How To Change Keybinds In Input.ini file
By SlimDylan
Change your keybinds for SCUM with Input.ini file
Tested and works!

This example will be changing the ToggleHUDVisibility keybind but can be used for any other keybind you want so long as there are no conflicts with keybinds from the base game control menu.

Step One
IMPORTANT: If your Input.ini file is empty, you need to change and Apply a keybind in-game first then exit the game and reopen the .ini file

Win + R >> Type %localappdata% Hit OK >> Open SCUM Folder >> Saved >> Config >> WindowsNoEditor





Step Two


Select then right click the Input.ini file and Open with Notepad or (if you have it) Open with Notepad++

Scroll and find "ToggleHUDVisibility"
Toggle HUD Visibility is on line 23

True means you need to combine this key with something else, usually the (eg.) key=B - Most of what you see will be False
Turn what you want to combine with as True by typing it in place of False

I changed bShift=False to bShift=True

Then you want to change the Key=Subtract to whatever key you would like

I changed mine to Key=N

So for me to now use the keybind to Toggle my HUD I use Shift + N

NOTE: You must save this file a simple Ctrl + S will do it, or go to file >> save
You then need to restart your game for it to take effect.


Final Example
Example of what mine now looks like:
ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleHUDVisibility",bShift=True,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=N)

Never heard of this before, should maybe make a post on another forum. Sorry I couldn't help any further than that.

One thing you could do is make a backup and replace the file each time it happens, seems tedious but at least you get the key bind setup you're looking for during that day or however long it usually takes before it changes.

No it just started downloading a file or two then it was reset.

That’s strange, did a prompt pop up saying Input.ini was changed in some sense? You may have a Yes or No option, I would suggest selecting no.

Other than that I’m unsure how the file could reset itself. I have had my key binds changed for some time and everything has stayed the same as I have set it.

I haven’t went into complete depth of what keybinds are unable to be changed but I know that the Input.ini file has far more to offer than that in game.

I tried doing this before i found this guide, it downloaded a new version of input.ini resettting everything.
Also some keys are hard coded and can't be remapped.
