Changing Gamepad Shift Buttons Fix

[Phlonk]

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue or if it was just myself but hopefully this will help:

I am using an XBox One Elite controller and wanted to change the Shift-Up button to "B" and the Shift-Down button to "A" but it would not save the Shift-Up.

This is what I found and what I needed to change for it to work:

In the game go to controls and make the Shift-Up and Shift-Down the buttons you want it to be then exit the game.

In "\Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Config" folder the is a file "controls.json" open it up in a text editor like notepad (I use Notepad ++) in there you will find a section that looks like this:

	"gamepadSettings":
	{
		"useSteerWithRight": false,
		"rumbleIntensity": 0.80000001192092896,
		"steerSpeed": 0.69999998807907104,
		"steerGamma": 3,
		"steerFilter": 0.80000001192092896,
		"deadZone": 0,
		"speedSensitivity": 0.20000000298023224,
		"useAutoSteer": true,
		"uICommandButtonList": [],
		"raceCommandButtonList": [
			{
				"actionType": "GearUp",
				"key":
				{
					"key": "Gamepad_FaceButton_Right",
					"bShift": false,
					"bCtrl": false,
					"bAlt": false,
					"bCmd": false
				}
			},
			{
				"actionType": "GearUp",
				"key":
				{
					"key": "None",
					"bShift": false,
					"bCtrl": false,
					"bAlt": false,
					"bCmd": false
				}
			},
			{
				"actionType": "GearDown",
				"key":
				{
					"key": "Gamepad_FaceButton_Bottom",
					"bShift": false,
					"bCtrl": false,
					"bAlt": false,
					"bCmd": false
				}
			}
		]
	},

As you can see for some reason it has "GearUp" in there twice, I deleted the middle section to look like this:

	"gamepadSettings":
	{
		"useSteerWithRight": false,
		"rumbleIntensity": 0.80000001192092896,
		"steerSpeed": 0.69999998807907104,
		"steerGamma": 3,
		"steerFilter": 0.80000001192092896,
		"deadZone": 0,
		"speedSensitivity": 0.20000000298023224,
		"useAutoSteer": true,
		"uICommandButtonList": [],
		"raceCommandButtonList": [
			{
				"actionType": "GearUp",
				"key":
				{
					"key": "Gamepad_FaceButton_Right",
					"bShift": false,
					"bCtrl": false,
					"bAlt": false,
					"bCmd": false
				}
			},
			{
				"actionType": "GearDown",
				"key":
				{
					"key": "Gamepad_FaceButton_Bottom",
					"bShift": false,
					"bCtrl": false,
					"bAlt": false,
					"bCmd": false
				}
			}
		]
	},

and everything is working perfect.

Again, don't know if others were having this issue but I was with clean install.

Yeah i had the some problem. The game is just not finished and has stupid "features" like this. I refunded it

Maaann your a lagend. I also wanted to change buttons for up and downshifting. I did that left the menu and wasn´t able to shift at all. No matter what i did it was not possible to safe the buttons i had mapped for shifting.
Did search in the game files forever... didnt know that the gamepad settings are safed in documents not in the steamapps folder so i did never find them.
Due to that i havent been playing the game for a month or so because i just cant drive with autoshift.

T.H.A.N.K Y.O.U !

Glad it helped.

Yeah my problem is that in the settings there’s no option for changing the button for shifting so I literally can’t play lol

HINT: In general if anyone have problems with ACC options go and change the config files.

I appreciate you sharing your experience with others even if I am not a one who need it.

I haven't tried it, but it should be quite easy to do with the Steam controller settings. (?)
