    I am having the same issue I can't key bind it auto to mouse button five. I am using a Logitech light speed 502 wireless, I have turned off the Logi software and using corsair keyboard turned off the application for that as well, and still nothing. I didn't have the issue until today Sunday 14 Nov 21. I have done a fresh install as well and nothing. 

  • A quick solution that worked for me was to open the following file:

    C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Battlefield 2042\settings

    Open PROFSAVE_profile with notepad.

    Change this line:

    GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptSwitchInventoryItem.0.button 33

    to:

    GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptSwitchInventoryItem.0.button 67

    That will change the Gunner Switch weapon key bind from F to F9. (just an unused key for when Gunner)

  • literally my game options somehow dropped to defaults and when i started game today it thought that i just started playing it and started for me "begginers" video intro and all my settings dropped to defaults and now i have this weird bug that everytime i want to set mouse input it always binds to "mouse 5". I have tried to uninstall the game and download it again but nothing helped

  • I also have the problem. How hard can it be to make a game when keybinding works!
