(dd.mm.yy hh:mm) first update, p99 fixSummarize your bug Cant bind or unbind mouse keys or movementsHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? idkWhat happens when the bug occurs? as stated What should be happening instead? as statedCant bind or unbind mouse keys or movements since first patch to fix the p99. It doesnt recognize the keys or movements to bind anything on the mouse. To unbind mouse keys it says to hold the 3 horizontal line buttons like on a xbox controller. i have no controllers

@BlueberryBac0n Same thing happened to me with Update #3.

@SterlingARCH3R Negative, restore default doesnt fix the issue. Its as if the game thinks my mouse is a controller. I cant clear bindings cuz i need to hold the 3 horizontal lines button. and it doesnt register any movement or butttons on the mouse to bind. I have to use my steel series mouse software and bind my mouse buttons as keyboard characters. Luckily the movement of the mouse is bound otherwise i would have no way to look around. This has been an issue since update 2. It worked fine on release. I didnt bother posting anything because i was able to work around it. But now I had the issue of loosing horizontal yaw of the mouse with update 3 as many others have. Mine was fixed by unplugin and repluging the mouse. But my view spins like crazy when i am in the DOWNED state, and twitches my view if i use the wing suit making that unusuable. Funny thing is it does NOT do this with the parachute.

reinstalled the game and now my view just spins to the left forever. game is unplayble now

@SterlingARCH3R Unfortunately resetting to default or deleting the settings file doesn't really help. Yes it sets my keys to default and I can play with default controls but I play with a lot of custom keybinds esp for aircraft. Luckily my brother saved his settings config file and sent it to me, it already had the custom keys I use so it works for now. I still can't set any custom keys/movements related to my mouse though. It also shows me the 3 horizontal lines button to clear a mouse bind when I don't have a controller connected.

@BlueberryBac0n There's a temporary workaround fix for this here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Workaround-for-mouse-bug/m-p/11046869#M13455Also, you can press "Restore Default" on the bottom. That'll only restore the defaults for the key bindings page that you're on, and not the other keybinding menus. That'll reset and correct the mouse keys.

@BlueberryBac0n Yeah try the fix in the link. I should have clarified - the restore default is if you get it work but need to reset the mouse controls.

@RazZ_NaiX As a workaround, at least in the meantime if you still need to, it's possible to edit the mouse keys in that PROSAVE_profile settings file via Notepad. And yeah, I'd always save the settings file before making any changes, or as a backup.

@SterlingARCH3R Yes, you can edit the binds in the settings file but it not user friendly at all. Managed to workaround this issue for now.

@herrdreesen That is an issue a lot of PC players experienced with the recent update. The solution from EA/DICE is to delete the "settings" folder in Documents > Battlefield 2042 (very unprofessional solution I must say). It will reset all your settings but hopefully you can set them back again unlike me, who is stuck with another bug where setting mouse keybinds doesn't work at all.
