Today a couple hours ago I was playing the game and besides players leaving the match faster then they got knocked and bad connection to servers , the usual stuff , the game was running well. after lunch I disconnected all the cable from my desktop to clean it and after cleaning and connected all cable back again , booted the pc back again , booted the game just to find that ALL bindings are gone... 

standard and costume binds are all gone

I swaped cables to try to fix it and didnt work 
I used " Verify Files integrity" to try to fix it and didn't work

I uninstalled the game and I'm now downloading the game as an attempt to fix this issue ( did NOT fix it ) 

I have the game since season 8 and this never happen to me

    Keybinds are stored in a different file: 

    %userprofile%\saved games\respawn\apex\local\settings.cfg

    Validating game files will not result in these files being touched, most likely why it didn't work.

    If the file still has this information then I'd recommend backing up this data somewhere else, letting the game restore the keybinds to default and then changing the new settings.cfg with the older one.

    If it's gone, nothing you can really do.

    Just restore all keybinds to default and work from there.
