Big Key Binding Errors (Mouse Key Binding)

I am having issues with the Key Bindings tab. The text "Hold ESC to clear" for my mouse key bindings is no longer there, it just has the 3 horizontal lines in a circle to clear (I have no controllers plugged in, I have disabled controller input in steam). Also, it defaults to "Mouse 6" instantly upon selecting an action to key bind for my mouse (I don't even have a mouse 6 option). Currently not playable, any tips? See Image.

I have also tried re-installing the game, resetting my PC, re-installing drivers etc, nothing.

    My restore to default works fine, but the binding does not at all. my Issues is it picks up my mouse it seems as a controller or something with the 3 horizontal lines to clear binding, but it will not bind anything except for "Mouse 6" instantly, annoying. Quickly turning me off from the game after spending an additional 50$ to play early, I've spent more time trying to fix the issues and load in to the game then I have played the game.

  • Try again in a few hours.

    Mine worked fine on release, the next day I had exactly the same issue as you (Mouse 5 though for me). The next evening, I could rebind it fine.

    I don't have that issue, I can reset back to default no issue its just binding to my mouse that is the issue. I have a temp fix but mapping my mouse keys to the keyboard key through my razer synapse that corresponds to the action in game. But the game is still buggy.

  • also, to add on to this, even when you use other bindings, sometimes when you do specific actions (melee, parachuting, deploying, etc) it automatically equips the specialist gadget. and when you try to use whatever keybind you use for the specialist gadget, it just doesn't equip. also once I couldn't equip anything at all. All these problems didn't happen in the beta/early access, why now?
