The Season 4 Update has reset all my key bindings to the default settings.

  • Like many others, when I downloaded Season 4 it reset my keybinds.  Not them all, mind you, only for infantry; the rest remain unaffected, which is a bit weird.  To add to the problem I couldn't reset the key bindings; when I tried to select the key I wanted to rebind, hovering over the letter had no effect.  I could click on the letter until the cows come home and I wouldn't be able to change the key bind. 

    HOWEVER

    If I move the cursor to the RIGHT of the key bind letter, suddenly the keybind box changes to BOLD, and I CAN now change the desired keybind.

    It's one of those really annoying things that I've spent ages trying to resolve, and now I have, I just wanted to share it in case anyone else is experiencing the same issue.  It seems the actual selection area that you click is not aligned properly with the graphics on the screen.  Boy was that irritating!!!  Hope it is helpful to someone!

    Clicking on the right side of the bind box worked for me. The middle of the box and the left side would not do anything

    The "fix" for me was to close the game, delete everything in the cache folder (Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache), then re-open and bind keys.

    This is a repeat of an old issue from launch... silly Dice.

    @SharpGoblin if it works for you, mark as a solution so people don't have to dig through thread pls.

    Even if we figured out how to be able to click the buttons again, I think the fact, that the update deleted my key bindungs ist still a bug that needs to be exterminated.

    And I think this should be fixed for further updates to come.

    That was the reason, why I reported the bug in the first place.
