options

[KupoMof416]

I checked the files more closely. MWup and MWdown are both defined and are bound to the appropriate function, though I'm not sure if the line that the declaration is held on will impact functionality of a binding.

I do have host_writeconfig at the bottom of autoexec.cfg, but I don't have a custom config to use with the exec command. Do you mean one of the other config files or should I make up an entirely new config file to add in?

autoexec.cfg is a custom config. You don't need to add +exec autoexec to launch options because it will auto execute if it's in the correct directory.

Maybe post your autoexec.cfg content so we can review it.

No prob.

You should check off cloud synchronization. The correct spot for the config file is steamdir/userdata/[UUID]/730/. Somewhere in there I think. Local, possibly remote.

But I've never had to do that and my config applies across OSs. Click enable steam cloud synchronization in properties of game in steam.

I tried that, but I still have the bind deleting itself whenever I leave the game. I'm not sure if I should just try to check the integrity of the game files or whatever.

Do you mean what q is normally bound to? lastinv? If so, you don't that in your autoexec.

I think you want bind "mwheelup" "r_cleardecals;lastinv"

Also update rate, it's much higher now.

I couldn't find anything bound to Q when I tried to search for it in the file. I have also tried to suggested bind and I still get the same issue.

What do you mean by the higher rate?

Use bind "mwheelup" "r_cleardecals;lastinv" in place of your existing mwheelup bind.

You have hard-coded rate to an old setting. You should set it to the proper rate for your Internet speed.

Yes, I did do that in my autoexec.cfg file.

Is it working now?

The autoexec you posted didn't have the bind I suggested and rate was the old maximum setting?

As far as rate goes, I'm testing my internet speed to see what's going on. How is the rate measured, in Mbps or...?

Yeah, I put it in the autoexec file, saved it, went in, re-binded the MWup button to Previous Inventory and then quit, then came back and it deleted itself! I haven't gotten into any gameplay to actually try it out though, I'm only seeing the results from the settings menu.

You're setting binds manually. Don't focus on the settings menu for binds in that case. And note that any change to autoexec requires either a second load of the game or a manual "exec autoexec" in the console for the latest changes to be shown in the game.

Just add the bind I suggested to the autoexec.cfg file and try it in the game (restart CSGO twice).

I added the bind to the autoexec file and even put in 'exec autoexec.cfg' in the Launch Options console, but nothing has changed, even when I reset twice.

Delete your config.cfg file, or rename it.

The one in userdata? Or some other file I can't seem to find?

Yes, under the userdata folder.

Nothing changed. Same behaviors.

I tested your config on my PC. Works fine.

Just to be sure of what you're trying to do. You want to clear decals, and select the last inventory (weapon), when you scroll up with mouse scroll wheel, right?

Sounds about right.

Your config works for me. Make sure you are in the correct userdata folder. If you have more than one account or more than one player uses the PC, you will have more than one userdata folder.

I'm going into Steam\userdata\870887077\730\local\cfg

I do not have more than one account and nobody else uses my PC.

[KupoMof416]

Alright, so I played around with it. With the renamed file the game created a brand new config.cfg file. I still had the same problem, MWup wasn't bound to the prev inventory option.

However, I have noticed something when I went into a practice map.

When I scroll the MW up, it acts as though I were pressing the Q button (as in it goes back to the previous weapon I used), but it also clears the decals. When I manually put the previous inventory bind to MWup, it works as it usually does, but the decals do not get cleared when I scroll up.

Removing the clear decals attribute from MWup didn't change the fact that it still didn't bind it to Previous Inventory when I tried that out.

[KupoMof416]

I think I've decided to roll with these behaviors after all. It'll take some time to get used to, but I'm sure I can manage.

Since MWup now acts like the Q button, I can just use it to not only clear decals, but to also switch between the two quicker. All I really need is my main weapon and my knife to switch between quickly. The pistol is for those duels you sometimes get caught in.

Thanks to everyone who helped!
