Key Bindings on PC still not saving

@shardreg said in Key Bindings on PC still not saving:

Hello everyone,
hello Rare team,

it's been years now since this bug first haunted sailors and it still is an issue to this day.

With the addition of new actions in today's update (crouch toggle, crouch hold, dart radial), having to re-map key bindings again and again becomes even more of a chore.

It's mindboggling to understand the issue. One month it's the "Bait" action that won't bind, the next month it's all F-keys that can't be used.

Please, please, please finally make this a priority item and solve it for us.

Thank you!

Hello again,

Any chance of this getting any recognitation and acknowledgement?

Thanks!

Yes, i am getting this - having to rebind crouch each time i start the game up - if i close a session and restart then its still changed, but on closing the game completely it seems to wipe the changes.

I have seen in other games this issue being the file used to save these changes being read only.
Not on computer now so I can't look for the file.

I have tried this before - last year even - and it did not help the issue, unfortunately.

Hoping for our moderators/developers to finally address this.

Dear Devs & Mods,

please review this issue and put it on the "to fix" list. It has been years.

@itzeggward said in Key Bindings on PC still not saving:

@shardreg hey bro they are kinda busy fixing a ton of bugs right now and since the player can fix this one, its prob low on their priority. I fixed this by taking a picture of all my settings, then resetting everything to default, saving the game, and adding all my settings back in. It's tedious but it works, look it up on reddit that's where I found an explanation for the fix.

Hey you!

I appreciate your input and I am aware that there are a load of issues with Season 14 and its features.
However, this particular (proverbial) can has been kicked down the road for a few years now and still frustrates players - likely a lot more than bother to show up in the forums.

What's more, the "fixes" on reddit and on here do not guarantee success and it remains a gamble whether or not keybindings will save - and which.

Hence my persistance to keep this thread up high and get it noticed eventually.

Again, thank you for chiming in!

Cheers

Hello friend!

Sadly, your solution is one that's also presented on reddit (and here) - and it works just as "optionally great" as the other workarounds.

For instance, with the current iteration of the keybindings-not-saving-bug, it does nothing for me.

I'm still trying to get this recognized and (officially) commented on.

Please help.

Hello again,

It has been 2 weeks and this issue still persists ingame.

Please put this on the "to fix" list.

While it may not be the most urgent, considering the state of Season 14 and its features, it is one of the longest standing bugs in SoT.

Thank you.

Glad to have found this already posted. Upvoted.

I made this comment elsewhere but lets get one thread promoted until it's read.

I'm Steam on PC and my friends and I struggle with the new crouch keybinds auto overwriting existing settings on every restart. Please save my keys. I've tried the "workarounds". They don't work.

Thank you for chipping in!

The "workarounds" are at best a temporary solution and at worst (more realistically) a way to keep this issue from getting fixed.

@sxthyt said in Key Bindings on PC still not saving:

Upvoting, can't believe this still isn't even on the known issues list after all these years. Resetting doesn't work for me either.

Thank you for confirming and getting more visibility on the issue.

Add me to the list, as of today I have lost all key bindings and cannot get them to save either. Now I need 15 minutes to reset every bind before I play!
