Halo 2 Keybindings reset to default once I quit the game (MCC client itself)

[Sargon Aelther]

Once Halo 2's key bindings are changed and saved, they will work for that game session. Once I quit Halo MCC and start it again, Halo 2 key bindings will be reset to their defaults.

I have tried to click the "reset to defaults" button to see if that would help, but after changing my key bindings and restarting the game, they were once again back to defaults.

Does anyone else have this issue?

[Sargon Aelther]

I have just spent quite a while trying various key binding combinations and restarting the game a million times and I believe I have found the reset trigger.
It seems that binding "Zoom In (Not "Zoom")" to "1 (Not Num 1)" causes key bindings to reset to their defaults in Halo 2.

Halo Reach and Halo CE have no issues with "Zoom In" being bound to "1". Probably explains why there aren't many other people complaining.

Other action can be bound to "1" successfully. It is specifically the combination of "Zoom In" being bound to "1" that causes a reset upon game restart.

Has been happening since release back in December. It's so annoying.

Just found a fix for me

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Delete gameusersettings.ini

Relaunch the game (which regenerates the file).
Rebind your keys and save. And close/exit and see if it resets when you relaunch again.

This didn't have anything to do with it in my experience. I had Zoom In/Out bound to Mouse Scroll Up/Down.

I'll try the GemUserSettings.ini reset to see if that works for me.

Thanks! I ended up just keeping the game open and windowed in the background.

It's a great story but didn't take me too long to finish after this post.

This advice did not help me. Before, Halo 2's key bindings wouldn't save for me. Now (after deleting gameusersettings) none of the games key bindings would.

Wait, really?
Gotta try that

This works! I can now save Halo 2's bindings without issue. However, this seems to be true for Reach and CE as well (for me at least).

Can confirm that this works!

I'm having no issues with Reach or CE but have to reset Halo 2 key binds every time and it's driving me nuts!
I use shift for zoom in so it's not just setting it to the #1 that is causing it.
I'm also having trouble binding voice chat to another key. I keep getting a message saying one or more commands aren't assigned.
