SRV Controls all unbinding just by opening the controls menu.

Masta Squidge · Oct 20, 2019

Edit 3: It turns out this applies to ALL controls, and its related to bindings backups. If I use a backed up binding, the game will default to whatever the binding was originally set to. This means anything not set will simply clear itself out.

I have started over after deleting all bindings and everything now works fine. This means I will need to ensure that I properly set all of my bindings before backing them u.

Maybe I am alone here but it seems like if I even think about my SRV controls they all reset to absolutely nothing.

No controls in SRV. Ok, lets go bind them. Set controls. Everything's working now, but I find one axis inverted. Attempt to go into controls. All bindings are blank.
Reset all bindings. Drive over to material on ground that I just shot. Oh darn, now I need to set my cargo scoop.

Go back into the bindings to set cargo scoop. Do so.

Back to square one where nothing at all works (except for the cargo scoop because I just set it!)

Turns out just going into the controls unbinds everything for the SRV!

After several roundabout attempts I have it all bound now but it unbinds everything for the SRV without fail every time I look at the controls menu!

EDIT:

It does the same from the main menu apparently.

EDIT TWO. ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.

Was your controller already in when you started the game?

I mean. I had been playing all day prior and flew there with it.

But yes.

@Masta Squidge - are you keeping backups in the same directory? There is a known issue that having backup bind files in the same directory can cause changes to not be saved. This is due to the game looking for the name of the preset in line 2 of the file, not the file name, so multiple files with the same name in line 2 causes issues.

That seems to be in line with what I figured out earlier. I deleted my backups and reset everything and they work fine.

Edit: I wasn't storing the backup in that directory though.
