Which files are the key bindings kept, has it changed.

[nosscar]

Logged in today after a few days away, installed the latest upgrade (beta 6) and my joystick and key bindings have gone again. I have had this happen a few times recently, I always keep a copy of my bindings folder from the %appdata% frontier\options folder, but now it makes no difference even if i copy over my backup, still my custom settings are blank.
I do remember vaguely that at one point there was another user file they were stored in, could that be the reason i cannot restore them, is so, where do i find it.

This has only been happening since running windows 10, maybe that's also the problem.
Any ideas how to restore my binds without doing them manually again.

Edit: And yes, my joystick is plugged in, and everything is connected as normal. (i know this caused similar problems from other posts)
But just now checked and i have an error file in the bindings folder, which reads.
There where errors when loading preset file: Custom.binds
Failed to find semantic: YawAxis
Failed to find semantic: RollAxis
Failed to find semantic: PitchAxis
Failed to find semantic: LateralThrust
Failed to find semantic: VerticalThrust
So looks like it is not picking up my devices.

Update:
So i just tracked the fault down to my EDtracker, the usb port was not recognised on pc start-up, so the edtracker was not working, as this was set in my custom binds, (but not there) caused the error and the custom binds not to load, so reset my edtracker, (now working ok), recopied bids folder over, and all my keys are back.

Mods: you can delete this thread now, or leave it as info to others, your choice. thanks.

Thanks for the info, I just updated both game & beta after not playing this week and my bindings had disappeared too.

I plugged in my ED tracker and they were back, thanks, you saved me 20 resetting them, and obviously not finding the one I missed until I get interdicted , it has happened a few times lol.
