I've rebound my devices so many times recently that I've committed almost all the bindings to memory at this point. Except the ones I don't use as often, like ECM and jettison cargo. Not to say that this is an ideal situation. I agree, it would be nice if an update that doesn't fundamentally change the way we control things in the game NOT wipe all keybinds. I don't mind doing the backups but er... Yeah it's just a small QOL thing that'd be nice.
Custom keybindings wiped
- Thread starter Gwaihir
- Start date
Restoring my my Custom Keybind 2.0 didn't help. Game creates a text file named, BindingLoadingErrors which says;
"There where errors when loading preset file: Custom.2.0.binds
Missing devices: GamePad, LogitechExtreme3DPro"
I don't want to keep them connected but if I connect them be able to use them, it used to be possible but not now. What has changed that requires me to keep my devices connected all the time? Because in other games even though I use keyboard it shows game pad keybinds etc. So I just connect them game specific. Can I keep doing that please instead of being forced to keep the joystick and game pad connected all the time?
Edit: Just realized you guys made a typo in that Error message
" where=were "
Editing again to give more clarification of what I was looking for. I want to be able to just connect my Joystick if the mood strikes. and have my bindings there. or my gamepad. but keep them disconnected if I'm not in the mood and just keep using the same keybinding. since there was primary and secondary choices for buttons allowing me to bind a keyboard and gamepad/joystick button for a single command like landing pad etc.

Since 3.0 I have this issue where my custom bindings don't show up in the menu if my Xbox controller isn't plugged in. I had the same issue in the beta. I only use the pad for controlling the cameras! Still, not a huge issue. Just have to remember to grab a pad from the RPi in the living room
My bindings weren't changed at all.
Disregard the following. I found that my USB ports lost contact with the throttle and the stick.. Rebooting fixed the problem. ?? Frustrating .
I loose my bindings about every 3 days..Sense the 3.0 release.(I play every day).
I've done the back ups as prescribed. Don't cure the problem. I changed out the whole directory.. zip!
I'm kinda running out of time to rebuild this stuff every time I want to fly with the guys.
What could be causing this?
I'm off to rebuild this stuff again!
INFO: I'm using a Thrustmaster 16000 stick and a CH Pro Throttle. I haven't had any problem before the Beta. After the beta my Voice control went nuts..I stopped using Beta then. I deleted HCS stuff as they said they (hcs) would have a fix for the problem. Rebuilt the bindings.. all was fine until the 3.0 release. I still haven't re-started my HCS voice control.
I had an idea. I removed the entire options directory and then went to the Game start window. Went to Options and Validate Game Files. This ran for a while but didn't replace the options directory. Darn! I need some answers here.

Yep - I did re-did the keybindings again from scratch 2 days ago. Logged in today - yep gone.
I think I'll just stop playing next time this happens, I simply don't have time to be ar$ing about with a broken game.
EDIT: Nor do I have time to keep raising bug reports. I've done my share.

Don't do this. At least read the bug report thread. Your keybindings are still there - either in the original file or in the backup file ED created.
What seems to happen (at least to me) is that ED can't find all of the bound USB devices at startup and then sulks and reverts to default settings. If you can convince it (I did by editing the StartupBinds file) to just use your custom binds, it can at least work with the devices it could find at startup (I still haven't managed to activate my camera control gamepad
).
