Update changed some Mouse and keyboard settings

As the title says, some of my Mouse / KB settings changed after this latest update and I needed to remap them.

Was I just unlucky or did anyone else experience this. ?

  • Not only did it delete all my settings/keybinds which i spend months finetuning and now have no backup of it also (its not accepting them).  it is plain broken to the point i cannot rebind any key so i cant even play as i use a way different setup then default'as a lefty. 
    You should be paying me instead of me paying you!  You made this game worse every single update downgrade.

    Fix this NOW we paid for this *.

    JFC, i had a lot of key bindings and mouse settings tweaked.  A little GD heads up DICE would of been nice before the update, like hey, we're going to totally wipe out all your key bindings, better make a backup, sorry about your luck, see you on the BF sucker!

    @k4jdob2kktpl -- good point ( I knew this but it needs restating !)

    Just to add - I had no problem resetting my bindings - it is just a pain having to do so...
  • @E_Haggis Sad fact is that backups are not even accepted. i had a old mostly correct backup but it's not accepting them despite the fact the file has not changed. it seems to overwite it with the empty one from the server every single time...

    @k4jdob2kktpl This works for keyboared binds, however mouse binds are completely broken. i have a mouse with 11 keys i need as lefty in these games sadly as console port controlls require to many freaking buttons. but all i get is a instant bind to mouse button 6 (5/4/3 for others). it needs a fix.
  • My in-game keybinds have magically reset and to make matters worse, the game won't allow me to change them, as though they are locked. Experienced this 3/3/23, last played game 5 days  ago and the game worked fine.

    My Soldier controls have been resseted afther Installing Patch 4.0 and some are almost impossible to change. I sometimes go to click ten times or more before I can even change a button and some do not react to clicking on them at all, which makes playing the game for me impossibel at the moment.

    @EpicMalarky Doesn’t help you, but I had the same issue it reset a bunch of things. I was able to fix it luckily. Still shows me prompts even though it’s off. Hopefully you have a back up of your profsave file? If not, again I know it doesn’t help now, but afterwards make sure you keep a backup. I started doing it after the game wiped out my settings a few updates back.

    Had the same issue.  Couldn't figure out why I wasn't able to go prone.

    Also had the issue with it not allowing me to change the key bindings.

    I had to exit and return and keep clicking on the box.  Took a few times for each key bind but I eventually got all of them changed.
