Champion. I don't think you're getting what's being said here. The controller is overriding everything. There is no "hold escape to clear binding". If you hold escape it just backs you out of the bind and auto assigns the key (for me it's mouse 5 for whatever reason). When you go to bind it acts as if there's a controller doing the assigning. I have unplugged any hotas, controller, anything but a mouse and keyboard and it's still picking up remapping as a controller. Whatever this is, NEEDS to be fixed in a day 1 patch.
@SuperJomamanot sure if you've been able to correct this issue or not but i was having similiar problems with not being able to unbind the Mouse 5 key when holding down the ESC key.
However, unlike a bunch of you guys i do not have any controller hooked up to my computer.
I was able to correct the issue and delete the mouse 5 key bind in BF2042 by going into my Win 10 game settings and toggle on the Game Mode option.
Start >>> Settings >>> Gaming >>> Game Mode >>> Toggle on switch
After doing that, I no longer had the triple line thingy and i was able to simply hold down the ESC key and correctly unbind the key.
